In The Navy!

I wore bottle green uniform but it's never put me off wearing green.

For over half a century I have been reluctant to wear royal blue which was the colour of my school blazer. And yet, if I do wear it, I find it suits me very well.

We had to wear “ scapulas” over a navy uniform, finished with a shapeless camel coat.
No girl no matter how beautiful could “ rock” this look.
The nuns were very clever, I think most of us graduated as virgins?

I very rarely buy green due to school uniform! We also had to wear bright daffodil yellow shirt-waisters in the summer

My uniform was grey. I love wearing grey but hated my school.

My uniform was bottle green too but I don't think I have ever worn that shade since.

My school uniform was brown, and there is no way on earth I would ever wear it!

My school uniform was bottle green, never wear that colour now. The DDs uniform was horrid brown, yuk. DGS goes to their old school now and the uniform has changed to jade green, lovely and bright. (Love navy blue, always looks smart.)

Green in the Green School. I hate that awful school uniform shade of green. Put me off green. ( hated those green knickers.)

It took me a good few years to wear anything bottle green. It wasn`t the uniform as such that I hated, it was the school itself.

We were a navy blue uniform at school. I wouldn't say it out me off wearing navy though. I had a beautiful summer dress in navy once.

Bottle green - never!!
And you'll never see me in green gingham

Although the rest of the uniform was navy and I do wear navy.

Our school uniform was Maroon and not a colour I would particularly choose to wear now but I wear a lot of Navy in Summer. I have a couple of pairs of Navy Chinos and at least one pair of Pedal pushers which look great with Breton tops or white shirts.
Black basics in Winter and Navy in Summer!

My school uniform was brown, and as a nurse I wore white and navy blue. I've never worn brown since I left school, and rarely wear navy.

My uniform was navy for the first three years, followed by grey and pale blue. I must say I don't wear a lot of navy these days, although I do have navy blue jeggings.
I bought a bright orange jumper on Saturday and am looking forward to wearing it and injecting a bit of colour into a dull winter's day.

Another 'Green Schooler' here !
A couple of weeks ago I did buy a green cardi from WS, surprising myself as I haven't worn that colour for years.

auntieflo..not the Isleworth one with Miss Vine?

My uniform was navy and had a cool, blue striped blouse, so I was not put off at all.
The school of my first teaching post had a bottle green uniform, which looked terrible and has put me off the colour, I rarely wear it.

Loved my school - dark and royal blue blazers. I wear lots of this... love Navy always so smart- navy tights look nice as well not so hard as black and a bit lighter for Spring?

Ohhh yes Lullydully

I had green, then brown,then blue uniforms. Doesn't bother me at all. I wore a lot of brown in the 70s but now find it dull & ageing, but love blue and occasionally wear green.

My school uniform was navy and gold and I have no objection to wearing those colours.
I quite like the idea of wearing a scapular, they do keep your shoulders dry whilst walking in a crocodile.
DD's uniform was an unflattering shade of brown, she has been left school 32 years and still resists brown clothes.

My primary school uniform was bottle green and I didn't wear green for years, not so much because I disliked the association but because my mother used to make all my dresses and cardigans in green so that I could wear them out at school.

Hats! School uniform has put me off hats for life.
