It was dark in the room, just the light from the landing as I stood before the dressing-table mirror looking at my reflection.
"Bottle - Green" was the colour of my uniform. I never forgot that colour description because I'd asked my Mother to repeat it so many times while we'd been shopping for it. (each time I would imagine the background history for it - Bottles = Green, vice/versa?).
I was so excited and nervous, even I could see it in my face.
I had a fringe, which was straight - I tilted my head to one side to check it.
Grinned at myself and pulled my brand new 'bottle green cardi' down (both hands front/middle). I had to 'bob up and down' just to see all of myself in the mirror.
