It’s intended to signal that this garment is daywear and not for sleeping. This is to protect the manufacture from liability because all children’s sleepwear is supposed to be flameproof. Deadass that’s the answer

I have this theory that, in the twilight of our epoch, what used to be considered Small talk now has the most heft. When you talk about the weather, you’re talking about climate crisis. If you’re like “cute shoes where are they from” you’re talking about supply chain.

I pour my heart into a fashion podcast called Articles Of Interest. This season is a multi part documentary about preppy clothing- from Brooks Brothers to Ralph Lauren and I promise- it's really fascinating. Please subscribe and help spread the word?

It's so special when you find a fast fashion garment you can treat like slow fashion. I have a sweater from H&M that a friend gave me- I get it dry cleaned and I treat it right and truly, I've loved it for years. It's rare but it can be done!
