Outfit of the Day: Autumn Flavored Cat Print For a Cat Filled Day!

So the weekend before last was one filled with lots of mixed emotions.

On Sunday Tim and I started the day by going to the Internet Cat Video Festival in San Jose. It was a completely packed theater but we were glad to be sitting inside an actual theater and not watching it outside as I've heard some other cat video festivals do it. The festival was a lot of fun. One hour full of internet cat videos. Some really silly, some really funny, and some a little more serious. I mainly was interested in the slice of life videos that caught cats doing crazy and funny things, but some of the videos were more put together like actual movies with actual stories. There were even some animated short movies shown. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I would definitely go back again next year if I can!

After the cat video festival Tim and I went out to lunch. I picked a nearby New Orleans style restaurant, Poor House Bistro. The food was pretty good. I ordered beignets and a muffaletta (a salami and ham sandwich with lots of olives), and Tim ordered the sampler platter which came with gumbo, red beans and rice, jambalaya, and corn bread. We were surprised to see the place was so hopping! They had a zydeco band set up and playing just outside in the seating area out there. Overall they did a great job with the ambiance of the place. It felt just like being in New Orleans!

The next stop was the Dancing Cat cat cafe, our real reason for leaving the house that day! You can see my post on our last day at the Dancing Cat here.


Outfit of the Day:
For this day's activities I knew I had to wear another cat related outfit. I knew just the piece! I got this skirt by Retrolicious for my birthday with a gift certificate for Modcloth from my friend. It's one of the best cat prints ever... kitties and books, oh my! The hues on this are so autumn so I knew it would be the perfect one to wear this autumn weekend before the winter comes in full force. I paired this skirt with a black knit sweater top by Kling which I also got from Modcloth last year. To stay warm I also paired this with black tights and a red cardigan which I got a couple years back from Nordstrom Rack. I picked some red flats by Ecco to wear this with it. I finally found my perfect red flats! I found these on ebay after years of searching for just this pair!
