It's a Beautiful (OOT) Day!

Last night, my fiancĂ© and I went to see U2 in concert at Heinz Field.  Before we left, I struggled with what to wear.  I really wanted to wear a dress, but I so rarely get to channel my inner rocker girl vibe, so I went with something a little edgier instead.  Here's what I wore (no Polyvore for this one because hardly any of the outfit is available anymore):

Sunglasses: Michael Kors
Tank: J.Crew Perfect fit tank
Vest: NY&Co.
Jeans: NY&Co.
Shoes: Candies for Kohls
Necklace and earrings: handmade from a local farmers' market

Here's a close-up of the earrings:
Like I stated above, I got the earrings and necklace at a local farmers' market.  I definitely wasn't expecting to find jewelry there, and I got the set for $10!  I love the earrings because they're like little wind chimes in my ears, and they kind of give off a boho vibe. 

Fashion question:  Have you ever found something fashionable when you weren't even looking?

Ok, on to the concert.  U2 was on my concert bucket list, and my fiancĂ© and I share a love for their music.  The stage setup was ridonkulous.  It took the crew four days to set up what the local media referred to as "The Claw":
U2 took the stage around 10 after 9, and they played until almost midnight.  It was a great show.  For me, the highlight was Bono singing a verse of Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah," which the band used to segway into "Where the Streets Have No Name."  The show could've ended there and I would've been happy.  But, the played for another 40 minutes!

Are any of you U2 fans?  Have you had a chance to check them out on their 360 tour?
