Thinking Outside the Festively Wrapped Box

    If you're like me, you've probably just realized that October is almost over and you're thinking one of two things or, again like me, you're thinking both at the same time:

a.  Oh my gosh!  What happened to the year?!  The holidays are almost here!!
OR
b.  Ugh!  I'm not ready for it to be the holidays again!

    Well, like it or not and ready or not, the holidays are just around the corner.  Last year, I was totally spent with drama and travel and time adjustments that our holiday consisted of a Thanksgiving shared with total strangers and Christmas spent trying to hide from as many people as possible.  Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I felt totally out of sorts and disconnected last year.  This year, I've done a lot of healing and growing and I think I do this....maybe...probably....anyway, I've been doing a little preemptive holiday dress shopping and I think this year, I'm looking for something that works for Christmas, but I could also wear during the rest of the year. 
    Enter the Margaret Dress in Tulip print from KarinaDresses.com  This dress is longer than I typically wear, but the slinky fabric makes it so flattering, I don't feel lost in it the way I normally do with longer dresses.  The fluttery short sleeves are so comfy and the fabric is thick enough that I don't need a slip to hide lines.  It hugs my curves in all the right places and those bright red tulips are really going to pop on those gray December days.  I really love this dress and KarinaDresses has so many great styles, I think this shop is really going places.
