I remember back in seventh grade and eighth grade (2-3 years ago), when, at my school, having a Sugar Lips tank top was all the craze. They were seamless, flattering, in bold colors, and THE brand to have in tank tops. You know how that goes, right? When you're in school, there's always some brand that's "in"...and then everyone has to have it!

I didn't have a Sugar Lips tank top, but all of my friends did. And I WANTED one. Now, three years later and 3 months of blogging behind me (hehe), I've finally achieved popular seventh grader status with my new Sugar Lips dress. Granted, it's not a tank top. And I'm not a seventh grader, either. But my seventh grade self would have loved to flaunt this through the halls of middle school!

Not nearly as much as my current self, though. I got compliment after compliment on my "red top" all day long when I wore this bright number to school. I guess my wish of owning a Sugar Lips "top" came true after all.

Thank you, Sugar Lips, for making my seventh grade popularity contest dreams come true and for fulfilling my current self's fashion craving! This dress...erm, top... will be perfect for ANY season :)

p.s. They still sell those perfect seamless tank tops....

Exactly six months ago today, I turned sixteen. But turning "sixteen" wasn't what made this birthday so special. The best night of my life was the birthday party my parents through for me: all of my friends, most of my grade, my extended family, and more came to celebrate my sweet sixteen with me! But the craziest part (and the part that proves just how gullible I am!) is that it was a SURPRISE party.  Long story short, my parents told me I was going to a modelling gig...and I believed them! I got all gussied up in a party dress (yep, the one pictured here! These pictures were actually taken the day of my party, or "shoot" as I thought I was going to!). My mom put countless hours of hard work into making it the best night of my life...and boy did she succeed! When I walked into the giant ballroom, I was scared that I'd walked into someone else's party and I started to back up. Then it hit me--my birthday was two days away, and suddenly all of the little hints that I hadn't picked up on came rushing at me--including an exchange student slipping up the first week of school and flat out asking me if "that was my party" she'd gotten an invite for. I just couldn't believe that something so wonderful would happen to someone like me, so I didn't pick up on the subtle hints. And of course, seeing my best friend Hannah emerge from the sea of people gave it away. Can you believe my parents pulled off the surprise?? Six months later and I still remember every little detail and perfect moment from that night! Thank you for millionth time, Mom and Dad <3

Today is also special for another birthday-related reason. My beloved puppy, Ellie, is ONE YEAR OLD! I've had her for nearly 10 months now and her quirks and qualities have won a special place in my heart. The picture at the end is her in her younger days. Is she cute, or what?

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!
