Not Dior
Admit it, when you think of the Brits, the very first thing that comes to your mind is probably several galaxies away from Miss Universe and fashion shots. But what’s the second thing?
When I told one of my friends that we were moving to England, her first thought was, “School uniforms!!!” She had me baffled. I was still thinking of pink mohawks and crooked teeth.
But as it turns out, she was right. School uniforms are big here, in fact, too big and invariably uninspiringly black, blue, grey or green.
Like oversized shoe-boxes, they encase the little bodies with a pair of gangly legs dangling from underneath them, like with one of those ridiculous bookshelf cows that were popular a couple of years ago.
It’s pitiful...well, definitely nothing like the Royal Guard, anyway.

Well the uniforms in Costa Rica keep getting tighter and shorter. One of the schools in Puriscal has these pleated miniskirts with overall straps and fitted little polo shirts. Pair that with some white knee socks and high heels and just imagine how many boys are concentrating on the lecture.
