Look of the Day: Two Thumbs Up

Yesterday I worked at the local soup kitchen, setting up, preparing and serving food and cleaning up. Local businesses and farms donate the food, that we bag up to give to families, as well as serve them lunch. I have volunteered there and the food bank, it's super fun and they always need help and donations.
For dinner Casey and I went back to the same restaurant that I went to the previous night. I guess I have been eating out a lot lately. There have just been a lot of new restaurant openings and reasons to go out. My favorite part about the new restaurants is that they all buy their produce from local farms.
Since that means so much to me, and I am fortunate enough to be able to eat out when I feel like, I like to support businesses like that. The brothers that owned the resturant were so pleased that I came back they sent over a dessert! I forget what it was called but it was pumpkin and so good! I can't wait to go back again.
For dinner I wore a F21 top. After I purchase this top I saw on Kim's blog and the Look 4 Less as lower priced version of an Anthro top. Sweet! I just loved the big bow.

Oh...look who popped in!
Forever 21 top (I no longer see it online) , J Brand Jeggings, and Kenneth Cole wedges.
I'm not a big dessert person, but I love pumpkin pie and this tasted just like it.
I definitely gave this two thumbs up.

    I've volunteered at soup kitchens before, and it seriously is a fun time. Glad you got the opportunity to do it. Also glad you got the opportunity to eat that awesome looking dessert. I'd be at that restaurant every night if I were you!

    I'm so glad to see the F21 bow top on you! I ordered it too, and was dying to see how you styled it. Without sounding like a weirdo, do you mind me asking if you wore a regular bra, or strapless with it? It has a wide neck and you can see bra straps...wondering what you did?

    You look adorable!!

    THANKS LADIES!

    Kim- the neck opening is not that big but I did wear a tank underneath that covered my bra straps. I guess my pony hid the strap in all the pictures but it wasn't really an problem. But I think I am less boobie then you! lol!
