well mine is very very simple i'm a nurse i wear white or i wear scrubs so i guess you'll have to carry this one
uh-huh you're all set then
oh geez i i'm a teacher
and uh basically what we do is we dress for the weather especially the climates inside the school
isn't it different it is different isn't it inside than
not so much they climates out
uh my daughter says that too that it's freezing when they turn on the air conditioning and it's so hot when they turn on the heat
it is it's unbelievable usually we layer our clothing
uh-huh
and um that way we have you know we can strip off layers
and not so much our pants but you wear a sweater and a short sleeve shirt underneath that
yeah
and then you can take the sweater off
yeah
or something that's medium weight
and especially up here we get the you know we get winters and it's really cold and sometimes in the classrooms it's really cold too
right
yeah
so sometimes you just leave your jackets on all the time
gosh
you know so
yeah it's probably pays pays for you to leave something there do you do you do that
um not that often because a lot of things get stolen
really
oh great
so it's mostly what you wear into work you know wear a short sleeve shirt or a short sleeve blouse
yeah
and a sweater if you're wearing slacks and if you're wearing a over the dress you wear a sweater you know a cardigan or something over the dress
and um you know bring your jacket you can just carry it around with you
yeah
you can wear socks to work there
yes we can and
yeah our teachers can't do that yet
um-hum
well we have a really big high school so it's you know it gets very uncomfortable on hills
uh-huh
most the teachers have taking to wearing uh track shoes
oh the nurses have too that's interesting a lot of them are wearing Reebok's now because most of them the prefer the pants to the dresses
you know sneakers and
uh-huh
and with the scrubs too you know which is just you know scrubs are like what they wear in the O R and i
right
they just wear Reebok's it's really comfortable i haven't done it yet
no
but it's probably coming because we're all going into scrubs right now it depends on the area where you work
they're great
right
but soon the whole area is going into scrubs and so um-hum
oh really
so probably i'll go ahead and break down and
you know i guess i guess from the school this is just not professional you know so i'm kind of a hold out
oh that happens a lot i know my aunt was director she just retired was director of nurses at the hospital up here
yeah
and she always wore a cap and
oh
oh yeah she was like a real hold out
oh boy
and then finally she took that off and that was like big concession on her part
oh
and then she went to her hospital you know her uniform
and she always wore her you know uniform shoes never wore sneakers
yeah yeah
she absolutely refused
yeah and i still do that and they're very expensive they are comfortable though i i don't know i
yeah that's what she was saying
one thing i've noticed that's come back here are clogs
really
yeah they started to make a come back you see them in the stores more and more and i didn't think i'd ever see those again
oh i know it well in California they have these oh gosh i can't think of the name of them
they have a name they come from Italy and they're cork
uh-huh
and they have like two straps on top like a sandal and they form to fit your feet
oh neat
they're soft and after you wear them a day then they only fit your feet
oh that sounds great
and they're wearing those and i've seen a little bit of it in the stores here now
really
but i don't know being up there if you'll see too much they wouldn't be very practical except in the summer time
um-hum
but um yeah that's the new thing and it's sort of on that style you know except that it's open like a sandal
right a lot of us during the winter would wear boots and then peel them off and carry our shoes
yeah yeah yeah
you know or just wear the shoes in and hope for the best
yeah really
hum things have plowed pretty well
i'm not used to that anymore i came down here from New York but
oh really
yes i remember boots and things like that but not anymore
uh-huh yeah my parents just came up from Florida and they had to get rid of all their a lot of their summer summer clothes
yeah
and they say my gosh one minute it's eighty and the next minute it's you know sixty and they're freezing and they said oh what and they say wait a minute we had a mild winter this year
really really
oh oh wait till next year uh
well hopefully we seem to be running on mild winters lately
they weather's changing all over the country
yeah we're getting a lot more rain and ice than we are snow
hum
and uh that makes it difficult on as far as clothing goes because you don't know what to put on your feet
yeah oh yeah
yeah
yeah i don't think anyone in Texas owns
