Hurrying home to Park Slope, I ducked into the Goldy+Mac boutique to take shelter from the freezing wind. Browsing the racks, hands numb, I was instantly taken by Soda Blu’s Gold Dot Empire Dress. Twirling around the dressing room, I loved the subdued bronze mixed with fun, eye-catching gold polka dots. And the sweeping back showed off just enough skin while the ribbon belt defined my waist. I could almost imagine myself mingling in this silk, knee-length frock at my office holiday party. And with the $80 price tag, I’d have enough leftover cash for a new pair of shoes. 219 Fifth Ave., at President St., Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-230-5603.
