For many years, it was skirt, blouse and heels when I used to work in an office. Then, when I became a preschool educator, I switched to good quality yoga pants and tops. I love my smart yoga pants, they look very urban and classy (I think) and I can wear them (at least the black ones) to almost any formal functions, with a white blouse and high heel boots/shoes. The gray ones are mostly for work and casual weekends. I rarely wear jeans, now. They seem uncomfortable now that I have tasted the comfort of a well cut and well made pair of yoga pants. They are also very flattering where it counts!

Summer is mostly short sleeveless dresses and flat sandals. Aww... how I miss summer!

Recently, due to the influence of DW, I've gone a little more Tommy Bahama. I like their clothes because they look good, fit well, and you can vault over barriers in them without looking ridiculous.

Well, you can vault over barriers in them anyway.

ann taylor (and loft), j crew, banana republic, gap, saks off fifth. for shoes, cole haan is the best. they're pricey and worth every penny. their boots with the nike air soles are unbelievably comfortable, even with 3" heels.

i live in the panhandle, so it's almost always warm here. my summer uniform is a light dress with flip flops or sandals. in cooler months, jeans or a dress with boots.

straight leg jeans with a heel or a wedge shoe will make your legs look a mile long. skinny jeans with knee high boots can make your legs look pretty fabulous, too.

work outfits vary wildly. anything from jeans to a suit, depending on what's on the agenda that day.

My job involves a lot of running around after small children with autism and crawling on tge floor at times (I am a pediatric occupational therapist) but I also need to look professional. AND my building has the worst heat regulation ever. Some rooms are pumping with heat and like 80 degrees and some are freezing. So almost everyday I wear a short sleeved shirt with a long sleeved button down cardigan over so I can take it on and off as temps fluctuate, and I own every color of Old Navy kakhis...light tan, dark tan, brown, black, light grey, dark grey, green, navy....

On weekends I do a lot of leggings with a long shirt/sweaterdress over and boots. Also a lot of bootcut dark wash jeans and sweaters.

Oh, and on my feet at work I have several pairs of those flats Sketchers makes that have a sole like a sneaker. Not allowed to wear sneakers to work, but as previoisly mentioned I run around after small children so those Sketchers are the best. And the weekend attire I mentioned is if I'm actually doing something social or going to a restaurant, bar, ect. For errands or hanging out, I live in yoga pants, uggs, and hoodies.

You super duper need to get their emails.

Oddly, I do not own a pair of jeans even though my work requirements are pretty laid back and allow them.  Normally I'm in khakis, polo shirts, shorts in summer.  (I went several months this past year without ever wearing long pants.)

During the brief time that I'm not working, running, or at home, I just wear work clothes or clean running clothes.  DW does pretty much the same but in work scrubs or her golf stuff.
