DJ, I wore uniforms too, and they were hideous sateen things in navy; some variants would have a sailor collar. The only good thing about them was, you could wipe your fountain pen (yes, we used fountain pens) on your sleeve and it wouldn’t show. We had to wear a school emblem and number on the uniform sleeve, so any adult caching us doing something “inappropriate” outside school. I.e. kissing, drinking, smoking and other good things would know where to report on us. Really, we didn’t have time or energy to get into bullying each other, we had to be united to escape the constant Big Brother attention. And that’s why I had a great time at my class reunion.

Sister Wolf, I don’t know the answer, but I tend to be on the side of not buying that particular dress.

Please, PLEASE say that you will still be looking for pleated tartan schoolgirl skirts when you’re 80. (And checking labels, of course.)

I will read this thread later because I’ve been thinking about this topic lately. I am an animal lover & would do anything for the animals, but whenit comes to people I’m less compassionate. But then I was thinking about child labor. Ultimately, I believe the system has to collapse before it can be rebuilt, fairly. But I’m falling asleep as I write this…Thank you, Sister Wolf & her intelligent audience. (Any my catholic uniform was brown & white plaid! With a mid-calf length skirt. This was in the 80’s. No cuteness to be found.)

I wore uniforms for 12 years, although for seven wore very snappy sailor collar middy blouses! Saddle oxfords, navy blue and white. Haven’t worn navy since (100 years ago..) keep looking sister…go to the nearest catholic thrift store, all you want!!

I agree with your decision and anyone who supports it.

Further questions:

Can I buy flattering basics at American Apparel, or should I continue boycotting AA because of the hideous troll monster that is Dov Charney?

Further awkwardness- Shutting my mouth around friends who manage American Apparel clothing stores.

Am I a dickhead? This is a question I’ve asked myself for a few years now. If not- how do I navigate conversation with hardworking retail slave friends?
