In this thread, we admire cute outfits
 

Post links to some outfits you would recommend PNM's wear to recruitment events. If you want to get fancy, you could even label "when" she might wear them (IE: prefs, skit/video, philanthropy, etc.)

Got makeup or jewelry examples you would like to show? Post those links, too!

For Greek Forum, where you meet your recruitment counselor and group, I'd recommend khaki slacks/shorts/skirt and a simple top.

The philanthropy day round varies at schools. Please don't wear shorts or overalls, as they recommend. Overalls don't look flattering on anyone, unless you are 6 feet tall and all legs, without an ounce of fat. Opt for capris or a cute skirt that you can get up and down in easily (there may be some sitting on the floor and doing an easy craft project). Your school may give the PNM's matching tshirts for the philanthropy round.

Remember, keep your tummy, boobs and thighs covered! A strapless dress is fine as long is it looks tasteful and you drape a shawl or cardigan around your shoulders!

Remember, you are aiming for a classy look, slightly overdressed than what they recommend, and wear COLORS. You want to stand out among the crowd and wear clothes flattering to your body.

Also, keep in mind--- these are opinions of sisters of diff. sororities from all over North America. You need to consult the office of Greek Life at your university for what is appropriate. Some schools are more casual than others, etc. (My opinion is to overdress a little to stand out and look classy)

This shirt http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...CTZZZZZZZ_.jpg with this skirt http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...CMZZZZZZZ_.jpg would be a good combination- simple and classic, yet trendy. At Kent that would be a 3rd party outfit.

That is a really cute skirt. Where did you find it?

No one is telling you to buy these, but here are some cute styles and colors that you can look at while shopping within your budget.

Target has a bunch of basic dark skirts right now that would look great with a colorful top and matching shoes!

Target website- I found the entire outfit on that site.

just please don't stand like the girls pictured in adpiucf's post while waiting to enter a house :)

Agreed, I'm reading this thinking... Mental note - Must go shopping at Dillard's.

Re: J Crew
 

^^ adpiucf, I was going to post the very same picture! :)

While all of these outfits are UBER cute, just remember to check with your own campus on what is appropriate :)

ditto. Some schools you may get laughed at for wearing a Lily. I could see it happening at my school ;) either that, or people would wonder why you're wearing you're grandma's dress. Not to make fun of people who wear Lily, but I hadn't ever heard of Lily until after I graduated.

And most college girls at my school can't afford Ann Taylor.

edited because i didn't even realize lily had only one L

Re: J Crew
 

I like the J. Crew dress.

I agree with shadokat and kddani. Check with your schools regarding appropriate outfits for rush. I am afraid that some PNMs will see this thread and run out and buy the exact same outfits that are posted here. These outfits are just suggestions. :)

Have to agree with this sentiment......I had no idea what a Lily Pulitzer dress was until about a year ago and at the school I went to you would stand out like a severely sore thumb (and not just because we have rush in Jan).
