Who here goes on dates any more? Okay, hm that sounded sad the way I worded that. Let me try that again: Who here has gone on a date since 2020? Nope still sounding sad. Who here hates paying a babysitter and ends up just putting your kid to bed for free and then call frozen pizza and Netflix a date? Okay — this is not going well; I’m going to stop now.

That last scenario? It’s us. And are we happy with that? Yeah, honestly most of the time but dang I miss going on dates. Getting all dressed up and fancy for a date night. So you know what? We planned a date this past weekend, my mom watched Gems and we made ourselves some reservations. We did it, you guys, we went on a date like two young kids in love. And I got to wear this pretty dress that I’ve been dying to wear. This is one of those dresses that you kind of need a reason for. Date night seemed reason enough for me.

I am in the large of this dress but need the medium…which is what I realized after wearing it. Womp wimp. But let my mistake help you! It doesn’t necessarily ‘stretch’ out with wear but it does loosen and so I would suggest a true to size fit, just understand it is more fitted. I would suggest smoothing underwear underneath but overall it’s doesn’t cling or highlight bumps and lumps. Find it in the navy and white combo here OR more colors at Nordstrom here!

I am in the large of the dress — but I need a medium! I was afraid it would be too tight but it’s not! True to size for the shoes.

    I’m dying to arrange a date with you here…To flirt with that pretty dress in navy letting it stretch on your sweet skin. I would suggest removing underwear underneath to avoid highlighting bumps and lumps…
    Full of kisses.

  2. That color block dress looks stunning! The way it contrasts navy and white is so eye-catching and elegant. And those sandals are the perfect match – the neutral tones complement the dress beautifully. It’s great to hear you had a chance to dress up and enjoy a date night; sometimes those little moments of normalcy make all the difference!
