fleaNote to self: attempt to avoid being in the hallways of your building when classes change. For the semi-crowd-phobic, it is rather terrifying. A sea of humanity.
Fashion notes from the Uggaversity:
Green seems to be in. Nike Tempo Track Running shorts (http://www.nike.com/index.jhtml?cp=USNS_KW_0611081618&l=nikestore,home&re=US&co=US&la=EN&ef_id=1778:3:s_

nikestore,grid,_pdp,cid-1/gid-104064/pid-89630,_grid,f-10001+12002+4294967255&re=US&co=US&la=EN) are definitely in - every other woman who wasn't dressed up was wearing them.
Girls are preppier than boys - very few boys with popped collars. I'd say the reverse was true at the Looniversity.
Sorority pledges (viewed en masse last week, several hundred) are heavily blonde (there were brunettes, but not in a proportion that Nature supports), heavily tanned (I saw no nonwhite pledges, and no white ones as pale as me), but surprisingly, came in a variety of shapes (i.e. not all stick-thin; nobody was seriously overweight, but there were plenty of thighs, some of which were certainly plus-sized). They universally wore above-the-knee dresses, mainly empire-waisted/babydolls, and flat shoes (lots of dressy-ish flip flops). Last year, I am told, it was all strapless. My question is, how do they KNOW? I mean, they have literally just arrived on campus!
