Today is a very traditional day in the Judeo-Christian world.  And this year the convergence of Good Friday and the first night of Passover proffer a whole other spin on the meaning of kinship. Many academics claim that the Last Supper and the Seder were one of the same.   As a child growing up in a family bridging the spectrum of Jewish doctrine from Reformed to Orthodox and filtered through a contributing Catholic perspective, these holidays were often celebrated with a twist.  We honored the practice, but always had fun in the process; one part serious, one part educational and two parts party.

Believe it or not, this is what I thought of when searching my files. I came upon Splendid’s short PJ set. This shape has been a part of the Intimates market repertoire for as long as I remember: a piped one pocket button front short sleeve shirt with matching boxer shorts. However, the Splendid take on this style is unique and caught my attention. It is the soft rayon voile fabric in vivid solids as well as kitschy prints that render an interesting retro interpretation to this classic pajama. There are many great versions of this basic sleepwear body in the market.  This one respects its essential intimate heritage and enhances it with a dose of novelty
