A little bit of flash - Advice
All based on my own personal experience...
Primary school dress code (females).
Don’t be tempted to buy expensive items to wear at school.
Buy from Primani or a charity shop, so you won’t get upset at the
glue/paint/snot/pigeon poo that finds its way onto your clothing and never,
ever comes off.
Wear what you want to wear, even if it’s a bit different to
what is currently fashionable. Better to blaze a trail than follow the herd.
(Don’t worry that the Year 6 girls don’t agree with your choices – you can get
your own back when they arrive, completely overdressed, for the school disco).
Always check the back view of your reflection. You might be
able to ignore it, but the kids will tell everyone about your horrendous VPL.
Do remember to wear several layers, as classrooms are either
red hot and stuffy or freezing. The upside is that when you look like the
Michelin woman, children just bounce off when they run into you on the
playground.
Choose shoes carefully. The one day you decide to wear heels
will be the day after rain, when the teacher takes the class out onto the field
for an inventive lesson in spelling.
Don’t wear anything the same colour as the school uniform if
you are vertically challenged. It’s not good for morale to be told off by a
dinner lady who has mistaken you for a pupil.
