Posted on December 16, 2011 | 4 Comments
Every December I look for a special dress I like to call my "December Dress". This is the dress that I wear on my birthday as well as to the annual Google Holiday Party. When I go "December Dress" shopping, I usually don't have a particular style in mind -- just whatever catches my eye.

I've been making mix CDs for my mom ever since I got my first CD burner sometime in the 90s. One of my favorites is a Christmas mix that has a song about a lonely Christmas tree. My mom really liked this song after hearing it once on the radio, but she didn't know most of the lyrics. I eventually surprised her with it in my mix CD.

I was looking for a dress to wear for Thanksgiving, and I was hoping this would be it! This goldenrod Fluted Ponte Dress is by Girls from Savoy. The heavier fabric and 3/4 sleeves makes this a great dress for colder weather! If you're a fan of vintage/retro clothing, definitely try this dress on next time you shop at Anthropologie.
