You know how it's often said that high fashion begins on the streets? Well, here's an instance of fashion trickling up not from the streets, but from the sofa. Or Walmart. Joe's Jeans is doing pajama jeans. Available in skinny and flared styles, in a variety of washes. For $158. Wow. Does having a high price tag and a logo diminish the jokiness factor?
