recruitment week clothing help?
I will be going through recruitment at a somewhat competitive school this August. There are three shorts and t-shirt days and two dressier ones (sisterhood day where you wear a nice sundress and then pref). I would really like some opinions on my clothing options from sorority women who have already been through rush!
Open House days: On these two days you just wear shorts and an official PHA t-shirt. For shorts, I'm planning on wearing J. Crew chinos (3" inseam). For shoes I am going to wear my Sperrys or maybe a pair of nice sandals. the shorts-http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category...1456/61456.jsp Sisterhood day: On this day you wear a dressy sundress. I have a cute pinstripe shirt dress from Forever 21 that I thought could work, unfortunately I can't find a picture of it! If you need to imagine it, it has pink pinstripes and buttons up from the bottom. It also has a waist tie/belt thing which matches the pinstripes. Besides that, I have a Lilly Pulitzer dress that could work also: http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/suga...op_usm=0.8,0.5 For shoes I was planning on wearing my Jack Rogers Navajos. They are kind of a metallic pewter color. Philanthropy day: This is another casual shorts/PHA t-shirt day. I was planning on again wearing a pair of J. Crew shorts and sandals. Pref: I have quite a few options for this night! Keep in mind we don't have to wear a specific color. My first choice is this J. Crew dress, I know its strapless but I have a small chest so nothing would be spilling out! http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thin...l&tid=57958433 Here are a couple others I like: http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/...~~~~/68679.jsp http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses...-mystery-dress http://www.lillypulitzer.com/product...vy+Double+Knot All right thats it! If anyone has suggestions on hair/makeup/jewelry I'd love to hear them! |
For pref, I'd wear the black one not the J Crew...strapless and too casual. and I think you're going to be hot and sweaty in the shirtdress. Maybe the one shoulder Lilly P style would be better?

I like the black one better for pref.

Thank you both! I was originally going to wear the black one, but the back is see through and has a hole in it... I wasn't sure if that would be modest enough for pref. Also, you could see my vertebrae from certain angles, and I didn't think that would be a good look! I actually just tried it on again and it looks much better (I've gained a couple pounds!). Thanks again!

And for the sundress I liked the one shoulder Lily... Looks like it would be cool in the heat as well. But the lace is pretty too! |
Could I add one thing, for all PNMs? Whatever you wear, make sure that you're wearing it with confidence! If you act like you're wearing a "Recruitment Week Costume", it will show that you're not used to wearing Lily or whatever. Get your outfits together, and be sure to wear them a few times (albeit carefully!) so that you won't look uncomfortable!

I vote for the black lace dress for pref. and the one shoulder Lilly for sisterhood round.
Honeychile, great advice!! |
That first dress is really cute. It's the first Lilly dress that hasn't made me want to claw out my eyes :p It reminds me of Monet. Not garish in the least.
ETA: the lace black for pref. No bolero, that would ruin the effect of the dress. If you don't like how your back looks, pick another dress, but a lot of girls have vertebrae showing. See honeychile's comments. |

I like the black lace one. We have seen a lot of lace on campus this spring and I am pretty sure there will be lots during recruitment as well. The one shouldered Lilly is cute as long as it is fabric not knit (too casual). We own the J Crew strapless dress. It is very cute on. My daughter uses lingerie double sided tape on the top in just a couple of places to make sure it doesn't gap (small chest :( ). If its hot and you are sweaty the tape doesn't work as well.

You anticipated my question! Good to know. |
Is black acceptable for PNMs to wear for Pref? Or am I confusing it with White? (Think I just answered my own question but I'll leave it here just in case.)
