Haha, you were always a character Kristine! I love the dress and blazer, not sure about the one sock… 😜

Ah, I longed for school uniforms at one point in my junior high career...

Again you have made my day!! Brought back lots of memories of my school days and my children's fashion senses while attending school; elementary and high school. See below the reply from Kristine Weese!!!

Hilarious. When I was a teen I applied for jobs at both Dalmy's and Scuby Furs here in Victoria wearing a thin, cotton, below-the-knee, beltless East Indian patterned dress (and really, those are just the two places I remember). UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT.

Nice article! I can totally relate to your fashion sense as a young one. My favourite pants in Grade 3 were pink polyester and, after the elastic waistband wore out, I tied a green knit belt around them that was from a dress. EGAD!!

Omg, I love the flower power/blazer/single sock combo!! This W & S reminds me of the black and white plaid skirt/yellow crochet top & cap my Mom had me wear to family gatherings - all polyester, equally itchy, and yes, like you said, oh so flammable 😬 Thank you for sharing your stories Kristine, love them!!
