Yes, it is that time of year when mom’s and dad’s everywhere are looking at the “back to school” sales ads, figuring out who has crayons on sale and which child (actually) needs a new backpack. I didn’t go to Catholic school, so growing up, I was somewhat jealous of those who didn’t have to think about what to wear to school each day. While there are some definite advantages, there are also some distinct disadvantages to the uniform:
Pros
Don’t have to think about what to wear
The little kids are so darn CUTE!
Even the big kids are pretty cool
Everyone is pretty much the same
Fun days with themes
-purple Friday
-spirit week
-tie day
-crazy hat day
-this was ‘America Monday’, not sure how this is America but….
Cons
While there are some great pros, there are also some cons from the Catholic uniform
What to wear when the uniform is dirty
-sweaty boys
-sweaty girls
Back to school shopping for uniforms, look at the options!
Ten’s of matches to choose from….
And two khaki color options! Wow!!!
And the shirt option for boys is amazing
Knee-highs: Too warm in the summer, not warm enough in the winter!
Hard to find child in group pictures
When wearing a uniform makes you feel a little like this…
A little flair is ok, right?
-love the pink boots
-one of these girls is not like the other
-Target showing off some pink flair
-fun handbags are the way to go!
Nope, these are NOT going to pass the finger tip test
What not to wear…
What you wish you could wear
At least you get to wear what you want after school!
Unless you have soccer practice…
