who, like me, wore/had on a blue tunic and were carrying paper folders

My comment:

I think "tunica" just refers to part of what they wore, a tunic-style blouse or short blazer type jacket.

When I say "paper folders," I am referring to those folders, usually of bright colors, that students use for carrying around and organizing their loose leaf papers.

She is saying that her uniform is a blue robe, and I don't know of any better way to call the school-book bag (formerly leather and hanging from one shoulder).

My references:

I hope it helps. Good luck.
