I know you’ve seen it if you’ve recently been shopping. The convertible dress. The label shows, “multiple uses! Wear it as a dress and a skirt!” But ultimately, it is your decision. Are you the girl that is s seen wearing the cute strapless dress one day and a week later wearing a skirt of the same material the next?
Lapis Girl A097 Dress
I haven’t quite decided. Oh wait, yes I have. I am that girl. See, the thing is, this Lapis Girl 097 dress has been stalking me. I covet luxury items, I dream about luxury items, so when I finally buckle down and buy one it’s a serious affair.
So, this Lapis dress was at Sak’s Off Fifth a few months ago. Then, it moved it’s way down to Nordstrom’s the Rack. And finally, today, while I was waiting for some film to develop at nearby pharmacy, I ran into Marshall’s. There is was. The dress. And that was it. It was decided. The dress would be mine. And not for the listed price at Sak’s Off Fifth, but for the bargain price of $20 at Marshall’s. It was mine.
The Dress Option
And I will wear it to death. I will wear it to work with a swear over it. I will wear it with a white or black top to work or out on the town and I will, for sure be wearing it was a cover up at the river/lake/beach this summer. It’s a win win for me.
The thing is, though, you have to accessorize and do things well with this look. I just snapped a few quick photos with this just to show that the dress can be worn several different ways without regard to that..so the look is not complete. With the dress/skirt fully accessorized this will be an awesome look.
But, again, it is your decision. Are you that girl that only wears something once? Or are you the girl that makes decisions based on how many times she’s going to wear the item?
