Outfit Advice
 
Just looking for some advice on outfits I want to wear for recruitment.

I want to wear this one for House Tours (Round 1):

I want this one for Philanthropy Night (Round 2):

Something kinda like this (with white polka dots) for Skit Night (Round 3):

Something similar to this (without the ruffles) for Preference (Round 4):

What do you guys think?

Which region of the country are you in?

Pref dress might be a little short...well, a lot short actually.

It might just be me, and my style but the first dress looks like a hippy nightmare. The yellow one is the only one I even like. Sorry, just giving my opinion.

Nobody is going to able to answer this correctly unless you tell us what region you're in!

This. It's like the same dress every night in a different color, with just a slight detail change somewhere on it. I'm not even sure I like the yellow one, but it's great compared to the others. Wow - I'm harsh. Sorry.

Legit question - are you trying to hide your figure? All these look loose and baggy/ frumpy-ish to me.

Judging by what I've seen in stores lately, these are on trend.

simply_stacey 08-12-2012 03:10 AM

I'm in the west.
But the first one is actually really cute. Doesn't look anything like the picture.
And I'm only 5'1" so all the dresses hit my knee or just below.
They're really not as frumpy as they look. I just didn't want anything too tight or restricting. I personally like loose fitting clothes to move around in.

So if your in the west the first day is usually VERY casual, but not knowing your school it might be ok. Shorts are usually what is on the menu out here. I think your Pref dress is a little on the casual side even for the west. The yellow dress almost looks dressier then the pref dress IMO.

Did your Pan give you guidelines or did they post pictures or a booklet? I would follow that and you should be ok.

Well for the Orientation Day where we meet our Rho Gammas I was planning on wearing shorts and a nice-ish top.
This is the top I plan on wearing with some jean shorts and a brown belt:

I guess by the plaid you can kinda tell where in the west I am. Haha.

I wish they had given us some guidelines! That would have made this so much easier. But, alas, we're on our own.

Titchou 08-12-2012 01:10 PM

No...just no. You are going to recruitment not the rodeo..no matter where you are, it's not appropriate unless everyone is supposed to dress western.

That being said, after all the additional info you've given, the first dress isn't a good choice. At 5'1" that long tail in the back is going to look like the hem came out on you. Nope...not that one.

simply_stacey 08-12-2012 01:28 PM

Okay. So scratching the Orientation shirt. Back to the drawing board.
Actually the first dress isn't as tiered as it looks. It's very subtle and the back hits just below the knee while the front is at the knee.
I wish the pictures did all these dresses justice. Because based off these pictures I would not be wearing any of the dresses. Haha.

AXOrushadvisor 08-12-2012 01:30 PM

By first day I mean house tours. Usually girls are in cut offs and rainbows. I would google your school + recruitment and see if any images come up. Depending on where you are it could be super hot and with jeans and a long sleeve shirt you might be a for real hot mess.

This, by far, may be the FUGLIEST thing I have ever seen. Please, please, please do not wear it. And I grew up in the 80's/90's. And I remember them. Plaid can be awesome. But there just aren't words for this. After all these bad clothing choices I'm beginning to think you've either A. Never seen a fashion magazine or B. you are attempting to punk GC.

simply_stacey 08-12-2012 02:20 PM

Dang! Harsh! Haha. It does look pretty nasty in the picture. I wouldn't buy it either if I just saw this. I guess that's why online shopping sucks. Everything is better in person. And, no, I don't normally read fashion magazines. I like to do my own thing. But, after all the negative comments about this top, I will definitely be choosing something else. Maybe a shirt that I have that everyone says makes my green eyes pop? I'm feeling good about that one.
Thanks for the advice so far everyone!
