But they are comfortable and I like them.

Wear whatever is most comfortable and makes you feel powerful. At DDs school, I imagine the teachers would like to see some clothing that isn't denim skirt, thick tights and uggs.

I am chair of a scohol governing body and regularly turn up to meetings in leggings, though black not purple! Teach your DD the joys o non-conformity now and keep them on Smile

Am taken aback that so many people think what you wear will have significant effect on your meeting in school about your daughter???? Unless I've misunderstood - the meeting is not about you - wear what you are comfortable in and good luck!

I wear purple leggings to school and I'm a teacher :o

I do wear skirts over the top.

(sometimes with a puple skirt with a purple top and purple shoes) I looove purple so you would be immediatly in my good books :o

Me too ll! I usually arrive straight from work in my cycling gear; for school meetings

My mother used to only wear purple. My dad hated it and I had to say something to her as well.

Now she only wears grey.

The lesser of two evils.
