Pajama dressing graced the runways at Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton while celebrities like Rihanna, Jessica Alba, and Rashida Jones took the look to the red carpets. For the average person, attempting the same bedhead-chic vibe can be tricky. You could quickly wind up looking sloppy and shapeless. To properly achieve that relaxed effect while remaining polished, take a cue from the way this stylish show attendee has styled her pants. Rather than adding a heel as to "dress up" the outfit, she fully embraces the pajama and slippers look by adding a flat sandal. Recreate this outfit by first choosing a dark, patterned pair of silky trousers hemmed so they graze the tops of feet. Then add a metallic flat for shine, and finish off with a rich jewel-tone textured clutch. On top, you'll want to avoid busy patterns or anything boxy: instead, wear a simple fitted silk tank or tee to keep the silhouette clean. Click ahead to see three ways to try out pajama dressing, at every price level, without looking like you're headed to bed.

Lululemon CEO Exits, Sheer Pants Link Unclear
Lululemon's CEO of five-and-a-half years, Christine Day, will step down as soon as a successor is found, the company announced today. WWD reports:
Day said, "Plans have been laid for the next five years and a vision set for the next ten." She added that now is the right time to bring in a ceo who will drive the next phase of the firm's growth.
No explanation for her departure was given, but one head already rolled after that sheer-pants scandal earlier this year, so it's probably not related.

Ad Age Notes Which ‘Women to Watch’ Wear Pants
Ad Age’s annual "Women to Watch" list comes with a key to help you quickly identify which of the women honored (a) have a child, (b) own a fish, (c) have a dog, (e) have traveled the world, (f) have worked for an agency, or (g) often wear pants. Needless to say, listicles of male CEOs don't usually consider a daddy badge relevant. But pants? (Or are those jeans?) I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to glean from that information. Does it denote her dedication to casual Fridays? Is it a metaphor for her marital dynamic? Does the advertising industry secretly adhere to unspoken dress code of the Mormon church? It's nothing against the nominees, who include Lucky editor turned Target exec Gigi Guerra (improbably, she did not get a pants badge). Read about her and other radical, trouser-wearing broads at Ad Age.
