Lookbook: Date Night Outfit

I wanted to do an outfit post with my H & M striped tank dress from my previous post because I wanted to actually style it compared to me taking a photo in the fitting room. Here is an outfit for date night! This dress is VERY sexy and very outside of my comfort zone so bear with me:)

Dress: H & M tank dress- size 2 (similar HERE and HERE)
Sweater: Aqua Girls Cashmere Bolero- size Large (BLACK or CREAM)
Shoes: BCBG Patent Pumps– size 5
Purse: Chanel Medium Flap (my new love)

Here’s a shot of me showing off my new purse…LOL

I added the cashmere shrug because I tend to get cold no matter where I go- especially at night. This shrug is so versatile and I have worn it so much, it’s already pilling up!
Since this is a casual tank dress, I figured I’d dress it up with some peep toe pumps and my Chanel.
  
Here is me messing around w/black and white….
I still can’t believe this tank dress is only $12.95! Hubby was very pleased with this outfit! I still think it’s too sexy but the shrug/bolero definitely helps cover up.
 
After a full meal, I have to majorly suck in my stomach..LOL This dress is so fitted, it shows everything!
 
Here’s the dress by itself. Since the colors are black and white striped, I thought it would be cool to turn it into a B/W photo!
 
 
Wanted to show the fit of the back….
        
I couldn’t decide black or cream cashmere shrug so I tried both on to show everyone. I like both! I just lucked out recently when I found this shrug lingering online late at night. Those of you who chat with me on Twitter know how lucky I got! I got it for around $30 for cashmere!!! It’s one of my best buys this year!
OMG– I just love love love my new purse! It’s the perfect size and you can adjust the strap to any length. I made it this length so I can carry in my hand or on my shoulder.
        
Sorry if anyone got sick of all my photos! I just didn’t have the patience to go thru each one and pick. It’s not often I do an evening outfit so I was quite nervous about how these would turn out. 
Here’s how to recreate this look:

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Too sexy? Do you prefer this dress with the black or cream cashmere bolero?

  1. It is a sexy dress but I think you wear it well! Love how you accessorized to make it more classy. And I like it with the black shrug because it matches your accessories 🙂

  2. you are so chic! i think it's perfectly sexy, really emphasizes your curves but you tone it down with the shrug. i don't think it looks too over-the-top without the shrug. the chanel purse perfectly accentuates the outfit 😀

  3. I remember Kim Kardashian wore a similar dress a while ago so you totally remind me of the sexiness of Kim in this outfit!! I want your body lol! ok not like physically cuz that's weird but you know what I mean haha

  4. omg you look so hot! you husband is a lucky man. loving your new purse…if i didn't already tell u 😉 heehee

  5. The dress looks fabulous on you.. i wonder how it would look with a blazer? I like the black shrug best. 🙂 keep rocking it!!

  6. You look lovely! And sexay when you take that shrug off hehe!

    That Chanel purse totally adds a lot! I love how accessories do that..like you can wear that striped dress with a canvas tote and sandals.. oooor with a super chic Chanel purse and pumps!

  7. YOU ARE STUNNING!!!! CHECK OUT THOSE LEGS and that FIGURE! I wish I had legs like yours! I love this outfit! 🙂

  8. Ooops I signed on my private email and accidentally blog commented, it's April, my first full name is Maryapril. 🙂

  9. Love, love, love this dress on you!!! I prefer the white shrug over the black one. Best is without. 🙂 There is no such thing as "too sexy". We should celebrate as women. You look fantastic!

  10. The dress is really pretty! I'm usually against dresses that have horizontal stripes but it looks amazing on you. The purse matches the outfit very well also.
