Redneck Ego.

There's something about dressing up in the exact opposite of what you've tried so hard to make your "style" be that is absolutely thrilling. Do you know what I mean? White people love dressing up like thugs, and Plano kids love dressing like "parkies"...heck, parkies love dressing up like parkies.

But my question for you is: does this mean this is what our true style is/should be? Or do we just love being what we're not?

This past Thursday my sorority had a date party themed Redneck Riviera. All the girls put on their cut-off jorts, cowboy boots and tacky t-shirts and picked up the boy of their fancy, dressed in similar attire (jorts included.)

Now, I don't know if this is my Texas roots coming out, or my desire to be Miranda Lambert or let's be honest a combination of the two, but I always have a BLAST when I dress like a redneck.

And it's not just me. EVERYONE goes all out for this theme. Now I'm not saying I'm going to go out and buy a bunch of jorts and Bud Light shirts with the sleeves ripped off, nor am I going to search for a tractor driving soul-mate...but it's just something to think about....

When we choose to dress up, is this who we would be if there were no rules?

 I think we're a little too "cutsey" to be convincing rednecks!
