I gave one of my students The House on Mango Street to read. While reading it, she came and asked me what nylons were.

I tend to dress a little nicer than most of my peers, but there are a couple of older teachers who really dress up. The K teacher wears dresses and hose most days.

I'll wear a dress or skirt on Mondays - no recess duty - but it's with tights or bare legs when it's warm enough. Otherwise it's chinos, cords or jeans on Fridays and messy days. All my sweaters are cashmere though - warmth without bulk. Lands End had an awesome deal just before Christmas...

I struggle to find nice warm weather clothes.
