    I have polos made with my daycare name embroidered on them and jeans (or capris in the summer).

    Light makeup, hair in a pony.

      I wear jeans, nice black pants (Express), khakis, dresses, or skirts. Dresses and skirts have leggings underneath them. I'm on the floor and don't wish to flash anyone. ::
      I wear nice shirts (but not my nicest, my kids don't need me in clothes from Cache). Often times I'm wearing a cardigan over them because I get cold very easily.

      I operate this as a preschool and do not feel like yoga pants/sweats/scrubs would be appropriate attire. Teachers in the public school don't wear them, and I don't either.

      My hair is either straightened and down or pulled back in a low ponytail and I always wear make-up.

        Hmmm, I like the polo idea. My nice shirts would get less wear and tear. Where do you get them made at?

          I met a woman a while back at a craft fair who owns an embroidery shop. She is really awesome...and she ships.



          She took my EXACT logo, and put it right on the polos. She actually has a picture of it on the gallery page.

          You could probably find someone local to you though, either who embroiders, or even a screenprinting shop. I personally like the embroidering better then screenprinting.

            Just wondering if your teachers have a dress policy? Ours used to and then......that must have went out the window with everything else.

            I was at the HS one day picking up dd and looked up. I said something about the kids up there and she said "Thats not the kids, thats the teachers!"

            The litterly could have passed for student with the age and dress-
            Each day is a fresh start
            Never look back on regrets
            Live life to the fullest
            We only get one shot at this!!

              Some of my parents are teachers, and one of them shocks me every time I see her. What she wears to work should be for "clubbing" only.

                Yes, they do. I was a student teacher only 1.5 years ago and had to wear dress pants and a nice blouse/shirt/sweater. We could wear blue jeans on "special days."

                My teenager's teachers also wear nice clothing.

                    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.
                    This is me--- I do wear denim capri's. I wear comfortable clothing. I do put a little make up on every morning. I shower and comb out my hair and let it air dry, and then it either goes in a pony or down for the day. I don't fuss with it much. I am plain Jane for the most part. I wear socks and crocks or socks and sneakers. Simple, comfortable get down on the floor stuff. Once in a while I will wear the yoga pants.

                    Does everyone dress different on the weekends?

                      No, not unless I am going on a date with my husband. I wear nice clothing during the work day, but I wear VERY nice clothing to go on dates with my husband.

                        I love my velour hoodie jackets and pants from NY & Co and have practically every color. My husband calls them my "daycare uniform". :: I also wear jeans and t shirt tops a lot too, but the velour is so warm and comfy in cold weather!

                        In the summer, I wear capris and skorts most of the time. It's all about looking nice, but being comfortable too.

                        I always do my hair and make up... some days it is just a minimum with a pony tail, foundation & mascara, but the effort is always there!

                          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.
                          I was like this for a long time, but then I decided to just do it for me- no one else. Gives me an uplift. I put a little eye shadow and mascara on, lip balm. By the end of the day it has fallen off anyhow for the most part. LOL I don't reapply or fuss during the day, maybe if I am going somewhere at night I will refresh after closing.

                          My kids are funny, they care. They notice if I don't wear it. I didn't wear anything for a couple of days, I had a little stye I wanted to nurse. Every once in a while I won't wear anything, because I have excema. Parents and kids kept looking at me, like I was not right. I don't wear much but just enough that they notice something is different. Its funny.

                            Open house night this year when meeting my sons teacher he turned so red I thought his cheeks would burst. He wouldn't look up from the floor or quit giggling and she asked me if he was just nervous. What I said was no. What I thought was - ummm........how to put this delicately..........I'm sure it's because your dress is so tight he can literally see the outline of your freckles and I personally am wondering if you have nipples because your dress is so low cut I'm shocked they're not showing at this point...please excuse the boy, he's never seen a woman dressed so provocatively at just 8 years old....also please excuse me too, I've just never seen a TEACHER dress so hooch in all my life

                            When we walked out of the room to leave my husband preemptively held his hands up and said "don't punch me, I swear I was NOT lookin!!!"

                            Although he breezes through his homework here at home just like he always has my sons grades have dipped noticeably this year, I can't imagine it has anything to do with her bits hanging out everywhere at school all day

                              Fun!

                              What does everyone's wardrobe consist of, as far as a good quantity. I seem to either have to much or not enough and looking for a balance and regimen for swapping out clothing for seasons and not looking like I wear the same thing everyday. Anyone have a good system going for clothing for themselves?

                              I won't argue more is better--- but I am trying to find a balance and not have so much laundry to do etc..

                                I wear either jeans and t-shirt or cotton capris with a t-shirt. I don't wear makeup. Have long hair so it's either completely up or down and curly pulled back or straightened(which doesn't happen often). Summer i wear either shorts and a t-shirt and occasionally a tank top.
