im a freshman going into catholic highschool. we normally have to wear uniforms, but we have orientation on sept 1 and we can wear our own clothes. they said they have to be "dressy/casual" yet approriate, like no skin showing and whatnot. does dressy/casual mean that you should wear nice pants, or can you wear jeans? and im into REALLY standing out, i like wearing stripes, polka dots, bold bright colors, jewelry, bows... what do you think i should wear on that day... without being "inappropriate"?
the_haha_boat answered Thursday August 19 2004, 12:19 am: you can wear jeans and a polka-dotted Tshirt if you want. Casual means every day clothes but dont go there wearing a marilyn manson shirt all chopped up into a belly shirt or something. That'd be odd.

If you wear a skirt, i'd assume it would have to be knee length. Wear a nice, flattering top. If you wear the black or khaki pants, go strips or polka dots. You can wear jewlery, juss dont wear a lot of something thats gaudy. Uniforms are awesome though, they are flattering on every body shape, and u wont have to worry about buying clothes and ur popularity status depending on your clothes. I wish we had uniforms at my school. Good Lucky at your new school!

GC_rox_my_sox answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 10:07 pm: Dressy/casual basically means comb your hair and don't wear pajamas. A nice pair of jeans without holes and a top that covers everything is fine. Bright colors and jewelry should be fine too, just don't overdo it since it is a catholic school.
