Convertible diva dress: 8 ways to wear it

Do you often find yourself standing in front of your closet staring at the same couple of blouses, pants and dresses? You rotate between your options, mix it up a bit, but still wish you had something new to wear more often than not. Well, ladies, with the creation of the Convertible Diva Dress, your dreams just came true.

This eight-in-one dress is incredibly versatile; it can be worn short sleeved, cap sleeved, sleeveless, halter-style, twisted straps, strapless, belted at the side or back, or as a simple skirt, also belted at the side.

It only comes in black, which is great because you can pair it with multicolored jewels, funky shoes or a patterned kimono. The Diva Dress can be worn in both a casual or upscale setting, depending on how you choose to style and accessorize it.

Here are some outfits we put together for you:

For the beach

Instead of a standard cover-up, wear the eight-in-one dress as a skirt and show off that beach bod you’ve been working hard for all winter. If you’re not fully comfortable walking around in just a bikini, throw on a loose-knit crochet top as well. This way, you’re a bit more covered up, but are still able to feel a cool breeze while baking under the sizzling sun. Strap on your best beach sandals and a floppy hat and you’re ready for those salty ocean waves.

If you’re planning to hit the boardwalk after the beach, replace your bikini and crochet top with a sleeveless blouse and you’re ready to shop till you drop.

For the office

To keep your outfit appropriate for the workplace, style the dress so it has capped sleeves. You’ll look both sophisticated and chic as you enter the boardroom for your company meeting. Adorn your neckline with a statement necklace and matching bracelet. If you go the colorful route with your jewels, keep your shoes neutral tone. Try a pair of comfortable flats, or show off your spring pedicure by slipping on a pair of dressy sandals.

For a date night

Halter tops offer an interesting neckline and present you with the opportunity to show a little skin while still looking elegant. To highlight those collar bones, style your dress like a halter top. Avoid a necklace because you already have a lot going on up there, so opt for a delicate pair of chandelier earrings instead. Cover up with a lightweight cardigan, and slip on your best pair of wedge heels for some extra height.

For a ladies night

If you’re going out for dinner and drinks with your best girlfriends, style your eight-in-one into a strapless dress. Get creative with your jewels and wear a beaded bib necklace in a rainbow of colors. Strut your stuff in a pair of gladiator sandals, but make sure the color doesn’t conflict with your necklace. Keep a jean jacket with you in case your arms get chilly in the restaurant.

Now that you have a trusty dress that can be styled eight different ways, you always have options.
