Today was my mums 50th birthday, not that she would be happy about me sharing that with all of the internet (well, those who actually read this silly blog). For weeks, and even months, maybe even years, my mum has been dreading and complaining about the "Big Fifty"; I think she was pleasantly surprised at how normal the whole affair was.
Ain't she a beauty? I can't believe she's 50 either. This woman is so inspiring to me and I really don't know what I would do without her. Keep on kickin' mama.
Anyways, love my mum to death, I hope she had a wonderful day. I on the other hand, did not.
In the weeks prior to the Big Day, I spent hours and hours making a dress for my moms birthday present. I went and bought really nice fabric, made sure to take my time with the whole ordeal, and when it came time for her to try it on it didn't fit.
I have not cried in quite some time (aside from my weakness for tear jerking movies); today I ended that streak. I have never been so frustrated in my life.
Now I'm ranting, I apologize.
Long story short, mum got no present from me this year, and not due to lack of effort. I hope she'll forgive me, and that it didn't put a damper in her mood today.
Just a little side note, another happy birthday to Maureen, another inspiring woman whom I'm lucky to know.

As for the fashion related part of this post, my grandma took out my mom, brother, and I to celebrate the day. Here is what I wore.
The shirt is new from work. We had an amazing sale on and I couldn't resist. It's hard to tell from the picture but the neckline is very similar to that of my elephant pantsuit. Also, the front has delicate lace and embroidery. It's really quite nice, I'm surprised it has found itself in my closet.
Turns out I was a little underdressed for the venue but it was a nice lunch all the same.
Tomorrow I will be attending my first ever Gaga concert, I look forward to showing you what I've decided to sport for the event.
