Before I continue onto my next article, I would like to address my previous blog which referenced flower-ins. My intention was never to offend any person or organization on DePauw’s campus and I apologize for having done so. Okay, now onto the good stuff!
Going out on a Wednesday and don’t know what to wear? Yea, we’ve all been there. It seems as though you don’t have ANY clothes because you don’t like any of them anymore. Been there too. Well, I’m here to make you all feel better. No males really, really care what we look like. May sound harsh but its pretty much true. When we go out on the weekends or any day for that matter, whom are we really trying to impress by putting on all that make-up and nice clothes? Girls. When is the last time you wore a really cute dress and a had a boy (besides your boyfriend because they are required/whipped) say to you, “Wow, that is SUCH a cute dress and its so flattering on you!” Never. Unless it’s extremely cleavage flaunting, they couldn’t care less what we wear or what we look like. Dressing up to go out is only done to impress other girls. Don’t get me wrong, I am a girl still and I understand that it’s fun sometimes to get dolled up and feel good. But it’s also exhausting! Throughout my college experience, I can honestly say the most fun I’ve had while going out are the nights after an event like GGG or Ring Sing when we’re in crazy, but comfy clothes (my go to are overall shorts!) and it’s easier to move around in! Unfortunately, I guess that would be frowned upon to wear every night so here are some suggestions on dressing the part for the frat parties. On a Wednesday or Thursday night, tone it down with the outfits because once again, the boys really don’t notice and there’s no reason to waste a Saturday night option. So leave the heels, skirts and dresses at home and just wear something you might wear to class and spruce it up a little bit. Even on Saturday night, are the heels really worth the pain of wearing them, and subsequent glass in your feet from taking them off? No! So do your dogs a favor and leave them at home. Instead, opt for a nice pair of frat shoes that you don’t mind allowing touching those foul floors. Let’s cherish these 4 short years of not being in the real world and leave the lavish outfits for a time when we will dearly miss being able to wear a jersey in public for no apparent reason. Next time I see you collegiettes at a frat, you better be comfy because really, nobody is judging.
