Last Sunday my guy and I went to see Lady Gaga. It was quite enjoyable despite our horrible seats. She really put on a great show and I was most pleased with having gone. I didn’t really get her when she first appeared on the international music scene, and it’s really only been over the last six months that I’ve been coming to the conclusion she’s not actually a useless over-commercialised, untallented idiot. She actually writes her songs, plays instruments and, as I was witness to it, can sing (very well, actually). While dancing almost continuously, I might add, which is incredibly difficult (trust me, I’ve tried doing it while home alone and it’s pretty freakin’ exhausting). So, basically, I love her now. And I can’t stop listening to her albums, either. She’s the first woman I’ve seen live, too, which is kind of cool, I think.

Anyway, this week has been pretty busy at university, but it’s going to get much busier over the coming weeks. I have mid-terms coming up and assignments to start/finish, etc. To keep my sanity I’ve been reading for leisure daily, but I don’t get to do much in terms of hobbies (i.e. finish crocheting fingerless gloves) and that makes me feel a bit off. Luckily I don’t have much time to think about it.

I shall leave you with a little What I Wore Today thing. I don’t do this nearly as much as I should, but now that I have a decent camera on my phone I think I’ll be more inclined to, haha.

Top from Glassons.
Skirt made by me from a New Look pattern.
Black pantyhose.
Not pictured are the black ballet flats and the black cardigan with pink ribbon detail.

I love the pockets on the skirt because they are so super-handy!

The weather was gorgeous today, as it has been for most of the last week. I’m trying to make the most of every sunny day because usually the weather turns to crap in September/October.

Hope you’ve all had a fabulous day!

I wore this for about an hour before going out, but it was too cold and wet for a skirt in the end! I traded it for a pair of gray plaid trousers teamed with black brogues and a black, double-breasted coat. My friend, her boyfriend and I went to see The Hangover. I’m so pleased it wasn’t one of those stupid-funny films! It was intelligently funny and actually a great story.

Last night was the perfect night for snuggling on the couch watching a romantic movie — the weather was wet and very windy (our chicken coop was blown over, but the chickens are all fine). TV One aired The Very Thought of You, a nice romantic comedy with Joseph Fiennes, whom I’ve decided to marry. He’s adorable and very sexy.

So, without further ado, this is what I wore today…

• Pink singlet from Valley Girl
• Black cardi from Jay Jays
• Grey plaid shorts from Jay Jays ($5 bargain!)
• Black pantyhose
• Not pictured: black ballet flat shoes and purple scarf

Have a great weekend!
