    What Do You Wear During DC Hours?

    I know several providers wear YOGA pants. (myself included)
    I've heard several wear scrubs???

    What do you WEAR and why??
    I have a ton of scrubs since I have a medical background but I never thought about wearing them during DC hours! Might be a good idea....

    I wear either nice jeans (no holes, tears) and/or cotton khaki type pants.

    Usually both the slacks and the jeans have some sort of stretch in them so they are easy to move in.

    I usually buy the Eddie Bauer brand slacks made with some sort of scotch guard so they don't get dirty, stained or wrinkled.

    I wear a comfy top such as a long sleeve t-shirt style top or a sweater or blouse.

    I fix my hair every day but I don't wear make up. Never have.

    In the summer months, I wear capri's (not denim though) or longer walking type shorts. NEVER short shorts and never scrubs, sweats or yoga pants.

    NOT SAYING those things aren't ok, just not how I was raised.

    Oh, and I ALWAYS wear underwear.

        Blackcat your funny. I too wear underwear daily. I prefer wearing excercise pants Old Navy. They aren't like yoga pants they are loser not so form fitting. I either wear dark gray, dark blue, or black. For my tops I wear Nike and Under Armour zip up hoodies. In different colors. For my shoes I wear either Under Armour or Nike sneakers. My hair is kinda long so I like to wear a high pony tail or bun. I prefer my hair down but the infants love to grab a hold! Sometimes I wear mascara and some blush so I don't look dead!
        In the summer I like to wear again from Old Navy there capri pants in the same material as the excercise pants. On top I like to wear Nike or Underarmour short sleeve t-shirts and sneakers/slides.::

          This is me all the way!

          I typically don't wear makeup, though on occasion I will if I'm going out to dinner that night or something. I just figure that the kids really don't care if I'm wearing makeup, why waste my nice makeup when I'm with kids all day who don't care? I do wear makeup on weekends though.

            Capris (any material) with t-shirts in the summer.

            Yoga pants and jeans with sweaters, fleece pullovers and sweatshirts in the winter.

            I've got really long hair so I definitely do it every morning and I always wear mascara because I'm blonde and it would otherwise appear as if I had no eyelashes


            I never wear shorts, tank tops, skin tight or low cut anything during daycare hours.

              I wear jeans and a nice top or hoodie.

              I do my hair and make-up daily and try to be as professional as I can.

              It helps me be more confident. Also if I say kids must be ready for the day in my policy book- what message am I sending if I am not???

              Every once in a while I will wear "nice" sweats or athletic pants.

              Jammies are only on jammie day

              I also wear my under clothes and shoes are a must for me. I can't stand not to have shoes (flip-flops or tennis shoes) on.

                I wear casual but nice clothes. Mostly Ann Taylor Loft stuff...nice jeans or capris. On occasion, I will wear yoga pants. I always do my hair and makeup. I have NEVER opened without having those things done!

                  I usually wear skirts and comfy tops in the summer, or dresses.

                  Dresses with leggings a lot in the spring and fall, layered with sweaters as it gets colder.

                  Nice jeans and super-warm layers in the coldest parts of winter. Lots of dresses and leggings then, too, as I can just stuff them under snowpants when we go outside. I wear a lot of cashmere sweaters, but they're $6 thrift-store ones. :-)

                  I have a lot of fun with scarves, necklaces, and earrings, but very rarely wear make-up. My hair's usually in a simple ponytail or bun.

                  My goals are to be comfortable enough to get on the floor and play, tromp through the woods, paint, and get messy without worry, but also to look professional enough to fight that just-a-babysitter impression many people have.

                    I wear jeans and yoga pants or thick winter leggings in the winter. Sometimes my jeans have holes in the knees because I am boney and spend a lot of time on my knees. But I don't keep leggings or yoga pants with holes in them.

                    In the summer I wear capris, bermuda length shorts. I never wear short shorts.

                    I wear tshirts, button up shirts and casual blouses on top. Never spaghetti strap tanks or tube tops. Thick strap tanks in the summer.

                    I wear a bit of makeup daily. Tinted moisturizer, neutral shadow and eyeliner. Lip gloss.

                      I could have written the same post, I like to buy dresser tops because I want to look nice, now I just got to keep my odd from stealing them to wear to school.

                        I'm thinking of switching from jeans to longer skirts with leggings, I feel so much more comfy in dresses (I wear them all summer)

                          I wear yoga pants in cold weather and shorts in the summer with a t-shirt.

                          If I can pick up clearance t-shirts and Wal~Mart or Old Navy I am a happy daycare lady. My shirts get really dirty, bleach spots on them, and washed a lot so I am not going to spend a lot on nice quality clothing for the dc.

                            Jeans or khaki pants/shorts, t shirts or polos. ALWAYS color coordinated Converse, because my feet reject everything but Converse. ::

                              Yoga pants, (I am a yoga pant addict!) I get them on sale from Express or Victoria's Secret because they are short enough (I'm 5'0"). I wear either my daycare logo t-shirt or a kid friendly shirt (plain, layered tee's or a character shirt). My hair is always done and so is my (light) makeup. I like to look nice, and be comfortable.
