The school photos were coming up and I was trying to work out how I could get my kids looking their best. Not looking like fashion models, just not with messy hair, old faded uniforms and Vegemite on their faces.
(I was heavily pregnant at the time.)
Among various strategies including making sure there were newish cleanish uniforms available, I decided to put Jessie in black stockings on the day. I was expecting her legs to look a little like this in the photo, only with scrubby white sneakers as they were the only school shoes she owned at the time:
I didn't promise it would be a particularly interesting blog post.

Unorganised photos are always best and that particular one will ALWAYS remind you of being pregnant and one day the mystery of the pink and grey socks will be revealed. It's a lovely picture of a very cute wee girl anyway.
What a cute school uniform! The public schools don't have them here and the private schools uniforms are drab. Hopefully no one will notice her fashion statement but you....
She's so cute that noone except you will look at her feet.
I agree with Hippomanic Jen, the last thing I noticed were here legs. That face is just too pretty to notice anything else. Don't worry, it's a mum's job to notice all the little things no one else will see.
She is adorable, and looks so sweet and innocent in that photo. :)
I can't believe they are allowed to wear sneakers to school, instead of those uncomfortable stiff leather shoes we were forced to wear. Next you'll be telling me that they don't wear itchy grey box-pleat tunics, grey ribbed tights and yellow skivvies in winter. Outrageous! ;)
I love her. If that is her form of rebellion, you are in GREAT shape!!
I feel your pain. One year I was sick on photos day, and Constable Crazy presented the boy in a trashed shirt with bird's nest hair.
Last photos my girl took out all her gorgeous, perfectly-positioned school-coloured hair clips right before the crucial moment, the better to show off her self-haircut fringe.
