Fancy dress Party.
We had an invite to an acquaintances party, it sounded fun so on the phone I said yes. It was only when an invite came through the post that it said Fancy dress on a uniform theme. I shuddered a wardrobe full of outfits and guess what nothing suitable, you could wear your work uniform he said, but that’s boring and its so easy they would say oh Sarah hasn't made an effort I retorted.
Oh he said well then perhaps go as a maid or a nurse, police woman anything like that. Sounds like you have it all planned, I can indulge someone else’s fetish can I. As the party included the teenage children of the family hosting perhaps I was a little over the top he said.
I met the daughter in the road as I went to post some letters, Hello Victoria I said cheerfully all set for the party then, what are you wearing?
Don't know its all a bit ‘pervy’, why can't I wear my normal gear she said. Tell you what we are about the same size and I was thinking the same thing, so why don't we go in each other’s uniforms you do have one don't you I added. Only school she said and it’s so boring. Well why don't you become a pilot and I can do the schoolgirl bit then. She grinned and we agreed it would be a giggle.
We went to her house first, as it was closest. I saw our hostess to be at the front door. Hello she said nice to see you, Looking forward to the weekend, you must have bumped into Victoria on your way over. She's come to see me mum the daughter added in a shrill matter of fact way. I smiled it was obvious mum was being frozen out of the conversation. Let’s go to my room the girl said. Oh what a revelation a teenage girls room, is just as untidy as teenagers were of my generation .it also resembled an electrical store with stereos computers, hairdryers etc crammed in to every spare corner. I'll put some music on she said and a deafening cacophony started. Well at least your mum can't here our plans I added conspiratorially.
Victoria pulled out a school blouse and tie, after much rummaging she produced a skirt, which was extremely short and obviously very tight. Oh the tights are very thick she said and here some shoes pointing to some unbelievably clumpy kickers with platform heels. I slipped of my black boots and tried the shoes, a fit I said. Well lets go to my place and sort out a uniform for you, I normally wear trousers but a knee length black skirt is acceptable if you prefer. Putting the school outfit in a carrier bag we set of for my home a short walk away. Sarah do you want a coffee a voice called out, before I could reply Victoria piped up Mum were going to Sarah's she’s lending me some stuff. I smiled meekly as we went down the stairs and out the door.
Once we got to my place I sorted out a uniform and some epaulettes. Victoria smiled its" wicked she said your ok for an old person". Grief I'm only in my thirties that are not old I added. Sure she said I mean you’re ok not like mum she's boring you always seem to have fun and you’re quite fashionable. She wouldn't be seen dead in my gear. Let’s see you get ready. I grinned and went to the spare room, on with some opaque tights and the blouse. I fastened the tie and tried the skirt. It was a little small so I asked her to fetch me a black skirt from the wardrobe, oh go for the leather one she said mum would freak. Well it seemed to work although apparently the tie was too long. On with the shoes, I have never actually tried anything in this style but they were really comfortable. Victoria insisted on redoing my make up and tied my hair back. We laughed as I seemed to lose a few years and the result was fun so we took some photos of each other, which was a giggle. The party went well and we had a great time studying the motley crew of medics, policemen and women, but surprisingly only one very young female flyer and an aged schoolgirl. Sir thought it was hilarious and quite liked the idea of having the attentions of a schoolgirl so I worry in case he wants me to wear this little number again. Most of all it is interesting to gain the insight into the life of a teenage girl, having missed out first time round so to speak.
