I'm originally from a very populated metro-suburb and am used to incredible finds at stores like Marshalls, Ross, and TJ Maxx buttttttt not so much around here  .
JW, but how taboo is it to wear a sorority's colors to pref? It seems practically unavoidable according to the sororites on my campus and the dresses I love are in those color families!
Thank you all, again, for such helpful tips!

The key is the combination. You can wear "cardinal", but don't wear "straw" with it. You can wear "scarlet", but don't wear "olive" with it. And, I would say that this applies to the more "blatant" color combos. Red & white or purple & white wouldn't completely SCREAM a particular sorority like other more obvious combinations.

Yes, I know that. I was using the example of sorority colors that are commonly used in clothing together that wouldn't stick out like Cardinal and Straw would.
If a woman showed up at Prefs in this:

You probably wouldn't automatically think Sigma.
If a woman showed up in this:
You would probably assume that she was leaning toward ChiO.

Ok I definitely wouldn't think that at all unless the PNM was a nutcase to begin with.
And why is the woman fixing her car barefoot?

Why is she wearing a dress with a hood on it?

I AM FINALLY ALMOST DONE! PRAISE SWEET JESUS!
Just need a white dress and that's it!
I got my cocktail dress today and some accessories. I found a great deal at a little boutique here, it's gorgeous. It totally fits my personality and looks so fabulous. I keep putting it on and strutting around my apartment haha.
I had never been in that boutique before, but thanks to some urgings from various GC'ers regarding boutiques- I decided to stop in.

LOL, I guess I'm image search illiterate, I never find anything funny.
Congratulations on finding cute outfits, Soliloquy. I know that there was some debate over whether or not to post descriptions of your outfit but I love fashion/design so if you don't post pictures or descriptions publicly, could you PM me? Anyway, I'm excited to hear how your recruitment comes together these next few months. Good luck!
