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?
