<p>My D has mentioned that some girls wear very expensive clothes & that Tory Burch shoes are worn by many. I guess if you want to “fit in” you’ll need to follow the advice given by those who know what’s in.</p>
<p>However, if you wear what you want to wear, you will be fine, too. If that means you won’t be able to get into a certain sorority, maybe that’s not the sorority for you. I can’t believe there isn’t a place for a girl who wants to join a sorority simply because she cannot afford (or chooses not to pay for) $200+ flats. </p>
<p>For what it’s worth, my D wears jeans and tops. She is a midwestern girl, and she just can’t get into the traditional brands/styles favored by many southerners. She doesn’t draw looks of horror and loathing due to her fashion choices. Because she wouldn’t be interested in guys who would want her to dress in a way she chooses not to dress, and she wouldn’t want to be friends with girls who would want her to look a certain way, it’s not an issue for her.</p>
