Fall Plaids...

# 78 of 365.

What is it about plaids that means fall? I can remember my back to school wardrobe as a young girl filled with plaid items. Not only clothes but lunch boxes too. So whenever I see plaid in the stores my mind always goes back to those memories.

I remember being so excited to wear my new fall plaids that it didn't matter if it was 90 degrees that first week of school, by God I was wearing my new plaid dress!

Other things I remember about the first days of school were:
  • the smell of new crayons
  • being nervous about meeting new friends
  • riding the school bus
  • meeting at the bus stop
  • to buy or pack?
  • picking out the coolest lunchbox with matching thermos (glass lined as I recall and not good)
  • covering textbooks with brown grocery bags
  • writing all over the covered textbooks
  • recess

What are your best memories of those first days of school?

  1. The items on your list ring true for me too and I had at least one plaid dress and I still have it.
