Mary Phillips Dress Code .

I was asked for my personal opinion about the dress code here at Mary Phillips. The dress code here is okay, but it leaves me feeling as if it’s a good thing and a bad thing. I like to be my own person and dress according to my mood in the morning. But I also feel like it’s a good thing because it helps others actually focus on their education and any other things I the school that doesn't matter. Early mornings rushing is such a hassle and another reason I honestly like dress code.

     My first reason to not liking the dress code is because I like to dress the way I want to be looked at or as other people would say represent. The clothes I put on is based on my mood in the mornings. I express myself through my clothing, because that’s the first thing people look at. So by me not being able to just wear what I want is unusual. I’m a shy person so that means here I have to speak and interact with others, even when I don’t want to.

    Going to school everyone looks the same except of the shoes they are wearing. This is my second reason for liking the dress code. It’s already bad enough that we have to wear plain colors for t-shirts and khakis for pants. I’m glad they didn't restrict just any kind of shoes because that would've definitely been much harder for me. But soon we get to have dress down Monday’s.

      Last but not least reason number 3. I feel like these khakis could be replaced with navy blue bottoms. For me being a girl it’s much complicated to find my size anywhere I choose to shop. The male gender wear khaki color anything more than girls I think, so it’s fine with them. Also the way they fit too, is a big problem for girls because if we aren't comfortable we  are not going to wear it.

      My thoughts about dress code are still mixed. But I’m starting to ease my way to liking it as the days go by so smoothly. I no longer come home to a messy room from myself destroying it in the mornings. I would like to wear my “normal “clothes during the week but instead I just wait for the weekends to come. I guess for progress I’ll have to get attached to the UN normal things in life.
