I'm a not-so-young girl, and I'd wear pijama bottoms all the time if I thought I could get away with it. I've been wearing them since I was in university (early 90s) They look nicer (IMHO) than sweats and are just as if not more comfortable. Slippers, well they are not very practical since the soles are usually not waterproof, I'll stick with my birks thank you.

I teach four days a week and the clothes that I always interchange are two pairs of dress pants cut to wear with flat shoes, three solid color knee-length skirts from American Apparel (green, blue and fuschia), two lightweight sleeveless turtlenecks (grey and red) two corduroy blazers from H&M (grey and black, and I don't put them on until the second I step in the classroom) and about a dozen cotton tank tops from Old Navy, H&M, etc. that I wear under the blazers. So it's either color on top or color on the bottom. I wear flip flops all the time, but they are of the nicer variety. I figure that since nobody told me about the dress code before I came, they can't expect me to adhere to it. The dress code, by the way, is no sandals or jeans. I see teachers wearing sandals ALL THE TIME (though I don't see them wearing flip-flops often), and lots of teachers wear jeans too. Students, however, will be sent home for wearing sandals! Why why why?

I just printed off your wonderfully detailed post, Jetgirly. I hadn't even thought about bringing tank tops for something light and colorful at those times when a blazer is needed, but it's not really blazer weather.
