I had to wear saddle oxfords shoes when I was in high school as part of our school uniform. I went to a Catholic
school and our uniform was a long sleeved white blouse with french cuffs& cuff links and a below the knee length
blue and white(tiny print) houndstooth check skirt with a
kick pleat in the back. When I became a Junior, I could wear a dark grey skirt rather than the above mentioned skirt. To this day I refuse to wear anything with houndstooth check.!!!
