Homecoming Weekend Recap

Big/Little
This weekend was so much fun, but I am so glad that it's over with! On Thursday night, I was in charge of putting together Big/Little Revealing. This was more stressful than any other event during the new member period, but it was amazing and everyone had so much fun!

At revealing, the bigs dressed up in costumes and covered themselves in layers upon layers of clothes. They each gave their (soon-to-be) littles corresponding outfits and had them wear it to the actual reveal. Groups of bigs went to the front of the room and danced to music, while taking off their layers one by one. When they reached the bottom layer and the little saw who her costume matched with, they ran up to the front and hugged their big! It's so exciting and suspenseful! Here's a few pictures to help you understand.

My littles, Sharyn & Katy, are the two on the left!

Homecoming Function
Friday night we had our annual Homecoming date function. I borrowed a beautiful Lilly Pulitzer dress from my good friend, Alex, and it looked so pretty. Jake and I had so much fun dancing and posing for pictures:)




Homecoming Parade & Game:
I stressed all week about what jacket to wear for the Homecoming parade and game. I tried a ton of options, but nothing looked right. I'm not one to settle if it isn't exactly what I want, so on Friday around lunch, Jake and I hit King Street (the one place in Boone, besides the outlets, that has decent shopping). The first store I went into was Gladiola Girls and Jake spotted this gold coat with a large collar and beautiful buttons. I tried it on and we decided it was perfect!

Thanks to a coupon I had and some help from my mom's sweet friend, Tammy, I got it for a great price! This paired with the black Vineyard Vines dress I picked out, was just the right combination, especially for the 40 degree temperatures the morning of the parade!

Here's Dylan and I in our mustang for the parade!

 Oh my gosh! We're on the big screen!

Though I didn't win Homecoming Queen, I had SO much fun! Being part of the court was absolutely amazing! It was a great, eventful, exciting, stressful, exhausting weekend.

What were you up to this weekend?
