I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet...

If you're going through NPC formal recruitment, don't wear a watch.

If you wear a watch, you'll be tempted to sneak a peek at the time. This signals that you're bored and eager for the party to be over.

You don't need a watch. It's the job of the rho chis and rush chairs to keep everything on schedule.

If you feel naked without a watch, get a pretty bracelet and wear it where you'd normally wear your watch. If you MUST have a watch with you (e.g. if you have to be somewhere at a specific time after you're done with parties for the day), shove it in your pocket or hand it to your rho chi.

This rule goes for sisters too, for the same reason. Unless it's your job to signal when to start the skit or when to end the party, don't wear a watch.

Please, please, please, for the love of all that is fashion holy, do not wear hose with open toed shoes or sandals. PLEASE. This is never okay.

I know, they remind me of those old cartoons, where if one of the characters got shaved/plucked/clothes taken away, they'd show them walking around in a barrel with shoulder straps.

Oh, as long as we're on the topic of how overalls don't look good on anyone, does anyone else here hate, revile, despise, and ABHOR tapered-leg pants, ESPECIALLY with that old-lady high-waisted look?

I'm not in NPC but i was just reading this thread out of curiousity and then i got to this one, lol. lol i so much agree. i don't think people should wear overalls unless they are bailing hay or something cause they are so unflattering.

okay..butting out now...

HAHAHAHA MOM PANTS!!! Why anybody still wears those is beyond me. They don't look good on ANYONE.

The worst thing to wear is something extremely low cut or extremely short - some of my sisters definitely saw more than they ever wanted.

Something extremely tight and 2 sizes too small for you. I preffed a girl that was messing with her dress the entire time - drove me crazy.

Hahaha yes.

But you gotta love stirrup pants. :p

I wore those once in a while when I was a kid. :o But that was in the 80's and early 90's, so I hope the Fashion Police will forgive me for that, lol.

That's okay, neither am I (hence my username). I just love a good fashion bashin', lol. You seem really nice, so DON'T butt out, okay?

Or what "fashions" should NEVER have been worn in ANY public setting in the first place, or are more appropriate for middle-aged individuals or expectant mothers than for college-aged girls.

As a shorty, I gotta agree w/ that! I am only 5'0 and it is soooo hard to find cute pants that are the right length-And I cant wear petite sizes, because either the 'butt' or front is way to big and pouchy looking. So my suggestion is get pants hemmed. It might seem like a hassel, but it makes you look much more comfortable and put together.

Also, as a resident of hot humid texas weather, my suggestion is don't wear to much makeup. You know as soon as you walk outside it will start to melt. So go easy on the foundation/powder, or use sweatproof, and waterproof mascara! And super-shiny goopy lips are so unattractive! Easy on the lipstick/gloss!
