Recently I was invited to an awesome trip and party with a group of really great gal pals for a holiday party and I had a blast! As we go through our daily lives the holidays creep ever closer before it gets ready to pounce and there are many things that come to mind when you think of the winter holidays such as food, friends, family, wine, resolutions, gifts, parties, and all the fabulous new clothes that come with a new season! If you’re of the more childish inclined you will probably end up dressed as santa’s helper just to get a chuckle or two- those pointed shoes only come in style once a year after all so why not take full advantage of them?!

But I’m not here to talk about my fetish for Christmas apparel but more to talk about this wonderful little number from Modern Gypsy that brought to mind the holiday spirit but with a touch of glamor and chicness that I just couldn’t pass up on. The texture of the dress is a ruffled chiffon that surprisingly does not make you look shapeless but hugs your body so lovingly with the help of the cinched thick waistline integrated in the dress. The gold brings to mind the starry night sky and festive colors of the new years parties or fully decorated Christmas trees that shine as bright as the sun. I decided to go all out with the gold and got a pair of Gold pumps from Armidi and a wonderfully crafted large garnet necklace that might as well have been designed just for that dress. Definitely a look that one should have in their closets to get ready for all those holiday shindigs. Do you think you can honestly resist such a luscious design?!
