I too am glad to see the change coming.  And for once, I'm ahead of the curve.  I started out last week by updating my wardrobe with 2 new pant suits.  Then got hubby to splurge on me a very good power suit (long skirt/jacket).  In the past couple of weeks, I've found myself wanting to wear suits instead of the (for me) more casual slacks and dress shirt or summer dress that have become my normal mode of dress.  And I'm feeling more put-together and in control.  I think part of it is that now I'm almost dressing better than my supervisor, and since she's trying to make me look bad, I need to use all the tools at my disposal, to include dress.

Our schools here have almost all gone to uniforms of some sort or another.  The school right next door requires the students to wear red shirts without printing on them, and tan or black slacks/long shorts.  It's really interesting to hear the younger kids not complaining about this, as they're growing up used to it, and even a lot of the high school kids at schools that have only been doing these uniforms for the last couple of years are coming to appreciate it.  I don't know how I would have felt as a kid and faced with this change, but then I didn't really push the limit on styles even then.  I say that whatever makes it a safer place for the kids as far as clothing, we do it.
