Jessica Simpson swung by a Dillard's to host a spring style event benefiting The Boys And Girls Clubs Of Waco, TX on Saturday.

The Abilene-born 36-year-old had slid on a tight black dress with sheer lacy fabric over the sleeves and a V-neck that threw her cleavage into relief.

She'd brought along her husband Eric Johnson and their two children: a five-year-old daughter called Maxwell and a three-year-old son called Ace.

Jessica Simpson hosted a spring style event at Dillard's department store in her native Texas and she turned heads in a black romper by Lovers + Friends.

The sultry number had lace sleeves, a ladder cutout design and a scallop edge hem that we adore. Perfect for a summer date night, we'd team it with a pair of barely there sandals and a lightweight leather jacket.

It's available at Dillard's (natch) for $178 so follow the link at right to scoop it up now. And if this exact one doesn't suit your fancy, we've got plenty more just like it in the carousel below.

Bebe's romper is nearly identical to the original for only $129 or try a plunge neck version by Brigitte Bailey at Zappos for less than $100.

Jessica's neckline was flanked by strips of sheer fabric that met and slid together down her midriff, ultimately meeting a similar sheer strip encircling her waistline.

Serrated lacy frill garnished her hem, which was cut off at about mid-thigh, and she'd completed her look with a stylish pair of black ankle-strap stilettos.

Her husband, whom she'd married in 2014, showcased his toned arms in a short-sleeved button-down shirt patterned in a cloudy silver and a pale blue.

The 37-year-old erstwhile NFL tight end had slipped on a slightly faded pair of fossil grey trousers, popping on a pale green-rimmed pair of black shoes. 

Maxwell, who was born two years before her parents' wedding, got to spend a bit of time sitting on her father's shoulders with a cowboy hat on her head.

Jessica posed at one point with Maxwell, Jessica's sister Ashlee Simpson, Ashlee's daughter Jagger, Jessica and Ashlee's mother Tina and Tina's mother Dorothy.

Tina Simpson, 56, wore a cocktail dress with floral lacy sheer sleeves and a matching section that stretched from mid-thigh until the hem just below the knee.

Dorothy Drew had wrapped on a scarf designed in various shades of blue, contrasting a blue cardigan and blue top against black slacks and open-toe shoes.

Jessica had celebrated Dorothy's birthday on Instagram this past Tuesday, posting a photo of them smiling together as they sat outside in the sun.

'Happy Birthday to my prayer warrior and soulmate, Nana - Dorothy Jane Drew. I can't wait to shop around with you!' Jessica trumpeted in her caption. 

She got in a plug for the weekend event, writing: 'Everyone come out to meet us and the rest of the family this Saturday, May 6th from 1-3PM @dillards in Waco!'

Dorothy in the photo wore a zebra-print blouse over black slacks, whilst Jessica showed off her legs in short-shorts, boots and a peppy flannel shirt.
