When the weather is as cruel as it has been these last few weeks, you need some comfort. Nothing could fill the bill better than Shady Character’s cozy cotton flannel pajamas and robes, complete with comfort-food prints.
When you need a late-night nosh, put on those drawstring pj’s with the hot fudge sundaes and cakes all over them. Or try the breakfast pj’s, with fried eggs and hot coffee to spur you out of bed faster. Wistful for warm weather gardening? One pair has tomatoes, asparagus and eggplants on a blue or yellow background.
Now on sale, the robes are $52 and the pajamas are $48 in small to extra-large sizes. They’re at Toshiro, 3309 N. Clark St. (312-248-1487).
Also check out Toshiro’s freeze-dried asparagus, lemons, strawberries and eggplants ($2 to $4). They make nice table centerpieces.
