Apparently they were from the "Simpson shoe line" of which I'm unfamiliar.

I thought they were just talking about her Dukes of Hazard-ish look.

Oh.

I forgot she had a clothing line.

I didn't know either.

But now that I know, wearing Jessica Simpson boots are about just as cool as wearing Jaclyn Smith's collection from Wal-Mart.

No. Please. No.

[AlphaFrog]

MY opinion...

Yes:



No (for more reasons than the navy blue & black combo):

Maybe it's the pose but that's a stupid looking outfit. LOL. The boots are big looking and there's too much pattern in that dress.

<----apparently wants a fashion discussion

I think the boots look big, and the heel somehow doesn't work.

Alpha Frog, with all due respect, trust someone experienced with a lot of Texas rushes. Although cute in its own way, that is not a look that will go over well at Tech and will draw attention to the PNM in a not so positive way.

Palpitation, if you seriously question if something slightly unusual would be OK to wear during rush, chances are you'll end up being self conscious if you wear it. I've seen your other posts and know you're super anxious, so don't add anything you're unsure of to the mix.

That's why I said MY opinion. I personally like the look if you find the right color combos and can pull it off....meaning it's something you would wear outside of rush and feel natural in. If it's feeling a little like a little girl wearing mom's heels or a Halloween costume, don't do it.

But...take this as the advice of someone who went to rush straight from colorguard practice in workout shorts and a t-shirt, and then black jeans with a funky sash-like thing 2nd round.

LadyLonghorn,

The OP did not ask for opinions to be given only from Texans. Alpha Frog is entitled to her opinion, as am I, as is everyone else on GC. We may even get an SEC Fratty to tell her to wear Croakies and Ray Bans with her boots.

Ultimately, the PNM needs to make up her own mind whether she decides to wear the boots during recruitment or ever. IMHO, I put cowboy boots up there with UGGs. Hate them both! But put on a pair of glove-leather Chanel Thigh-Highs...that is chic!

Alpha Frog has two very good examples of Glamour Dos and Glamour Don'ts. Accept her opinion as that, and be happy she didn't blast you.

Ciao

My D had to buy a pair for rush b/c all the actives had to wear "themed outfits" every day and one day was western so I wouldn't want to wear them to a house that all the actives were wearing them. Since you don't know what they'll be wearing, I'd steer clear of them.

Thanks for your opinions everyone, but it's not for pref night.
It's for casual dress.

This is a picture of me before a brad paisley concert about a year and a half ago.
And it's pretty much what I'm talking about, is that too stand-out for rush?
But remember, I'm from Texas.

I like the sundress look with cowboy boots

Army Wife makes a good point. I thought I had the CUTEST dress for third round - blue with red polka dots. (It was the 80s - trust me it was cute THEN) Walked into the Gamma Phi room- they had the EXACT SAME DRESS - only red with blue polka dots. Sigh. Please note - I ended up Gamma Phi. AND I'M GLAD I DID - but I was mortified when I walked in that room.

eta - You are SO CUTE in that outfit. But ask someone from Tech if it would be a good idea for recruitment.
