Five years at a girls' high school, all wearing the same clobber.
I see people dressed in the same stuff all the time..it's clear they've bought it from Primark or Matalan or the supermarkets...or Marks
When we were teenagers my sister and I would go dancing ( Disco).. every weekend.. and we always wore identical outfits. Whatever was in fashion we'd wear it that weekend.. ...we thought we looked wonderful... we must have looked like Book-Ends..My best friend and co-worker, back in the day, used to clothes-shop together. We bought the same hot-pants outfit .. and wore them on the same day, when she took me to visit her parents & siblings. When we got off the bus, her older brother said "what are you girls wearing?!" We were in our early 20's, and thought we were pretty cool
Make that 11 years for us.. all wearing the same school uniform from infant school until we left Senior school....Navy Blue skirts, Pale blue or white shirts, blue striped tie.. Navy Blue Blazer..
Uniforms don't count - lol!
Patty. About Value Village in Canada. I used to think it was a charity company, that helped to support various local charity organizations. I recently found out that Value Village is a private, for profit US corporation, that is listed on the New York stock exchange. I used to take a lot of things to Value Village here in Toronto. I don't do that any more, instead I donate to the Salvation Army, instead. JIM.
Like you, I make my donations to places other than Value Village now. For a time they said they were donating to charities and then it became clear it was a token amount. They quit the pretence. If I’m in the vicinity, I’ll go in the store. If you’re willing to search you’ll find some items are high end.
Noooo wayyy!
That’s truly shocking. I also thought value Villiage was a Canadian corporation that recycled clothes worn by Canadian people AND that the profits went back into Canadians needing a helping hand. That’s VERY misleading. My husband even thought that the workers there were volunteers. THAT I knew wasn’t true. I shall have to reconsider my shopping choices as well as who I’m donating my things to. 
Let me see, striped blazer, two tone spectator shoes, white, spearpoint collared shirt, fedora hat, Argyle socks and blue & gold neck tie. It's amazing what you can buy in Primark and Matalan.
"Mosquito bites." It took a while for the penny to drop, as we Brits say, when we don't understand the metaphor. Mosquito bites, cracked me up.
I had to change my emoticon response after @horseless carriage twigged me to what you were saying. Totally understand it now.
Oh yes! Took me a moment too.
That must have been hilarious.
