What Do You Wear During DC Hours?

[daycare]

ok I have to know...

for those of you that voted you wear jeans, how do you do it? I am on the floor, running, jumping, doing somersaults, cart wheels, stretching, dancing and so on. I could never do it in jeans....

I wear the litghter weight long and lean GAP jeans. They are real comfy. Khaki's or cargo pants are comfy too.

I agree! I don't buy cheap jeans, mine are all seven for all mankind or rock and republic, so it makes me cringe to think of them getting dirty. I could buy cheap jeans for daycare use only, but that seems uncomfortable to me. I am in yoga pants today (bootleg, black) and a long sleeved blouse, and a black cardigan. I feel comfortable, and I think I look professional. My hair is done and makeup is done, so I look put together, imho.

I wear my regular clothes (jeans or yoga pants and a season appropriate shirt) and a scrub top over the shirt.
I find it very convenient to have the large pockets, they are roomy and comfortable, make me look a bit more professional AND keep my clothes cleaner so if I have run out at the end of the day, I just pull the scrub top off!

I wear your basic Levi's 505's daily ~ and I must say the addition of 1% spandex is wonderful At 52, I'm not doing alot of cartwheels and somersaults ~ that's what I pay my late teen/early 20 assistants for!

I do keep a pair or two of nicer, dressier jeans for date nights with the hubby.

My version of casual Friday is The Traveler boot cut pant from either Chicco's or Boston Proper. Still pull on, but a heavier weight and a more generous cut than most of the yoga pants that I have tried. Paired with a longer sweater or top it's pretty cute and comfortable change from jeans.

Now that it's summer I wear shorts and a t shirt

[Brooksie]

I wear yoga pants, sports bra, and a tank top. I like feeling secure and functional throughout the day. And nope, no underwear here! I never ever ever wear underwear with yoga pants or leggins because I think the panty line looks terrible and it gives me a massive wedgie, which I don't want the kids watching me dig out ALL day .

Well, none of my shorts from last year fit me (bought them all after my weight loss, and I have since gained everything back!), so I am stuck with my 2 pairs of jean capris that I have (that are not so giving when it comes to moving around too much) and a couple pair of athletic-type capris. I pair them with a simple t-shirt or tank-top.

[Soccermom]

Mostly sweats with Tshirts or hoodies. Also fun PJ bottoms with tshirts
Considering getting scrubs for next year since I will have a lot of littles and I thought it might look more professional LOL

[melilley]

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.

LOL! I once worked with a girl that didn't wear a bra. Well I guess a few parents complained about it and our director had to bring it up in a meeting. No names were mentioned, but we knew who she was talking about.

I've also seen parts of underwear that shouldn't be seen! ::

Haha, I love where this thread went to! For bedtime, I wear a T-shirt or tank top, undies and cotton pants or shorts. I think my night wear is because I have this notion in my head that if we had to evacuate the house on a whim, I want to at least be clothed enough for the public.

Oh, yes, and occasionally socks to bed too ;-)

Very true, you do want to be clothed enough in case of an evacuation!
We had a fire 2 years ago. It was 10:00pm and it was summer so I was wearing my stretchy daisy duke shorts and a little tank top. Well I noticed a glow in the back of my house so I ran out to the back to look and sure enough our house was on fire!
Well, I had to run out of the house in that skimpy pj outfit with no shoes at that!
The neighbors probably got a show every time I bent over!..::

[melilley]

I wear jeans and a t shirt or nicer tank top. I think that I could live in jeans and can do everything in them that I could do in a pair of let's say, yoga pants!

[Patches]

I wear scrubs because I have a lot of them from my medical background. Plus they are cool in the summer, have lots of pockets, and comfortable. During the winter I just put a long sleeve shirt under it. I have noticed that a lot of daycare centers in my area are starting the have their employees where them also.

I find scrubs to be very hot in the summer. I wear them most of the time. But not much in the summer.

[LoraJenkins]

I wear scrubs because 1) They are stain resistant 2) They are comfortable and 3) They seem more professional to me. And as far as undies, granny panties during the week, VS on weekends and to sleep....I go all natural

[Little Star75]

I wear jeans with cute tops, wear make up everyday, do my hair, during the summer I wear shorts, capris, tank tops, cute dresses, etc. when I have an interview I always try to look as professional as I can. I will wear something like a long summer dress or just jeans but with a nice shirt. ::
