Three cheers for Tuesdays! I love sharing “It’s a Date” especially when it gets a little bit dressy! I am a girly girl at heart and while I love my distressed jean shorts and t-shirts, I also really adore wearing a pretty dress and heels. this past week was my birthday week so we were able to go out on the town and enjoy. I absolutely love this little black dress. It’s reminds me of Joseph and The Coat of Many Colors . . . because this dress comes in a ton of different colors! I went for the classic black and have worn it so many times.
I really do love this dress. I first posted about it here. Do you remember? It has a gold zipper all the way down the back which gives it a bit of an edge. But it’s such a soft and comfortable dress. I really would like it in the hot pink, too! So darn cute.
This week we enjoyed getting dressed up and heading to Newport Coast. We had a birthday cocktail at Javier’s and then headed to Blue Fin for sushi.
Date Night Hot Spot: Javier’s in Newport has an awesome atmosphere. Fantastic outdoor patio with a fire pit and great ambiance. It always gets very crowded so we like to go fairly early for a drink and people watch on the patio as everyone rolls in. Then we walk across the way to Blue Fin. We are huge sushi fans and it’s always a treat to eat there. It has a nice quiet atmosphere and is perfect for date night conversation.
Date Night Question of the Week: This week I posed the question. If we had to pick up and move today to somewhere else in the country where would you want to move? Let me start out by clarifying for all of my family. . .we are not moving! We love where we are. But it was so much fun to talk about this. And we made the assumption that we would have jobs and so that wouldn’t matter. We definitely differed on this! One of us said Charleston and one of us said Charlotte. Want to guess who said what?!

I definitely wear these heels all the time. I think they have made an appearance on the blog a handful of times. Just so comfy despite the heel height.

If this look is a bit dressier than you like to be, I pulled together a more casual version below. I think it still maintains the feminine, sexy look but in a different way. And it includes some great sale items.

It was so much fun to get dressed up this week. I LOVE wearing this dress. But something tells me that next week we will stick to a pretty casual date. I have the perfect outfit in mind. Have a great day, my friends.
UPDATE: My favorite dress from this date night is now marked down to $40. Bam!
I’m hoping that Pittsburgh was at least a passing consideration! There would be excellent jobs for both of you there and the kiddos would only be 3 hours away instead of 10!
Love you,
Sue
Of course! Never off the table. . . but not sure we can pull the PA boy away from CA at this point.
I love that dress! And that necklace! I’m going to have to steal your idea of having a date night question. I would want to move to Southern California and I feel like my husband would want to move to Colorado!
I’m so happy you are going to do the question. it really is so fun to chat about all of these things. We have friends that are moving to Colorado soon. I have heard such good things. But I am all about getting you to move to CA! xo
Darling!! We have a Javiers here…wonder if they are the same? I’m so glad you had a great bday weekend…happiest of birth weeks, my friend!!
You look amazing. Love the dress. For selfish reasons I would hope Charlotte…3 hours from me! But, I would drive further to visit if it was Charleston. Love that city!!
I’ve been loving your “It’s a Date” series! You have inspired me and my husband to go on more date nights as well. Your blog is definitely and inspiration for sure. Keep up the good work!
