If you could do it again...RE: Clothing

[dgdramadawg]

I wish my photoshop skills were as strong as others' skills are! Here are my clothing choices... but I'm too lazy for exact shoe and jewelry picks. Anyway, even if I had it to do over on an unlimited budget, I'd probably still end up wearing the same jewelry every day... it'd just be more expensive this time around!

ROUND ONE: ICE WATER TEAS
Since round one is still two days at UGA and it's only a bajillion degrees outside, I'd need two dresses in case the heat made one dress unwearable the next day. Both are Lauren by Ralph Lauren.

Day One:


Day Two:


ROUND TWO: HOUSE TOURS
I'd want something fun and cute that would still stand out a little, like this Sketchpad Elyse Dress by Kate Spade.



ROUND THREE: PHILANTHROPY
I'd want something bright and fun, but a little dressier than round two. I'd either go for this red and black (Go Dawgs!) one by Michael Kors:



OR this cute little party dress from The Limited:



ROUND FOUR: PREFS
I'd want to stay away from a solid black dress, since so many girls seem to show up in LBDs. I just love this dress from White House Black Market:



BID DAY:
I'd wear this cute Michael Kors dress (which you can totally get at Macy's for $69.99). Comfy and with pockets! Sure, it's not totally white, but who cares? Recruitment is over!

Of the schools where NMs wear white dresses on bid day, is this because chapters do the pledging ritual on bid day or just because it's tradition to wear white on bid day?

I think it's sort of both.

Here's what Auburn's site says about Bid Day attire:
Also, many sororities have a members-only "formal pinning" ceremony on the evening of Bid Day. It is at this ceremony that you are given your new member pin. Many sororities require that the new members wear a white dress to this occasion. So, it's a good idea to bring one with you to Auburn. It doesn't have to be pretty or cost a fortune. As long as it is white, it will do.

Since you know you might need the dress, you've already bought it. So why not wear it?

I think a solid white dress and a solid black dress are worthwhile additions to any sorority member's wardrobe. It's probably not a bad idea to snag them when you find some you like and they're on sale!
