That combination of red, navy and stripes really does put one in mind of 'Anything goes' and the seafaring branch of the armed forces.
It's a funny thing but as a teenager, it was NOT cool to tuck in ANY garments- leaving them hanging out, especially school shirts was the status quo. It has purely been the influence of blogging pals and their immaculate tucking-in skills that reconciled me to it again after all these years. It also served to marginally hide the lack-of-ironing!
Today, I took a gamble with resorting to summery clothes again for school and it paid off as my cardigan was off within 5 minutes of class time!
I started off the day sans headache and within an hour had developed one and it was only later after being in another classroom and I returned to that year 4 classroom that I noticed one of those nasty plugin fragrance things in the class (or it may have been something else but it SMELT of one!). THEY give me a headache. I really loathe them- the nasty artificial smell. I know kids can be smelly sometimes but I would honestly rather put up with '
wet dog wet-playtime stench' than endure one of those things. My Mum made me a room spray purely with spring water and a few essential oils which was good although even that made me a bit fussy! Is it just me or does anyone else react badly to the fragrance-makers

Hope you had a good day.
