I love black and gold jewelry, however I am not wild about that color combo for clothes. I do have one dress that is a black, yellow, and white print that I do wear from time to time. Beyond that I tend to let my jewelry declare my "Theta-ness."

I wear mostly neutrals with the occasional blue or purple, so yes, I do wear my colors every now and then.

I don't really wear a lot of blue and blue, but I usually giggle if I notice I'm wearing the colors of another sorority. Not many of my Kappa shirts are blue and blue, now that I think about it.

AOII is easy since we just have Cardinal. I'm actually wearing it today...with my badge! Anyway, I wear a lot of blue (it's my favorite color), and I've been known to wear ZTA's color combo on a regular basis. If anyone had Navy as a color, I'd be your perp since that's my most frequently worn color.:D

I don't wear a lot of scarlet and olive green together... for obvious reasons (Christmas tree, anyone?). But, i Have started wearing a LOT of scarlet red. Not because of my sorority membership, though- wearing red makes me feel courageous and powerful, which is something I needed a bit more of in my life.

I'm wearing green right now, and I often wear red, those colors flatter me much more than yellow. I think my skin is buff though ;) but I can wear cream no problem.

I have a red, green, yellow sip guard in my nalgene, which is also green. I have an afghan I knit in Alpha Gam colors my cats like to snuggle into. I have a lot of squirrel items, all over the house, and a vase of dried red and buff rose petals my cats are determined to destroy since the flowers are from my former fiance. I kept them for decor, not because they were from him.

I do tend to pick out flowers in both shades - in fact, I picked out a bunch at Trader Joe's yesterday and realized when I got them home that they'd look great at a Pref Party. :)

I wear a lot of lavender. Purples of all shades really. And I like deep reds. I don't wear them together as often unless I find something that really works.

However, like you, I end up buying other things in the color combo without even thinking about it :D

I'm not too big on maroon but purple is definitely the most dominant color in my wardrobe. I love every shade, and have since I was little. I even decided that I wanted to try eggplant and red cabbage as a child because they're purple. Lavender, eggplant, plum, orchid, royal, pinkish-purple, bluish-purple, dusty grayish purple, hot purple, everything. I also like to use shades of purple on my eyes, because they make my green eyes really pop. I know this Ravens fan that tries to tell me that I am a closet Ravens fan because I love purple. I don't wear purple on Sundays in the fall, however. :p

I do have a lavender tank that I wear with a maroon cardigan---trust me, the shades are such that they go---they were on display together at GAP. The maroon is slightly purplish.

I also have a gray cardigan that I pair with different tank tops, including turquoise, and [I supposed you could call it] bordeaux. I am the queen of cardigans and tank tops, LOL. I also enjoy wearing pink and brown together. Green, too!

My bathroom is painted bright turquoise and has silver (and black) accents. I'm sure the Zetas would love it.

I am probably one of the few people that doesn't like blue. Except for a really intense cobalt. Love that. Maybe I would have learned to love it if I joined DG or ADPi, my other pref chapters. :)

And of course, I have LOTS of black and gold!

I used to wear a lot more azure blue than I do now. In fact, I had an azure blue & white dress that I would wear to alumnae functions. I dress more like a Phi Mu, I guess. With that in mind, I found my (azure blue & white) pledge shirt this past weekend!

aephi alum 09-21-2010 10:24 PM

Not really. My wardrobe tends toward black, dark blue, black, purple, black, maroon, black, red, and did I mention black? Green or white makes the occasional appearance, but that's about it.

Leslie Anne 09-21-2010 10:34 PM

I love green and white but I rarely, if ever, wear green. In fact, I can't think of a single green article of clothing in my closet. I do, however, tend to decorate with my sorority colors. Years ago I painted my house white with green shutters and I retiled my kitchen in white and green. I love the combo, just not in clothing.

I wear a lot of purple, but usually with grey or black (my favorite neutrals).

I have one of those Lands' End zip top totes in neutral with purple straps... it has my name embroidered on the side in purple. A Gamma Phi I used to work with called it my "president of sorority row" bag.

I'm with you. It's jewelry for me too. A ring, or a bracelet, or my badge (either as a necklace or actually wearing it on my outfit). Have a darling kite necklace that I wear constantly. Very subtle.

I can't wear yellow or gold. Clashes with my hair color and my skin tone. I'd feel like I was dressed for a costume party if I wore black and gold, honestly.

Although that (black and gold) gives me an idea for a theme for a party... no. On second thought, no.

I wear a decent amount of purple. In fact most of my tank tops/cute fall tops are in purple. However I also loved the color before I joined, so the fact that it was one of Sigma's colors made it that much better.

If I don't wear pink on a given day something's wrong. There is more of it than any other color in my closet (which is color coordinated so EVERYONE notices the huge pink section right away)! It was my favorite color before and remains my favorite color now. There's nothing more feminine and beautiful!

I am also one of those rare people that shies away from blue in any shade (except for jeans).
