“Back-to-School Clothes Shopping” (Pick a Card Series)
August 26, 2023
I remember shopping for back-to-school clothes a couple of weeks before the start of a new school year. While uniforms were the standard dress code for my elementary and high school years, students were permitted to wear “regular” clothes during the first two weeks of school until the weather cooled and wearing uniforms would be more temperature comfortable. Wearing a uniform eliminated the pressure of impressing others and wearing the latest fashion trends while attempting to dazzle my classmates with my clothes.
