I'm shocked no one likes the necklace:P

It wouldn't in mine either. Of course I'm 5'4" and boobless, so hey, I might be able to pull it off. (And by the way, I'm desperately jealous of your daughter and her height.) But momma always said that cleavage, if you MUST show it, is for after dark. I always tell the PNM's they have to remember they're trying to meet other girls, not guys.

As a short girl, though, I gotta say I love sky high heels.

This made me laugh because even at 5' 11" my daughter likes to rock the 4 inch heels! I told her I hope she finds herself a tall man.

Just as a side note around 15 years ago I had to send my recruitment chair home to change the dress she had on. I guess her and the president didn't give each other dress checks and she was all boobs literally falling over the top of the dress. She was SO mad at me and wouldn't speak to me the rest of recruitment.

Hahahaha. I have a picture of my pledge class during our first preference as actives. That year three or four girls were in shows on campus and were in rehearsal so much that they were missing the least crucial parts of work week and somehow they never got their outfits checked. Coincidentally they all had huge boobs and were short, so they're standing in the front row of the picture in the hands on knees sorority pose and your eyes go straight to BOOBS.

On another note I went back and put together recruitment outfits that I could actually afford:





All of the dresses except the preference dress are from Modcloth, and most of the jewelry is Forever21/Charlotte Russe/Old Navy (I own a bunch of it already). This is how I would actually shop...I'd be picking shoes and accessories that could go with many different outfits and dresses that I could wear day to day (and the pref dress would be great for a semi-formal).

PS-For PNM's wanting to see how sorority women dress on their particular campus, one easy way to find out is to dig up chapters' websites. Look at the photos and see what the actives are wearing (though make sure the site is up to date...sometimes they're a few years old).

I had WAY too much fun with this. I had a deferred recruitment, so here is what I'd wear if I were going through summer recruitment today.









The nail polish from the first two and last two are supposed to be the same. I am obsessed with dresses right now, and apparently bright colors, too.

Love this stuff! Very cute and this would work on my PAC 10 campus.

obsessed with the white and blue one shoulder...where's it from?!

[VandalSquirrel]

I think this is a look I want to pump, and it'd be killer at a winter rush.



I'd love some vintage couture. Take me to St. Olaf in one of these!

Did Fleur de Lis ever tell anyone where she saw this second dress?

I ran the image through TinEye and it found the dress--sort of. It's a piece from modcloth.com, but while I have the image URL for the site, I can't find the product page where it should be. I'm not optimistic that they're still selling it.

Are they made by manufacturers or independent seamstresses?

(And thanks!)

I ran the image through Google Image search and it sent me to this: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses...ick-lass-dress

Such a pretty dress, too! I would totally have bought it.

I saw a similar pair at the Bass outlet yesterday, but they were plain canvas and not printed. I only had a passing glance but I think they came in black or tan.

Thanks! I was thinking of something in a red-coral plus green print. I have seen other color combinations;there seems to be lots of blue with yellow out there.

Another heartbreaker... these are Arturo Chiang shoes ("Hummel"), and it looks like they're not being made anymore. There's a pair on that one site if you're a size 6.5.
