No gross plastic shizz please!

COMMENTS: 19 Comments

Of course, it is also because I am not in college either, but nevertheless, this is like The Bible Of Fashion from Cornell’s Pi Phi Sorority.

To be frank, I sort of agree with 90% of what they’re posting here. But to actually put it down on paper, is hilarious!

The comments are hilarious and some, quite on point.

“No camel toe.”

“If you are wearing cheapo shoes, make sure they don’t look it”

“No satin dresses. No one looks good in satin dresses unless they are from Betsey Johnson or Dolce & Gabbana, you weigh less than 130 pounds, have spanks [Ed: I think she means "Spanx" the brand] and it’s New Years Eve.”

“No ‘Fuck-me-Pumps’”

“No tacky/cheapo/pleather. Don’t mess with me.”

“I’m weird about shoes, so do it right.

I will be doing dress checks so have your outfits ready for each round…”

“I am also weird about accessories. And I am not saying you have to wear Harry Winston wreath for me to like it, but I am saying I will not tolerate any gross plastic shizzz.”

—————————————————

I do admit to wearing some plastic shizz once in a while, but in my defense, they aren’t neon plastic baubles.

At least they’ll all look presentable. :P

    Sorry, I am totally down with the gross plastic shizz. I love that earrings need to be "hippie-chic" but wooden and glass rings are out.

    Wow, as overbearing as her tone was, that sounds like really, really solid fashion advice. I love that it defied the stereotypical impression of sorority girls as orange-tanned cleavage-bearing glitterbombs, and instead gave some pretty chic understated fashion advice.

    That was….comprehensive! At least you don't have to guess – she gives you a pretty good guide of what to wear!

    I may be the only person in the world who hates blush. I'm pale, but rosy/blotchy. Hence, I ain't going to be putting MORE colour on the cheeks. Hell no.

    Wow, that's funny written down. I love how everything is qualified by "I'm just sayin'"…

    I need to stop laughing. Granted, I'll give them credit, some of those are fashion rules I live by — I just don't have the balls to spell them out on paper!

    The post was meant to just be funny, Rose.

    What did you expect this blog to be?

    What I meant was that I don't understand what the list is used for… I wasn't trying to be snarky at all. I think perhaps I have missed the meaning of the list, being from a different country :< I'm sorry if I offended you in any way :<

    OH!

    It was a Sorority “must-wear” list. Kind of like rules that every member had to follow!

    Pumps with very very high heels. 3″ or higher… :)

    This is why I'm glad that I was in a "nerd sorority." To get in, you had to be majoring in some kind of engineering. We may not have been the prettiest bunch, but our rush/pledge period was laughably easy, and our floats were ALWAYS the best!

    Huggies listed under an earring "Do"?

    The only Huggies I know are diapers.

    I was a bit confused about what a “Huggie” was too. I just assumed she meant something else, but spelled it wrong

    I think I would have been more comfortable in a sorority where it was less about being a perfectly groomed socialite, and more about what we had in common with each other

    Although I must say, her long list of requests about fashion seem pretty reasonable for the most part.
