Although I was able to identify the poorer kids because their white dress shirts are not as crisply white as mine (I have half a dozen new shirts each year. They probably only had two or three.)
It was so nice to not worry about what to wear (except to make sure I'm wearing the right-colored ties and skirts on the right days). Saturday afternoons my cousin and I would give ourselves manicures and wear pretty clothes for that day and Sunday. With matching jewelry, shoes/sandals, handbags/backpacks, etc.
Once I moved to the U.S. for college, I quickly lost all motivations to wear pretty clothes. Because I have to make clothes decision every. single. day. (Plus people are really sloppy/laid back about their appearance in this particular city.)
