Donna Karan knows what a girl wants—she is after all the ultimate beachgoing, yoga-posing working woman. So her dresses reflect that get-up-and-go-do-at-least-three-things-at-once mind-set. Like this spaghetti-strap dress in jade green (or black if you must) that’s sharp enough for a day at the office, but fun enough for drinks after. Wear it on the train or bus to your weekend destination of choice, and then throw it over a bathing suit for the ultimate cover-up. The adjustable pull-string belt ensures that you won’t look like you’re wearing a garbage bag, while the front pockets are, well, who doesn’t love a pocket? Case closed.
