College Fashionista

It’s hard to believe that after a year of writing for CF, this is my last post. Reporting on fashion at Yale has been so rewarding but also challenging. Yale is such a special place, sartorially and otherwise, and not a day goes by that I am not dazzled by the creativity and talent of those…
