School Story:
Remember all the uproar over skirt length and culottes? I remember when most of the girls rebelled and wore culottes one day and we all got sent home to change. I also remember hemming my skirts to reach my wrists, which somehow, was considered an "acceptable" norm. One day, one of the girls came to school in a maxi skirt, well below the knees, and I believe she was called to task for creating a distraction! (disclaimer: forgive me if my memories have been clouded by the passing years!)
