Today, thanks to the tax free holiday and the fact that public schools start in a week, we went back to school shopping. Well, in our case, it was really "to school" shopping, as Resli will just be starting kindergarten this year. Thanks to the newly adopted school uniform policy (which is really just a dress code but they insist on calling it a uniform), Resli of the plaids and flowers and stripes found herself in need of quite a different wardrobe. Not to mention the outrageous list of supplies she needs to show up with on the first day of school.
So off we went. It was a challenge to find uniform-acceptable things to fit her relatively tall and exceedingly slender frame. Here are some of the options.
Close-toed shoes are a must too, no more crocs and flip flops.
But wait, doesn't it seem like just yesterday we were shopping in THIS section of the store?
And now our baby's headed off to kindergarten... >>snif!<<

Did you at least get her some really colorful socks and matching hair accessories?? The girl has to express herself somehow! :-D
Colorful socks and four or five brightly (yet solidly) colored "skorts."
Resli could wear a burlap sack and express herself quite well. Girl's got self-confidence to spare.
She looks like a model student. I especially respect that navy dress. I'm in the market for something similar.
But also...
What's the deal with that supply list? Why does the school's policy on Clorox pivot in fourth grade?
You are a grown-up girl, Resli. I love the tqn skirt and the black top. Very nice!!!! GrandadDick
You look fantastic, Resli! You'll be a huge hit on your first day of school. I especially like the navy dress and the pleated skirt. I'd like to see the shoes you ended up with. Yeah, and what's UP with that supply list?!
The khaki skirt(skort) and the navy dress are, I believe, supposed to be minis. On Resli they achieve a more modest length. Here's hoping they wear long enough for her to grow into them.
