I remember that when Lady Ali went to school there were no school uniforms. I was angry when the school board began discussing uniforms. I had grown up going to private schools from Kindergarten to High School and hated wearing a uniform every day.� I wanted my daughter to have some freedom and be able to express herself through her clothing.

Now that Peanut is in school all elementary school students wear uniforms. The school board is going to vote next year on uniforms for the higher grades. I’m still not sure how I feel about that. I think it’s OK for children up to the fifth grade to be dressed the same. After that they should have more choice.

I’d even be happier if I could shop for discount clothing that starts at $17.95 or less. Quality clothing at that price will make it easy to shop for back to school clothing. Imagine that on top of those low prices that there are special sales too!

I may even look for clothing for Lady Ali as she just started Grad school. She loves to find bargains and if I can tell her that I got her some cheap clothing that looks great and she’ll be thrilled! There’s even a 10% discount for back to school shopping going on right now. There’s some beautiful pieces too like dress pants and a nice sweater that Lady Ali would look good.
