Back to School, circa 1980

Me, from my personal collection.  I'm not sure when this was taken, but possibly for my 4th grade year?

It's that time again, when the kids are all going back to school.  I don't remember what year this was.  I was inclined to say 3rd grade (1979) but it might be 4th grade (1980).

Sears had some girls clothes that are similar in theme in their Fall 1980 catalog.  I don't think my outfit was from Sears, but might have either been purchased for me by my grandmother, or my mom may have made it.  I don't remember if it was a dress or a pant suit:
