The next few weeks will likely be filled with lots of "Nutcracker" matinees, trips to see one, or maybe two judgmental grannies ("Oh, I see they're letting the little girls wear slacks these days."), over-populated holiday dinners and family photo sessions at that "studio" in the mall. Here's a dress that could get you through a lot of the aforementioned odiousness with a smile on your face. Seeing your girl in this vibrant cotton wrap dress by Wild Carrots is an instant mood elevator (and a much safer one than that spiked egg nog). Hook it up with a dark turtleneck and a pair of leggings and boots and she'll outshine them all. This one has holiday flair, sure, but it could also be tucked into an under-the-bed box until the weather's warm enough to pair it with capris and sandals.
$48, Grasshopper.
