I remember starting school, being the 3rd daughter of a poor family, I tended to get LOTS of hand-me-downs, but I did get one new pair of jeans each year and I loved them. It didn't matter to me that they were only JC Penney Plain Pockets and not Levi's or Wrangler's or even Vidal Sassoon (remember those????), only that they were brand new, just mine, nobody had worn them before. It is probably one of the only nice childhood memories that I have, I don't really remember much of growing up, just bits and pieces and this is something I cherish.

What about you, what do you remember about school shopping?
