Shrugging Off The Uniform

This week I will be starting my last year of high school. At the school I attend, and a lot of other schools around New Zealand, Year 13 students are not required to wear uniform. While I like the concept of wearing a uniform (the ease, the long term money savings and equality), I am a unique person and I like to express myself so wearing a uniform is, in practise, not my thing.

Needless to say I'm excited about wearing my own clothes every day. After 12 years of wearing a uniform almost every day I'm finally allowed to wear what I want. But... What to wear?? These days I look into my wardrobe and despair that I have nothing to wear. On that note, I think I should make some style resolutions...lest I end up wearing jeans every day (Oh the horror!)

1. Watch the weather forecast...
And dress appropriately for the weather. I'd rather not end up sweating/freezing all day due to poor clothing choices.

2. Plan my outfit the night before...
And make sure everything is clean, I have shoes that go with what I'm wearing and choose accesories.

3. Make sure my clothes comply with the dress code...
That is, nothing too short, nothing strapless or too cleavage-y etc. etc.

4. Buy one piece of expensive clothing per month...
I'm sick of buying something cheap from glassons/jay jays etc. only to have it fall apart/pile/tear the first time I was it.

5. Maintain impeccable grooming...
This is also one of my New Year's Resolutions but I thought I'd put it in here to remind myself. Shave legs, keep nails neat and polished (including toenails), keep my hair clean and maintained.

6. Hold my head up high...
I feel great in what I'm wearing... I don't care if it's not the latest pair of skinny jeans from Just Jeans. So there.

Wish me luck!
Any advice?

Perhaps They're Not All Stupid

Further to my post "Boys are Stupid", I have decided to revise my statement. Ahem. " Not ALL Boys are Stupid."

Finally, I have a boyfriend. I am happy. I know I'm meant to be happy whether or not I have a boyfriend, I should be happy and confident on my own as an intelligent young woman blah blah blah blah. Bollocks. I am a relationship girl and that's just how it is.

I go back to school on Wednesday. Finally! I'm starting 7th form (final year of high school). Which means I don't have to wear uniform, I can leave the school grounds, I have free periods and get to use the common room. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was the short girl in the really long skirt looking up to the big scary 7th formers. Odd.

Sorry for the pathetic post, I felt the need to blog but lack enthusiasm.
