Outfit: Autism One- Day 2 of 3

I told you about my first day at Autism One a few days ago. Here is what I wore to the second day I attended:

Top: Alloy (old), Shorts: Old Navy, Shoes: Forever 21, Bag: Coach (similar) (similar) (similar), Earrings: Swap w/ Kaitlyn, Wrist Wraps: C/O Kristin Hassan, Gold Band ring: Kohls, Sunnies: Loft (similar) (similar)

I did much better at the second day of Autism One. I was beyond overwhelmed the first day and truth be told I woke up not wanting to get out of bed.
I obviously did, made myself go back and listed to a lecture titled "Food With Benefits" given by Sueson Vess.  I am so glad I did, this was a great lecture! I took so many helpful notes, met up with the speaker, and got her cookbook after it was over (I also got a few new food products that I'll share with you here when I try them out).
The most important info I took away from this day was:
-Eat food from plants, not made in plants. (eat foods that will rot)
Seems obvious right? Well I can't tell you how many times in the past few days I've went to eat something and been made aware of the fact I'm not as healthy as I think. Try it, go through your day and see how much processed food you actually eat!
-Eat animals that ate leaves/plants.
-Eat fermented foods (good gut bacteria)
There were so many more helpful hints given to me at this lecture, but if I can pass the best info along, it's the above 3 points.
After listening and then shopping, we (myself, Nicolette of Momnivore's Dilemma, and a new mommy friend) then went to whole food and got a few items too. All and all, I finished this day feeling much more positive and more importantly, hopeful. ;)

*Check back tomorrow for my third and final day at Autism One. (I met Jenny McCarthy!!)

Holiday Outfit

Dress: MNG by Mango, Jacket: The Desert Foxx's shop my closet, Shoes: Alloy, Tights: Modcloth, Necklace: Jewelmint, Ring: TplusJ Designs, Earrings: House of Harlow, Bag: Michael Kors

This was my Christmas Eve look. I love that this jacket was bought from a fellow blogger's shop my closet section and I think it was the perfect color for a holiday outfit!
I kept it simple yet classy in this black wrap dress with black and gold detail accessories. I know it's a bit matchy matchy with the gold and black ring, necklace, earrings, and bag, but it all looked so good together as I set the outfit out on my bed.
By hour 8 I was second guessing my choice of 5 inch heels, but all and all I loved this look. What do you think? (I felt a bit retro sturdiest, but in a good way;)

Lake house chic

Top: Alloy (swap c/o Kaitlyn)
Tank: Express
Jeans: E Street Denim
Shoes: Target
Necklace: Jewelmint
Ring: Lia Sophia
Sunnys: MNG by Mango

We were at the hubby's family lake house over the long weekend and this was my outfit for walking and heading down to the lake. I don't wear flats super often, but when you're doing a lot of walking you have to be smart. (let me say though, I could and have walked miles in some of my heels....I'm just saying ;)
I got these jeans the day before at E Street Denim. I love this store! What I love even more is a great sale. Jeans were all 50% off and if you buy 2 or more pair they were 75% off! I just got one pair, but I'm in love with the wash and color. I also love that I don't have to alter these, as I alter most of my jeans! Double yay!

Blouse: Express
Shorts: Old Navy
Shoes: Alloy
Necklace: Piperlime
Quartz Ring: Free People
Gold band ring: kohls
Bag: Forever 21
Watch: Fossil

I just had to have this blouse when I saw it in Express's fall catalog! I've never been huge on animal print, but something clicked this past summer and now I just can't get enough! ;)
I had to come up with a look that was good for dinner, a movie, and out for drinks with my hubby's old co-workers. I was super glad I brought a black pashmina with me because I used it as covers in the movie and it was a bit cooler at night too! All and all I felt sexy and well dressed for all 3 destinations! What do you think, yay or neigh?
