    I wear everything, dresses, shorts, jeans, leggings etc. and in many colours.
    Today for example: I'm wearing my white denim capris with a terquoise top....yesterday I had my skinny jeans on with a red tank top....tomorrow I might wear my maxi dress...

    This to me is comfy, so I wear it. I don't do my makeup everyday but I do if we're going to playgroup....I'm not a big accessories person though. I also wear mostly flats....sandals, flip flops, ballerina slippers & my runners.....SOMETIME S I'll wear a wedge but that's if I have like 2 'older kids'.... my hair is 70% in a pony or the rest flat ironed. Just be you!

    p.s. My shorts are mostly bermuda ones & I also make sure my tops dont show if I bend down and if wearing leggings bum is covered with a tunic.....and I do NOT show "middle-skin" I had a pair of pants that got looser throughout the day (drove me nuts) the second I felt that I that I was showing any skin or panties I'd change asap.

    I think 'professional attire' depends a lot on the industry - I would not expect my plumber to show up in dress slacks and a white shirt and tie but at the same time I do not want to see his CRACK while he is working cause that is unprofessional

    Same goes for us ... we are expected to be down on the floor with the children, bending and lifting and cleaning up messes, engaged in creative art and sensory fun and other messy things ... our attire should ensure that we are able to do this with comfort and ease ... so for me that is generally loose fitting pants either yoga pants, leggings or comfy jeans. If I am taking the kids to the splash pad or outside for water play I wear a one piece 'skort' style bathing suit that can get wet and dry with ease but it covers the same amount of me as my shorts and a tank top would while allowing me to 'work' with the children without concern .... comfort and professionalism can go hand in hand
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    I'm all about the yoga pants ( although they have never seen a yoga class )
    Tank tops for summer and t-shirts for winter. Nothing has holes or torn or look like I picked them off the floor. I live for clean and tidy comfort!

    I was going to say the same about mine
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    Jeans & a comfy shirt every single day. Some days I have to change my shirt after lunch because I'm such a mess but none of the parents have ever asked me why, haha. Am I going to be uncomfortable when I'm this busy? No way!

    I don't own yoga pants!
    If my a$$ is getting this big with jeans I do not want to see where it would go with stretchy pants!!

    It's warm here so it's jean capri's or modest shorts everyday! If it's a little cooler it's yoga pants, tanks, and t-shirts! You can still look good in yoga pants and jeans Keep it casual, clean and comfortable is my motto! If you don't have little tiny ones tugging and your earnings and necklace you can add some simple accessories and tada!

    Clean, comfy and modest. My look says professional, but willing to get dirty! If I can, I will usually change into clean T for pick ups. Oh and can't live with our my yoga pants and capris!
