The Perfect ‘Convertible’ for Summer
Written by Urban Sherp on July 2nd, 2009
Who: Lara Miller; Chicago, IL
What: Donna Dress Mini (Maxi also available)
Where: Haute Line, $235 in onyx, fuschia or cobalt; the print dress size (L) is on sale at Kaight for $169.40, cobalt available at pivotboutique.com for $244; at embodies for $242 & 15% off with code WHTAPT05
Why: Three fabulous dresses all wrapped up in one. This super flattering dress can be worn as a cinched waist strapless, a sexy halter or a casual day dress with a flirty tie front. The long tie at the waist also leaves room for creativity; create a criss-crossed halter by crossing the straps across the chest or adding a big bow to a strapless instead of a cinched waist. All sorts of possibilities!
The well thought out design also has ever-so-convenient pockets tucked into the folds, so you can forgo cumbersome clutches while out and about. The skirt is made of 100% certified organic cotton and the top is made of 94% certified organic cotton.
Convertible dresses are all the rage right now allowing you to personalize your look and survive with a few less dresses in the closet. Great for ligthening your suitcase as one dress can satisfy a bevvy of looks. Added accessories like wide belts, boleros, and jewelry allow for even greater versatility.
