carnation - do you have a Casual Corner close by? They tend to have a lot of separates in different styles that go well together. It can get pricey, but you can also find some pretty good sales. Most of their stuff is really versatile too so you can wear it nearly anywhere. It's a really good place to go to find simple, elegant styles that aren't mega-trendy like a lot of mall stores. I stay on the conservative side, so I love their clothes, whenever Mom is willing to pick up the tab!
If I'm paying, I stick to Old Navy and Cato.
Edited to add: I picked an outfit to wear that I bought for my brother's wedding without thinking too much about the colors. it's the outfit I will be wearing for Pref (if I get that far) is light blue and sleevelss, with a cute white cardigan. The outfit is in one of the sororities' colors, but it's not overkill. I hope it doesn't scream "ABC PICK ME because I'm wearing your colors!!!" I don't think it will, but any thoughts on this?
