I Know What To Wear To Mine But What Do I Wear To His?!

Formal. An exciting but anxiety provoking event that stirs up talk among sorority girls when their favorite frats’ formal approaches. The pressure and self doubt swarms girls minds as they play the “what if” game. Will he ask me? Probably not, no shot compared to the other girls in his life. But wait, what if he does ask me…how should I respond? I would be so excited if he asks, wow, but wait, chill, you don’t want to come off like a psycho girl. Be cool. How does one even play it cool? Maybe I’ll act super thankful, wait, no, then I’ll seem desperate as if I was waiting weeks for this day to come, which I totally was…not? What color should I get my nails done? What is the best spot for a spray tan? Oh man, what if it comes out orange, then I definitely can’t Instagram. I wonder how our heights align with one another. Shit, what if he is shorter than me…then I can’t wear heels…how could one not wear heels to formal?! OH MY GOD. WHAT DO I WEAR!?!? It has to be a dress that no one else is going to wear so maybe I’ll look on sites starting from the last page and work my way forwards. Plan. Okay, I think we are ready. Gosh, I hope the pictures come out cute.

As you can tell, the hype for formal and the pressure that comes along with it can be daunting. In the moment, these materialistic components (such as your dress, hair, shoes, nails and so on,) seem crucial. When looking back however, you will remember the time you had, not whether your nail color matched the theme of your outfit. Feel confident in yourself and no matter what you decide to wear, rather than the dress be wearing you, you will be wearing it. At the end of the day anyways what you will remember is the time you had with your date and friends and not what you were wearing. You’re going to look fly as hell girl, have fun!
