Sometimes I wish the school dress code was back in force...
Dress to learn, not to play.
I also grew up in the age where it was dresses or skirts and blouses for girls and button shirts and pants for boys...all through to high school....and this was in Hawaii! Couldn't even wear the Muu muuu except on May Day. Times have cure changes.
