It's a date!

On Sunday, my husband and I actually got to go on a date!  This will be number 3 in the past 7 1/2 months.  That's a sad statistic folks. :)
We went to my favorite restaurant of all time, Lighthorse Tavern.  Their menu is seasonal so it changes every 3 months, but I have yet to try something I don't like!




I was so excited to get dressed up.  As I'm sure you have noticed, I never pass up an opportunity to wear a skirt!


I just finished making the skirt this morning and was so excited to wear it out!  I was so proud when my mother in law, who was a seamstress, asked me where I bought my skirt and was shocked when I told her I made it myself!  Best compliment ever. :)

Sweater - Ann Taylor, Tank - Calvin Klein, Skirt - self made, 
Tights - HUE, Shoes - Shoe Dazzle, 
Jewelry - Judith Ripka and Pandora

Of course, in true mommy fashion, Peanut spit up all over it as soon as I got home - good thing I only work with machine washable fabrics!! lol

  8. Great outfit! The red shoes add that perfect zazz. The skirt, obviously, is completely adorable.
    Also, well done on date night, which I know is a feat easier said than done. Honestly, based on the moms I know, your date night stats are pretty good.

  16. Awesome skirt! It looks gorgeous with the red heels. It must be a prerequisite that our kids spew on us when we are wearing our best clothes. ;)

    i look back to times when my kids were babies and spitting up all over.... seems like they were born yesterday... i know everybody says it, but how fast it went!! just yesterday, i was alone with my 7 year old peanut and we decided to look through his baby book, he wanted to see and touch his hair from his first haircut. he had the softest baby hair. i guess he wanted to make sure i was telling the truth?? lol
