School Uniform Vest

I'm going to a Catholic school that requires uniforms. Uniforms are a bit expensive so I'm wondering if wearing just self bought plain shirts/golf shirts are a good alternative to the expensive ones? I've got a couple of the real uniform shirts, but I want to see if I can use my own so I don't have to buy more.

Just as long as the shirts are the same. I know it's expensive. Just make sure you can't tell the difference. pants/skirt ( i don't know if your male of female) if your school shirts have the school logo on it you might want to buy that but if not. there's plenty of golf shirts now. the problem is if your wearing a vest when it gets hot teachers may allow you to take off the vest so just make sure the shirts are exactly the same. Basically don't let the nuns/sister tell the difference they will go crazy of a mismatched uniform. Catholic schools are normal very strict about uniform. example no painted nails no facial hair girls may only have a pair of earrings ( no hoops) .... they give you a whole rule book on it.

I'm still not sure which school I'll be attending in August, but basically in all of Puerto Rico's high schools the uniform is:
a plaid skirt
a yellow or white polo
navy blue vest
white socks
black school shoes that look like mary janes.

Since my next school MIGHT be a good public school their dress code is not very strict, so what could i do stand out in a sea of plaid and navy blue?

{{i love personalizing}}

wear cute accessories, like earrings, bracelets, necklaces.....a bright bag. you could wear a little scarf, thats trendy, or a headband..u could even decorate ur clothes, like ur vest would be easy to "personalize"

My parents sent me to a private school after we married. I now have to wear a white blouse with a green vest, plaid skirt and either blue, green or white tights or knee socks and simple black flats.

What does your uniform look like? Do you like it? What would you change?

i love my uniform i like it so much better then picking out clothes every morning and its not even ugly. its a navy blue plaid skirt, navy knee socks. and you have a choice of polo long sleeve polo white or light blue blouse with a sweater. and you can wear any black shoes you want.

How can I customize this uniform without getting in trouble?

This is the school uniform list:

SCHOOL UNIFORMS


We believe that the dress code is an important component in promoting and teaching many characteristics that we feel are essential such as responsibility, accountability, attention to detail, and the importance of a neat and well-groomed appearance. There are guidelines that govern dress and grooming to ensure a relatively consistent appearance. Our uniform also serves as a reminder that each of our students is a part of something special and unique, something that is greater than they are. Thus there are guidelines that govern dress and grooming to ensure a consistency of appearance. (I hate our principal for this. Ha)

Penalties for Dress Code Violations

Teachers are to send students to the Counselors Office if clothes are in question. Any student not dressed within the policy code will have his or her parents contacted. Repeated violations of dress code policy may result in the following:
1. The parent may bring the student appropriate clothing (the student will remain unexcused out of class until the appropriate attire is brought to the school). *so un-cool*
2. The student may purchase acceptable clothing in the school store if it is available (parents will be billed for the purchase).
3. The student will serve in-school suspension. Continued violations of school dress code policy may result in suspension or expulsion. *WTF?!*



This sucks. I NEED REAL CLOTHES! In addition, I thought this school supported freedom to Americans and non conformity? I guess not…

I agree Abby <3, that isn't right! Emo kids are mad because they don't have their earrings where they want, and can't wear nail polish.

But I think our school just trys to make us look representable, because we get vistors...alot. Haha.

GEEZ!! It's like they are trying to make you be what they want you to be. That isn't right!

Anyways, try wearing cute nail polish, cute earrings, and shoes. And maybe a necklace and rings. And a scarf, if they allow that.

I love pleated kilt-like skirts with t-shirts and vests and thigh high socks. Its usually not completely school uniform imitated, but I pick out stuff I like from it. How old is too old to wear this type of clothing? views?
Not really about looking innocent, its just a cool look.
Also I look quite young (I am young still, I just passed 20), but I'm quite petite so I might look a little bit younger than I am. I was thinking that possibly when i reach 25 I'll switch it out with pencil skirts and stuff, does that seem like a reasonable age?

Depends, a lot of people consider this fetish wear after you are out of the school age group, so consider the type of attention that you are getting.
I've seen 50 year olds dress this way.
If you mean at what age it stops being innocent? When you finish school, it's no longer innocent. I think past the age of 25 it's for the bedroom and fetish clubs. However, in the end if that's what you like to wear, who cares what other people think in the end.
