Clothing is all about context. If you wear pajamas to my library, I WILL think you look like an idiot, like a mess, like you have no clue how our society works. I don't care if they are your "going out pajamas". I WILL judge you. I would say sorry, but I'm not sorry about it, so I won't. I have seen countless people in pajamas, at all hours of the day.
It has nothing to do with making myself feel good. To me it's the same as showing up to the supermarket in a tuxedo or to family dinner in scuba gear. Appropriate outfit FAIL.
Regarding "what if they're your friend", well it's not like all of us would wear what all the others wear. We all have our own sense of appropriate dress, of taste. There is quite the range among us. That said - this isn't a big worry in this group. We all have our foibles but we dress just fine...for the most part.
