Taking Henkaa on Holiday: the Ultimate Beach Holiday Dress!

The Henkaa Convertible Maxi is a one-piece dress that can be styled in multiple ways – from sleeveless to one-shoulder to full-coverage, the options are endless! When I first saw the Henkaa dress (at Lotus Leaf’s #PRESSDAYS),  I immediately fell in love with the vibrant colors, gorgeous material and elegantly draped design. I knew it would be the perfect piece to take on my week-long holiday to Turks & Caicos.

Why is Henkaa the ultimate beach holiday dress?

  • material – the poly/spandex blend is wrinkle-resistant, unbelievably easy to pack, machine washable – and so silky and beautiful!
  • versatility – SO many ways to style it – from a skirt to a dress, just change up your accessories and wear it to different occasions.
  • lightweight and comfortable – perfect for warmer climates

Here’s the Henkaa dress in action on my holiday – I wore it 3 different ways:

OUTFIT 1:

Henkaa Dress worn in the Sandy, Necklace (Mine from J.Crew Factory), Button Down (Mine from H&M), Tan Wedges (Mine from Old Navy), Tote bag (Mine from J.Crew Factory)


Breakfast by the Beach – worn as a maxi skirt (instructions here) paired with a white button-down shirt.

OUTFIT 2:

Henkaa Dress worn in the Lola, Denim Vest (mine was DIY), Bubble Necklace (mine from H&M), Minkoff Bag, Tan Wedges (Mine from Old Navy)


Layers in the Afternoon – worn as a twisted halterneck (instructions here) paired with a denim vest and turquoise bubble necklace.

OUTFIT 3:

Henkaa Dress worn in the Annabelle, J.Crew Factory Necklace, Minkoff bag & Tan Wedges (Mine from Old Navy)

Dressed up for Dinner – worn in the classic halterneck tie (instructions here) with my crystal necklace for added sparkle. (As you can tell from the photo, it was a windy evening!)

What is your favorite way of styling the dress?

 

DISCLAIMER: I contacted Henkaa after the #PRESSDAYS event and they kindly provided the dress for this post. I purchased the bandeau top myself.

    I love them all, but the third is my favorite! Such a gorgeous color on you! I can't wait for spring 🙂 even though it's warm here, I still feel the need to wear wintery colors. Excited for brights!

      Thanks Cornelia – I know what you mean – it's hard to believe all the completely different looks from just one dress! I'll be sharing some more variations in my upcoming post about my Henkaa showroom visit 😉
