If you're set on the dress, get a darker colored cardigan to go with it. If you're not set on the dress, then look for one that is less summeyr. There are tons of really cute dresses out right now that are more appropriate for fall. It's also depends on the part of the country you're in. Where I live, the cute dress with boots look is very appropriate, however I am not sure about the west coast, hopefully one of the west coasters will let us know.

Thank you! Any store suggestions for pref night attire? My school stresses no semi formal or formal, but it says "nice dress you would wear to an afternoon wedding" I've done a lot of looking, but I always like the outside opinions because I don't always make the best fashion decisions!

I'm not sure where you're going through recruitment but I have NOT seen that look at UofA (Arizona). I thought the dress was definitely summer and wouldn't work with either color of boots. Maybe the polyvore gurus on GC can put together a dress and boots outfit that works?

yeah I think I'm going to ditch the boots. I'm from southern CT in the Fairfield county and that is how we normally dress a lot. I will ditch the boots for recruitment but I would loveee the idea of putting some outfits together! I like to look very classy and elegant :-)

Or LucyKKG as she's a Northern California girl, if the OP wants perspective from different parts of the state.

As to why girls comment on guys threads without getting called out:
1. Sometimes we do get called out
2. Guys rush just isn't as systematic and complicated as girls rush, with few exceptions.
3. Many girls here have actively participated (on the Fraternity side) of rush...with even fewer exceptions.than #2, no guys have actively participated in girl's rush.

AlphaFrog,
I would suggest that your comment is not 'the deal'. It is that in your opinion my 'advice' is basically worthless. Very well, I have no argument with your opinion. I just don't happen to agree with it. My 'advice' was offered constructively and seems to be supported by several further comments from later posters. As to qualifying it and asking for reinforcement it seems to me that seeking concensus or inviting differing views hardly establishes the 'worthlessness' of my observations but rather attempts to ensure the usefulness of my input.
I don't recall saying anything about girls not being called out. I recall pointing out that it is apparently standard practice for 'girls' to comment on guy centric threads and issues and therefore it seemed appropriate that the correlary would hold true as well. As to the differences between fraternity and sorority rush and the degrees of cross participation therein, I fail to see the relevance of your argument in addressing whether or not it is a good idea to wear a specific outfit for a specific rush activity.
As to my being pretentious, I'm sorry if I seem that way to you, but would you really want a 34 year old lawyer to come off as an inarticulate adolescent?
I note that many CG regulars are in their 30s and come off a bit more polished than teenaged undergraduates or overaged wannabe kids, but I don't really think that qualifies as pretentious. On the contrary, I submit that acting one's age and drawing on one's experience seems to me to be a valid approach.

Just because one is "Polished" or "articulate" doesn't necessarily mean one must revert to the writing style of one CS Lewis.

You're not getting the point that it's inappropriate for members of non-NPC groups to comment on anything relating to NPC recruitment, up to and including wardrobe.
We NPC members may not agree on outfits, but we're all well within our knowledge and right to give "regional" opinions about what would or would not be appropriate for our regions, having gone through dress checks as collegians ourselves.

I've seen people give unsolicited opinions on GC for far worse subjects than a guy giving a PNM his opinion on recruitment clothing. OK, so maybe recruitment is one of the times when we ladies don't dress to impress the male species. I still feel that dekeguy had every right to give his opinon.
I have loved all of the dresses posted in this thread -- especially those from Dubai Sis and ree-xi. I think that the OP has gotten some valuable information on what to consider while choosing recruitment clothes.
