This morning, she came into my room already dressed for school. Her "undershirt" was a polo, so she was wearing a pink polo under her white uniform polo. She had also thrown on her denim skirt (with attached shorts underneath). When it came time to style her hair, she insisted on one piggle on top of her head and two barrettes as well.
I wish I had gotten a picture because I'm pretty sure I wore that exact outfit to school circa 1985...except that the collars on my polos were popped. Don't think I didn't consider suckering E into popping hers just for fun.

I have to wear a polo while I work the booth at the conference next week, and am thinking the popped collar is just the ticket to keeping me from feeling like a uniformed dork.
You might want to slather some deodorant on her next time, because that many layers will cause even the daintiest girl to sweat like a pig!
Heh. I have a drawer full of polos from your company and my current one. I have never, ever worn them, yet they keep on giving them to me!
And tell me about the sweat/smell issue...E insists on wearing her pink mary jane sneakers (aka, her "ballerina shoes") without socks...this morning, she said to me "Mommy, something is stinky."
To which I replied, "Sweetie, the smell is coming from you."
Pop 'em baby, pop 'em. Did she have any argyle knee socks to go with, or jellies, or rubber bracelets....ooooo, what about friendship pins, dude I LOVE me some eighties fashion!!!
We are a family of popped collars. As a matter of fact all three girls were popped on our trip to DW, Sean had to pop his too, just to fit in (at home, of course).
thanks for the flashback and SMILE.
needed it this morning.
Miz.
This reminded me of my own childhood. My mother actually let me got to elementary school (like first or second grade) in a long t-shirt (like one of my dad's company softball team shirts etc.) CINCHED with a belt to make it into a "dress." And jelly shoes. But I thought I looked H-O-T.
