Lol.
Well keep dressing up, you're setting a good example.
Plus it's fun.
I feel the same about school and school functions. I know we are in a tiny, very poor school district...and I know one of the perks of attending a really small school is not having to worry about what you're wearing...we have no cliques. We aren't big enough to have cliques.
But even so, I'm appalled that people will send their kids to school dirty, unbrushed, in wildly inappropriate or ill-fitting clothes....and the same for the school functions.
I bought my kids school uniforms..because I'm not rich, either...and cheap clothes wear out quickly. School uniforms are cheap but they look smart, they wash up well, and they're durable (after all, they're 100 percent polyester!)
My girl always has a couple of dressy dresses for church, and my boy always has vests, slacks, and long-sleeved dress shirts.
And I tell them when they complain, which sometimes they do (though less and less) that their job is to go to school, and you always want to dress appropriately for work...and school.
And don't even get me started on the kids whose pants top is almost below their ass cheeks.
I am a firm believer in school uniforms. It relieves a lot of peer pressure on the kids, esp the poor ones.
I'm with you.
