·

Whether it's Notre Dame's Prom on the Lawn or just a glamorous night on the town, girls are always on the hunt for that perfect outfit.

Fashion by Felicia

Weekends are like foam on a latte, chocolate in a brioche or bubbles in champagne. They are simultaneously a part of our accomplishment-driven week and its most defining and anticipated element. Oh, the fun of dancing, primping and general relaxation. There is nothing like dedicating yourself to you and you alone as books rest comfortably on your shelf and Monday's cares seem miles away. I thought I knew how to properly ring in the weekend before I came to Notre Dame's hallowed halls. I foolishly thought hors d'oeuvres in Paris by the Eiffel Tower, a few evenings at Maxim's, aperitivi by Florence's Ponte Vecchio and a Eurostar trip to London could have prepared me for football weekends. Darlings, I freely admit ⎯ I had no idea.
