Thanks for the love on Little Miss’s closet post yesterday….it sounds like many of us are doing some Spring cleaning and organizing! But after a day of purging and projects, I love getting cleaned-up and heading out for a Date Night. Lucky we now have a built-in babysitter! #teenagerperks
With the weather finally warming up, Mr. SP and I headed to one of our favorite spots with a patio…and I didn’t waste any time pulling a Spring dress out!

I seem to gravitate to this swingy style for dinner dates (see another favorite here)…the exposed shoulders make it flattering, but the flowy fit allows room for dinner and dessert! It’s also easy to dress up or down a bit, and appropriate for most evening parties. I was really surprised by the quality and extra touches, given the price tag! It comes in a lovely black and white floral, but I thought the navy and coral was a fun combo for Spring.
Fit Tip: The dress runs a tad big, but mostly true-to-size…I’m wearing an XS and it hits just above the knee. Since it’s a little big for me up-top #noboobs, I wore this strapless bra so it wouldn’t show in the armholes.




But he also has the power to make my entire body relax, just by holding my hand.





Mr. SP almost-always opts for jeans and gingham shirt…in fact, his gingham collection rivals mine! One of the great things about Dallas, is pretty much anything goes at most places.




I’m so excited Spring is finally here to stay, and can’t wait for more patio dates! To see more of our {Date Night Style}, click here. And check out my Big D link for more of our favorite spots & eats. I get so many emails about the area, so I hope to continue adding great local spots as another source for those of you visiting! Who else is busting out Spring dresses for a night out?
Thank you for the lovely photos, Stephanie Drenka!
