I have 9 days until my preseason starts :( That means, essentially, 9 days of summer left. Once preseason starts, I'm back to waking up at 6:30 every morning and driving to my school. At least I will have the afternoons and nights, though. Officially, I have 23 days of summer left. Just a little of 3 weeks! I can't believe how fast it's flown. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm ready for school. Ready for chillier temps and fall layering. Of course, two days in and I'll be wishing it's summer again. Homework does that to ya. Oh yeah, speaking of which, I have yet to do my summer work. 3 books to read, one essay to prepare for, and half of a biology book to study. Ugh.
How much time is left for you guys?

I'm stealing the name of my friend's Tumblr for this one, but it's just perfect for the vibe of this outfit. (Thanks Mary! :D)

As you can see, I'm finally suited up in the proper Spring attire! No more blacks, browns, grays. At least not today. I can't promise I'm done for the season! ;)

Anyways, there is something very exciting happening in my life right now! I have the tiniest closet ever. And that's only accentuated by the tons of clothes I've packed into it! Well, that tiny closet where I stored all 40 of my dresses, about 20 shirts, 10 jackets, and 15 skirts is getting a makeover! I'm beyond excited. What used to be my room is now being transformed into one huge closet all in itself!!! I'm moving into a smaller room in the house where basically I'll only have room for a bed and a bookshelf, and my entire room is going to have racks of my clothes, a dress form/mannequin thing, a couch (to sit and admire my clothes from of course), jewelry trays, and bins of tights/socks/scarves/etc. The best part is that the closet where I used to keep EVERYTHING is now going to be JUST for shoes! I have a closet....just for shoes...

I'm still a bit in shock. But good shock. I cannot WAIT to have a space where picking out my outfits and getting inspired is easier than ever! It's going to be purple, since that's the most dominant color in my wardrobe (black wouldn't look good on the walls... :P). We're also putting mirrors up on one of the walls so it will be a big giant mirror wall!! How sweet is that?? And to add a really personal touch, I'm getting a wall decal that will be the logo of the blog, "WEAR ABOUTS", big and bold and um, awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell I'm excited? Yeah, I'm excited. I am EXCITED. AHHHH I'M SO EXCITEDDDD!!!

I'll post pictures up when it's all complete. But for now, here's a "pastellar" outfit to match the beautiful Spring weather!

This shirt is one of my most recent giveaway wins. For those of you who don't know, a giveaway is exactly what it sounds like: a blogger giving away sponsored items in order to gain followers or because they're being compensated. They're really fun--it's always great to be rewarded for following a blog that you're normally following anyway!

On to this tee: after seeing infamous blogger after infamous blogger wear coveted "Stylemint" tees designed by none other than M-K & Ashley Olsen, it was exciting to win two tees from the brand! These tees are real quality: soft, not clingy, perfect looseness, and impeccably designed. I've probably worn this shirt 5 times since I got it (2 weeks ago). Safe to say I REALLY like Stylemint :)

Maybe it's because I'm Irish, or perhaps I always comment at the right time, but I've been extremely lucky when it comes to winning giveaways. I've won more than I can count on BOTH of my hands since I discovered fashion blogs (about a year ago!). Crazy, right?? 

Recently, I've won tights (thanks Jess!) which you'll see me style soon, a Free People top that's perfect for Spring, 2 Stylemint Tees, a Shabby Apple dress, and two Vedette tops. And that's in the past MONTH.

It all started in June, when I won my first giveaway. It was a set of magnets, of all things! I was SO excited....I was new to following blogs then, so the idea of getting something for free blew my mind! Then, winning became more frequent. In the summer I won a ring from Manic Trout, Ettika bracelets, a gift card to RUTTISH (who is now one of my sponsors!), two leather bags (both of which I sold on Ebay), a bodysuit, and two pairs of shoes from Sole Society. In the fall, my wins included: a necklace from El Vintage, a chambray shirt, and two gift cards to InPink. I also scored a credit for a pair of Blowfish shoes (which I have yet to redeem).

That is a grand total of EIGHTEEN (18) GIVEAWAY WINS (!!!!!!!!!!!!!). And I'm sure I've left out one or two! It's not like I enter millions and millions of giveaways, either. Only the blogs that I follow!

Have any of you had luck like me? Tell me in the comments what sorts of giveaways you've won before! :)

Now all that's left to do is to go out tomorrow and buy a lottery ticket. How much do you think I'd win? :)
