Dress for less: A wrap dress

A wrap dress is a must for every woman working in an office. The staple of business casual dress code, you can style it either more business for a meeting or more casual for a stress-free day in the office. I personally own several of them and they always make me feel polished and put together in a snap, you basically put your arms through your sleeves, tie the knot at your waist and you are ready to tackle the spreadsheets and presentations!
I am pretty sure that Diane von Furstenberg didn't imagine her invention will be so popular. If you would like a wrap dress that will be timeless, will serve you for a long time and you plan to wear at least once a week, go for it and get a real DVF wrap dress, preferably in a solid color. 
THIS Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress is slightly shorter than the original version and it's sold for $325. Good investment piece if you plan to wear it a lot or work with important clients. But if you don't get out of the office a lot, or you work with small children, the next option may be more for you.  
Nordstrom sells this Ivy & Blu dress for $82.80 and I must say I like the color and length much more. Another reasonably priced is this teal dress from Banana Republic. The Gemma Wrap Dress is $59.90 and comes in seven different colors. As far as I can tell, the quality should be good, and if you pair it with a coupon, you can get a nice wrap dress for under $50 from here. 
                     
Finally, the lowest priced dress is (I would say totally the same dress as it's sister company BR sells) a nice blue number from Old Navy. The long-sleeved wrap dress is only $18, so get the Old Navy's gem while supplies last, at this price and versatility it will be gone soon! 
Do you already own a wrap dress? What do you love the most about it?

XOXO,
