If something goes wrong with it or you don't like it, be sure that you have enough time to fix or change it.

You don't want to get a horrible spray tan that you hate and have to go through recruitment looking like an Oompa Loompa.

YES. Mystic Tan makes me look orange. If you have fair skin, don't do spray tanning.

To the OP: there's nothing wrong with wearing nylons if you want to. Like someone else said, make sure they match your skin tone. Usually people can't even tell that you're wearing them if you get a good pair. My favs: if you have a Talbots by you, they have fabulous hosiery.

I need to get one for my bunader so it is on my list of things to buy in the next month. I was going to look at stores in Spokane, probably starting with Freddies and going from there.

Nylons are fine, but you MUST wear them with closed shoes -- no sandals or open-toe shoes. It's worth it to splurge on a manicure/pedicure if you can.

L'Oreal makes a stick concealer (I think it's called "Quick Stick") that I use for everything -- as a eye/facial concealer, eye shadow base, and to conceal little marks on my legs. Lightly streak an edge of the concealer across whatever you want to hide on your legs and blend it in with one of your fingers. Use a facial brush and loose powder to set it if you like. It's relatively cheap, and it works.

You can buy half-slips in any length. Most are made of nylon-type materials. You can buy them with one or two slits if you want, and twist them around to match the slit(s) on your skirt or dress. I would get a nude colored slip. You can also roll them up at the waist if you need to. If you get a nylon slip, also buy a spray-on product called, "Static Guard". It will keep you slip from sticking to your hose or your skirt. I also like cotton slips, which are comfortable and don't stick, but they can be hard to find.

I just tested a concealer - genius idea, thanks!

hi ladies i am brand new on this site still not really sure how to start my own thread and whatnot. I am going through formal recruitment in 2 weeks at a private florida university! I am very excited and had some questions about wardrobe. I have these really cute pair of silver/grey dress shorts that are cuffed. I want to wear them with a nice black shirt and a scarf. How do you all feel about scarves? a yes or a no? It is back/white/grey and matches the outfit. I know how you talk about jewelry being minimal so I wasn't sure. Also nice flipflops are okay because of it because florida right? Another thing I wanted to post what school I am rushing at because i wanted to know if someone on here could give me advice specific to my school is that not advised to do? Thanks for all the help!

To be honest, it's up to you if you want to tell us which school. It does help people give more specific advice. I tend to think it's fine as long as you aren't planning on bashing chapters on campus or being a total snot.

If by nice flip flops you mean something like this, that should be fine with dress shorts. If by nice flip flops you mean you got them at Abercrombie instead of K Mart, no.

Scarves can look cute on the right person, but make sure you have the fashion sense to carry it off. If your brother or sister looks at you and laughs, skip the scarf.

o yes of course like the flip flops you posted. I will keep that in mind I am sure my older sister will have something to say about the scarf!
