I'll take a Houston Winter over a Dallas Winter. You can't base a comparison of weather on just Labor Day weekend.
I will take Dallas winter over Houston anyday, I mean at least Dallas has some type of "seasonal weather", winter with snow sometimes and pretty cool falls. Houston is most humid and hot from late spring to early fall. Only November thru early March (sometimes mid Feb when the crisp weather ends depends on the year) is okay.
Fashion/Style: Dallas was very conservative and boring I notice. We all went to the Dallas Galleria (Houstons is better!!!) and the ritzy Stonebriar Centre in suburban Frisco and my friends and I was like, wow, the people here are very kakis and polo shirts or plan Librarian types. Not alternative or stylish fashionistas like you see more in Houston.>>
You went to the wrong places! :-) Most of the people I see walking around the Galleria (Yes, I think Houston's is better) are from out of town. You'll see trendier Dallasites closer in to the city. Stonbriar? Forget it! Most are transplants to Texas when you get that far out, and Stonebriar is just a typical suburban mall, IMO. You'd get a better idea of what you're looking for even at Northpark. But for "trendy", you need to visit the young, singles areas of Dallas...Uptown, for example. For alternative fashion, maybe lower Greenville.
Next time you visit Dallas explore East Dallas/Lakewood, the Cedars/Lamar south of downtown (and downtown itself) and North Oak Cliff. I think you would like Henderson Avenue especially (runs from Knox and Park Cities into East Dallas and practically merges with Lower Greenville).
Besides, how can you go to Dallas and not visit White Rock Lake? Houston has nothing like our lake!
Yes, yes, yes! I'm reading Stonebriar Mall and Beltline in Addison and thinking the poster really didn't see Dallas!
