Holiday dress-up

I don't dress up like a lady very often. Or ever. Come Christmas my mom would love if I donned a dress. Or a heel. Or more jewelry. Or more make-up. Long story short, she'd love for me to look more like a lady. Like my potential.

It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid I can't pull off a dress. There'd be too many comments. 

LEAVE ME ALONE I JUST LIKED THIS DRESS AND FELT LIKE WEARING IT IF YOU KEEP COMMENTING ON MY LOOKS I WILL NEVER WEAR A DRESS AGAIN LEAVE ME ALOOOOOONE!!

Instead I'll frolic in dresses vicariously through this post. Key to me with dresses are sleeves, knee-lengths, color/pattern, and the term "machine wash". I present to you some lovely dresses I cannot wear on Christmas day:
