As usual we've been avoiding work and just been comparing notes on what we had to wear for high school and whether we were rebels or swots in how it was worn and whether we kept to the rules or not. It started because one of the other women in the office was bemoaning her daughter and the fact that although she sends her to school looking really smart, she wondered how long it lasts, because although she comes home looking smart, she wonders whether she isn't so smart at school.
My uniform was predominantly navy blue; straight skirt, v neck jumper, white shirt, blue tie with school crests, socks or tights and black shoes.
I was generally a bit of a swot in how I wore it in the first year - we weren't allowed big fat knots in our ties or to have out top buttons undone and I didn't want to get into trouble. I did soon realise though that it was possible to have the shirt untucked under the jumper and got away with it if it didn't show. I also started to leave the top button unfastened and hide it with the tie and got away with that too most times, then I got braver and my friends and I used to see how far down we could have our ties before we got told off. I think by the end we used to have the tie knot below the v of the jumper!
How about the rest of you?
