I mean, it's true I'm in no hurry to wear emerald green checks again, but it's also true that there's not a lot of emerald green check clothing available even if I wanted to. So, yes, so much for that theory.
There was one feature of my old school uniform, though, that has scarred me deeply, as I discovered today. Imagine me, putting my feet up to eat a mandarin and flip through a new craft magazine. Imagine me then choking on a mandarin segment when I encountered a page titled WE ♥ PETER PAN COLLARS.
Six years of being strangulated every time I sat down? No, I don't heart Peter Pan collars. I much preferred winter when we wore dress shirts and stripy school ties. I don't care if 'this trend is catching on', magazine, my 'favourite dress' is definitely not 'shouting out for a trimming like this'. I'm going to have nightmares tonight.
