So what's a typical casual weekend outfit for you? I'm curious.

This summer I wore the equivalent of, Nantucket Red 5 inch inseams, button down blue polo, rainbows, ray bans, croakies just about every day I wasn't at my internship where I had to wear a suit.

No gel in the hair, no funny slogans.

Sounds like a normal outfit to me.

I heart my Rainbows!

Is it hard being so wonderful and perfect, and always representing your organization with such grace, class, and tact? I would find it a struggle, but then, I'm not from a prestigious "Big 6" organization like you are. I did go to a prestigious Jesuit school, but of course, you've already explained to me that you know more about Catholicism than I do. What will you enlighten us on next, alum? I'm struggling a little in my Constitutional Law class, perhaps you could elaborate on the doctrine of judicial review? Or maybe you could tell me how to have my nose so far up in the air like you do without tipping over.

There's nothing typical about what I wear. It's just that great.

Hehe - that'd be great, toga every day...

Express is having a pretty cool sale (FYI) right now, I didn't find anything I liked on sale though (maybe you all will have better experience). I did get a suit though, wasn't on sale but it's pretty sharp. Where else does everyone buy suits? Is Men's Warehouse any good? I've never been there, but have been curious.

I don't even know what to say to you.

She's quite aware that "frat" isn't an acceptable term. It's called SARCASM. Or else it's implying that judging from your posts, your chapter really does fit the stereotype of a "frat house."

I mean, she has ghastly bad taste in football teams but other than that she's purty smart.

Heh. WTF are rainbows and croakies? I don't use the word "gay" as an adjective, but it seems appropriate here.

Rainbows are flip-flops and they are quite comfortable. I don't want to talk about Croakies because I think they are very silly but I know other people love them.

Rainbows or Reefs, are hella comfortable. They're sandals and they last forever. Croakies are the strips of rubber? I don't know what material, that hold your sunglasses on. They're a type of strap so you don't lose them when your fishing or when you need to take them off. The fact that you don't know what rainbows and croakies are makes them that much cooler.

As for what I normally wear, either a fraternity party shirt or a polo, khaki shorts or pants depending on the whether, a belt, and usually reefs or my birkenstock moc sandals.

Our Sr. Project Manager here at my company wears them all the time. It's like his staple.

So they're like pocket protectors for sunglasses. Hot.

Croakies started out as serving a practical purpose for deep-sea fishing and other activities where you need sunglasses but would prefer they not fall into the ocean as you pull in a 100-pound sailfish, or whatever.

Usually Croakies are attached to a paid of Costa Del Mars, Maui Jims, maybe Oakleys.

And Rainbows I thought were popular nearly everywhere? They're out of SoCal but are very popular here in Florida, throughout the South and the West Coast.

Why am I giving a lesson on Southern frat wear? I'm a girl, I shouldn't have to do this.

I think they are worse. At least a pocket protector serves a purpose - you can't put your pen behind your ear, or you'll write on your face, and it could ruin your shirt. Nothing bad happens when you put your sunglasses on your head.

Sandals on men = ick. Who wants to see ugly hairy man feet? Gross!

Sunglass holders. Sexy. For a 60 year old grandpa on the beach, maybe.

I love you Kath, but I have to disagree. I think it's ridiculous when girls wear Croakies, but for guys who are outdoors a lot, they serve a practical purpose. Brian just got a pair of Costas, and it's like, if a guy is going to spend that much on a pair of sunglasses, he better not lose them. Usually I see guys wearing them around their neck when they're not wearing the glasses? I think? I don't know, my Tuscaloosa memories are getting fuzzy.

Yeah all those guys that are wearing flip flops and sandals should listen to this girl. She knows what she's talking about.
