We weren't allowed to wear jeans to schoo...50s? We weren't allowed to wear jeans to school in the '60s! Of course the boys could, but we weren't even allowed to wear slacks. I'm not kidding. We had to wear dresses all the time and the length was standardized. We couldn't wear a long granny dress, which were very popular, nor, until my senior year could we wear very short minis. Just above the knee a few inches was allowed. Now, they did finally relax things a bit when they gave girls "Slacks Day" once a year. Yes, we could wear slacks, but they had to be nice. One day. A year. And lest you think this was in a conservative area, this was in the San Francisco/Bay Area. Hardly a bastion of conservatism.<br /><br />Thank you for the kind recognition. I appreciate it, but I really don't get locked into the loop of nominating people.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-34946576113092915602012-07-19T15:22:34.506-11:002012-07-19T15:22:34.506-11:00My mom said girls weren't allowed to wear jean...My mom said girls weren't allowed to wear jeans to school during the 1950s and only wore them on the weekends.
