Does Your Child Wear Uniforms or Free Dress to School?

Nuns and priests may have been onto something when they required their pupils to wear uniforms to school.

Nuns and priests may have been onto something when they required their pupils to wear uniforms to school. Dress codes used to be reserved for private schools, but more public schools are adopting uniforms to help keep the focus on learning while leveling socioeconomic playing fields. Children will be less concerned with designer jeans and may be more likely to engage in conversations with classmates they might otherwise snub. It's nice for parents, too. A child's wardrobe becomes simpler and getting dressed in the morning is a no-brainer. Still, not every school has made the switch to khakis and polos. What is your child's dress code?

Grey Goose Cocktail Dress: Love It or Hate It?

Leave it to premium spirit Grey Goose to have a fabulously designed cocktail dress as a uniform.

Leave it to premium spirit Grey Goose to have a fabulously designed cocktail dress as a uniform. Inspired by the vodka bottle, the dress was created by fashion designer Rachel Roy. Since Grey Goose is her official sponsor, the cocktail dresses, which are to be worn by the brand's spokesmodels at publicity events, will debut at her fashion show in September. When compared to other food brand uniforms, I think these dresses are sleek and chic. How about you?

Former Real Worlder-turned-blogging mama of five Rachel Campos-Duffy instituted a uniform policy for her three school-aged offspring, even though their classrooms don't require them.

Former Real Worlder-turned-blogging mama of five Rachel Campos-Duffy instituted a uniform policy for her three school-aged offspring, even though their classrooms don't require them. In a recent post on Parent Dish, she explained that the economical decision costs about $80 per child annually and excuses her from back to school shopping. She said:

I relieved myself of this torture several years ago when my husband and I decided that a school uniform was the easiest and most affordable way for our growing family to deal with hectic mornings, rising costs, and trends in inappropriate fashion — especially for girls.
