We didn't have a uniform at my high school, but there was a very strict dress code. Young men must wear dress pants, shirt & tie at all times, jackets were also required but need not be worn during classes. Young ladies were required do wear skirts or dresses, they were only allowed to wear pants between the months of November and March (late fall to early spring here)
I almost forgot, skirts & dresses had to be below the knee. Your uniforms would have been much too short for the nuns to approve. Did I forget to mention the school was run by nuns?
Uniforms are fun :) When I visited Japan, I fell in love with the school uniforms there. I always wished I had to wear them at my school - but perversely, if I had to have worn them, I probably would have hated them!
Hi Phoebe :) IF you ever see this, I think you are amazing and beautiful and perfect already but I just read through your blog and can't help but love you even more! I love Radiohead and The Shins and all the music you listen to, as well as Ellery and all sorts of fashion! I am also a big yogi and nutrition fascinates me, one of my favourite books about that is Integrative Nutrition- if you haven't read it you should! Anyways, I am 16 and trying to figure out what to do with my life, and I think I would love to be an actress. I watched you for ages on H2O and love to see how your career has grown from then! I only hope I could find something I love and be so successful at it one day. You are a lovely person and I wish you the very best. xxx
Every thing I need to know I learnt in Kindy by Robert Fulghum
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
The biggest word of all - LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
Takes me back to my highschool days. Except my uniform was white top and blue skirt.
ReplyDeletebtw, not sure what you friend was doing to her skirt (wedgie removal) but it makes that second picture hil.ar.ious.
