Nicole, at least she gets to wear jeans!! My senior year, my school started the uniform thing. Yep, we had to buy uniforms for just ONE school year! And they were the ugliest khaki pants you've ever seen. And of course the shirts at the uniform store didn't come in petites so it was too long (meaning more tucked in and lots of bulge) and the sleeves were too long.
I felt so frumpy and nasty and horrible in that uniform my freaking SENIOR year. (and I was a few pounds heavier than I am now)
It wasn't til the school year started that I realized that there were a few girls getting away with department store khakis instead of the uniform mandated ones. My mom insisted that I would get in trouble if I bought regular khakis and at this point she'd already paid a lot of money for the ugly ones so I sucked it up and never bought any "cute" pants.
I absolutely HATED it, in case you couldn't tell from my rant.
oh, I also had a ugly black belt
