Photos from as far back as January 2012!
The last two years of my life have been spent completely occupied with nursing school. Between year round school with 12-hour clinicals, 8-hour lectures and working 12-hour shifts at a hospital I had almost no time for wearing lolita or making outfit posts.
Now that I have graduated here is my official catch-up post from the past two years :)
