Carnation Ball 2017
This past Friday, I attended my final Chi Omega formal of my college career... That's just as weird to type as it is to comprehend!

Houndstooth Cardigan
TGIF! Who else is pumped that it's finally Friday? I'm ready for a chill weekend filled with time spent with friends, working on homework and doing some shooting for the blog.
