NPC women - Do you wear "your colors" often?

[ree-Xi]

I know that the ladies of several (if not all) of the Divine Nine sororities have threads here about clothing and accessories in their colors. I believe that I have seen some threads and discussions and have seen Latina/MC/Service sororities doing the same, but was wondering if there are a lot of NPC women who commonly wear their sorority colors on purpose.

I know that a lot of women include their color(s) into their wedding somehow, but as alumnae, living "every day life", do you go out of your way to wear your colors? Did the colors creep into your consciousness so that you actually have a lot of garments in one or more of your colors?

I'm trained to notice red-buff-green now because it was so hard to find items that incorporated all three colors, but I don't exactly wear clothing with all three colors. It would be rare to find a piece that incorporated all three colors and didn't make you look like a clown. I do have a few casual bracelets with colors that I wear occasionally.

I have a good friend who is an AGD and she has ME trained to spot red-buff-green color combos. I always text her when I see that, a squirrel (on clothing, bags, etc) or her letters lol

I have always loved turquoise, ever since I was a kid! So my wardrobe does have a lot of turquoise and not just because of ZTA. Although I do try to wear it on chapter days!

Haha you're a good friend then because it really is hard to find stuff. I learned that as a sis-mom. Especially squirrels. Every time some store comes out with something involving acorns or squirrels my chapter and the UAB chapter buy out the entire Birmingham area. My last roommate is a DG and I did the same with bronze-pink-blue. We were constantly texting each other when we found things in our colors. Though I didn't bother with anchors, since they're on everything now.

I will say all of my jerseys are red-buff-green. I never had one that wasn't in our colors. I forgot which company I got my favorite one from but they have a fabric with red yellow and green jerry-bears. It's my favorite jersey ever.

I have always gravitated toward maroon and I love lavender but it washes me out.

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'll wear one color at a time, but that's because I look fabulous in red, yellow, or green. I don't wear buff (as you can guess, washes me right out and is hard to find a true buff color!).

lol yeah AGD colors are hard to find, and when I see them they usually remind me of Jamaica b/c I always tend to see stripes and it reminds me of a flag. Even though idk what the flag of Jamaica even looks like

There is a store here that it for babies/toddlers but they have a ton of stuffed animals, and she like freaked out when she found a stuffed squirrel and always wants to go check it out when she visits.

H&M is selling Squirrel-pendant necklaces, and they are supercute! And 4$, your friend might just love that.

(Owls seem to be very fashionable this season as well )

That's where a lot of girls in my chapter get things...rasta-themed wear. I've found squirrels in random places but my favorites have been from flea markets. I have a soft spot for the creepy squirrels and I'm telling you, that's the place to find the squirrels of your nightmares.

I can't wear buff, either. I turn into all one color. (Brown hair, brown eyes, tan...ish right now... skin). I own no taupes/tans/buffs.

Thank God brown (and pink) have come into style. I love brown, and it's my new favorite neutral.

Since plaid and florals are both making a comeback, I've have noticed different sororities' color combinations in stores, both in the summer (pastels) and fall/winter. What's so great about the plaid is that you'll often find a rarer combination thanks the "crossing" of colors.

For you squirrels, I know for sure that I've seen non-Christmassy red/green plaid flannel shirts (if you're into that) in the past few weeks. I'll keep my eye out, and you SK girls, I definitely saw a plaid that had pretty close to your colors. You sometimes have to look in the men's department, but a size small fits me perfectly (perfect for layering). Seriously, check out JC Penny's men's section.

Note that I am a New England girl, and flannel kind of never went out of style. I'm just so happy that plaid is back!!

My cousin had a pink and brown-themed wedding a few years ago. The bridesmaid dresses were gorgeous, the decorations were kind of understated, but absolutely lovely. The perfect mix of playfulness, elegance and simplicity.

I also love brown as a neutral. It looks much better near my face than black does, and I think looks great with neutrals, brights, and pastels. Black can be too striking against brights, and it reminds me of the color-block style of the early 90s. *Shudder*

Im quite the opposite actually! Im not fond of red at all....actually I wear alot of black, grey,purple and navy lol

[flirt5721]

I wear a lot of different color combinations. My favorite is light blue and dark blue. It is more KKG but wearing yellow can be a little much sometimes. I also like to wear pink and green or purple and green (more SAE than sorority) I've done brown with green but no red. I just like colors. Although I only started to wear pink after I joined AXiD because of our flower.

[AGDLynn]

I definitely wear a lot of red, yellow/gold and greens. Good that I am a "fall" person. Those are also my house decorating colors.

Even got hubby on squirrel lookouts, lol.
