NPC women - Do you wear "your colors" often?

[RaggedyAnn]

Red is my favorite color and white is a basic, so yes. I don't wear yellow or green often, but I do have a few things.

My house on the other hand...the living room is yellow with white trim. I have reddish accessories and of course green plants. There are a few ladybugs strategically placed. Andy and I were just talking about this this past weekend. I was feeling a bit bad, because he is a little under-represented, but I don't like decorating with grey and skulls just wouldn't be our taste.

I also tend to go for jewelry more than anything else. My staple go-to necklaces are both fleur de lis, and of course I love my badge(s). I also have a modest collectionof fleur de lis watch pins. I do wear blue but not necessarily in a Kappa way.

This should probably go on the "dumb reasons" thread, but one of the factors working against Kappa was the colors. My college was blue & white, most of Seattle's sports teams (Mariners & Seahawks) have blue... so pile on more blue. But whenever I see dark & light blue together I definitely scream KAPPA! in my head. Oh, my poor husband.

For owls, I remember being excited about our wedding location because they had several owl statues. I also have several cute owl things from my travels- Argentina & Peru surprised me with how many interesting owl carvings etc they had. My favorites are some owl gourds- but I love gourds so that's not surprising. I brought back some owl gourds for my Kappa bridesmaids too

I love to wear colors. And I own a lot of wear green - I always did!

I've even walked into Waldbaum's one time rocking a green cardigan and a customer stopped me to ask where the produce was. Clearly my top was too close in color to their uniforms.

My living room is accented in green as well. But that's a total coincidence.

I wear a ton of purple, mostly lavender. Maroon doesn't do great things to my skin tone so I tend to avoid it. My room is painted lavender, and all my sorority stuff (paddles, letters, etc) is proudly displayed.

I definitely don't wear blue and yellow together ever...And I don't wear blue and yellow more than any other colors, so I guess no. I would rather wear symbols than colors. Unfortunately, there's not many Quill inspired accessories, I'm not five so I can't wear something with teddy bears, and roses aren't unique to my GLO. I'm incredibly jealous of sororities that have popular symbol jewelry. I feel like I see so many anchors, keys and owls...and I always think "Oh that would be perfect for a DG, AST, Kappa, Chi O" etc...

The only red shades I have in my wardrobe are AOII related and usually only get worn for AOII events. I am so not a "red" person! I tend to wear the spectrum of pinks, with some chocolate brown and green scattered about the wardrobe.

Exactly! I don't think I ever see light blue and dark blue combos (whether in clothing, decor, or whatever) that I don't immediately think "Kappa."

And when shopping, I will usually give a blue and blue clothing item a second glance just because it is 'my' color combo.

I occasionally wear the colors. However, my car (Civic) is burgundy. I have a license plate frame and a car magnet on the ride

DH has a burgundy Tundra. No, I didn't have a pull in the color choice. The midnight blue one he wanted was sold 15 minutes before he got there--he's still bitter about that!

I wear a lot of red. Never yellow/buff. Seldom green.

The funny thing to me is that a good number of Alpha Gams I know decorate their houses in the colors. I don't even think it's intentional. I was amused when my decorator proposed paint colors: Red for the kitchen, a legitimate buff for my living area, and green for the master bedroom and bath.

of course it's gorgeous!

Oh - fun story about the colors: In the archive video created a few years ago, it is stated that the founders chose red, buff and green because they're such "practical colors."

My apartment turned out like that accidentally...though I've been changing it recently. It's pretty much just red and brown now, but there are a few squirrels here and there. Not a great color combination for clothing most of the time, but great for interior decorating!

[DubaiSis]

I wear a lot lot lot of blue, in all shades, and I love the combination of blue and gold so I wear it, decorate with it, etc. I would have had a lot of trouble being a Chi O because I really don't like red and yellow together, but I think the dark tones (Alpha Phi, for example) are very elegant. I could see myself having modified my tastes if I'd been told all about the secret significance of burgundy (presuming your big secret isn't that you're a bunch of winos HA!).

[pixell]

I wear a lot of pink, but I don't wear green very often. I have a hard time finding green clothes that I like. It's funny, I don't think I owned any pink before Delta Zeta but it's found it's way into pretty much everything by now.

[kappa_dancer]

I wear blue almost every day & I do combine light & dark quite a lot. But I've been doing that since I figured out that blue works best with my hair and eyes, so it started before I ever knew what Kappa was.

I'm another one who loves jewelry with our symbols. I always wear a necklace with an owl on it. I have one that I wear every day because it's simple. I also have a lot of really fun and different owls that I'll wear when I go out or dress up.

[ZetaGirl22]

I'm not really big on turquoise. I tend to wear more neutral/darker colors. Steel gray though, IS a color I wear often. The only non-neutral color I wear regularly is purple. It is my FAVE color.

[OleMissGlitter]

I have tons of red and cardinal red for AOII! I love cardinal red and it is also the same shade of red for my alma mater where I work! I have never had a red dress though....might be something to look for Convention 2011.
