Daphne Well you dont have to think what to wear. You are sure that you always wear appropriate clothes. You can try both and compare which one do you prefer.
carg In general. But even strict uniform has advantages for example during cold weather you exactly know what to wear and you don t have to think if it match uniform.
Daphne That's a pretty big assumption yes, one that's wrong. I'm not here for confirmation or anything. That being said, i don't mind giving some of that info if it helps.
OK, since you asked what we think, I decided to take you up on it. My idea was based on that you selected thighbands, and the shortest possible chain too, after asking about it here. But since my assumption is wrong, I was thinking that we might be able to help you if you give us a list of pro's and con's for you for both options: that would give us an idea what is important to you in the choice, and we can perhaps tell you what we think of them, and come up with more.
Lea you exactly know what to wear
Yes, that is of course the standard advantage of uniforms: no need to choose, and apart from that more equality between rich and poor kids (visually).
In what way is the cold weather relevant? Do you find it harder to pick, and match, a winter outfit than a summer outfit (if not in uniform)?

I've recently gotten a longer chain actually, to 6cm now as for the options
Blouse + gymslip + tie + knee socks
+can choose what i want to wear over the gymslip
+not as expensive as the other option
-not as many layers
-not as formal as i desire
Uniform with blazer and underwear
+full uniform that i cannot escape from
+proper formal wear
+will be warm enough for all seasons so i don't have to change much at all
-Expensive
-might be a bit dull
Thanks. Yes, I guess both options are not that cheap (looking at the prices from albertprendergast), but of course blazers are a lot extra. Now, I'm quite unfamiliar with school uniforms (I've never seen them in the Netherlands, except for at a British School), so this might be something that is obvious to others, but what is the difference between the full uniform and the first option with an added blazer? If there is not that much difference, can't you just get one or two sets with blazer, and the rest without, so that you can only use the blazer for colder / more formal occasions?
I'm not sure why you'd say the full uniform is dull - I think it will draw plenty of attention. It looks even more modest though.
So you have decided it will be a gymslip, and not a skirt then with the first option? Because it is less sexy?
Personally I liked the pinafore the girl wore in the first few episodes of 'His Dark Materials'; with the split skirt she can run/climb/.. without the risk of exposing herself. Of course, esp. with a blazer on top, it will take more effort in the bathroom. But I don't know if there are gymslips available with a split skirt. Don't see them at albertprendergast at least.)
Daphne full uniform that i cannot escape from
Do you mean that you can't escape from it mentally, since it is so formal and constantly present? Or are you actually considering adapting it so that you need help in taking it off? (In that case I would advise against a split skirt 
)
Lea Yes I do.
it's a pity that your parents still insist on it, despite the chastity bra 
still it's difficult, a school uniform that looks sexy on one person can look ugly on another person. what suits you always depends on how well it suits your type otherwise, that makes general suggestions difficult
carg and apart from that more equality between rich and poor kids (visually).
But the diamond necklace can speak a different language 
carg gymslips available with a split skirt
I was focusing on school uniforms, and then completely forgot that it has to work with thighbands, so a split skirt is probably not a valuable suggestion (unless it has a very low crotch). 
Yes, that was why I wrote more equality - it will never be total; even if jewelry is banned, it might be make-up, or hairdo - I'm sure there are people who will always look for some way to distinguish themselves, and show off their riches.
Lea I mean it is one of school uniform rules.
ah ok, i was already wondering because it's one of the main tricks i use to mask the noise of my equipment
carg I'm sure there are people who will always look for some way to distinguish themselves, and show off their riches.
that's true, although i generally don't think even school uniforms are bad, at least this prevents discussions about too sexy clothes in summer.
