Prim and proper on the web

What do dinners at golf clubs, first-time grandmother meetings, and church have in common? Try as you might to deny it, there are days when you just have to dress like a lady. And who are we to stop you? Check out these options for those times when you're feeling femme. (Yes, we know we sound like Cosmo.)

White Sara Campbell Sundress
The trouble with most white sundresses is that the only thing they accomplish is making you look demure. Their main failing is that they don't properly accentuate the waist, which is pretty much the most important tenet of fashion, if you ask us. But then you have this lovely specimen by Sara Campbell. What matronly woman could not love you in this? Get it at Daisy Clover.
Pinafore T Top
Ideal for when you need to look "covered-up", but can't handle sheathing your upper arms in fabric. Plus, the pattern is called "Swallow and Bomb", which is somehow great unto itself. Slip this on with a modest-length skirt, and you're ready to ace the family reunion. Get it at Paper Doll.
Amanda Shirt
Words cannot describe how much we love this shirt. It's so unapologetically girly it's fantastic. Polka dots, sheen, and candy-apple red. Wear it with black pants, with jeans, with a miniskirt - it will look right every time. And it's still ideal for a button-down type events. Get it at Bebe.
Floral Tie Shirt
Your older female relatives may actually have worn something similar to this in their time. But that's all the more reason for you to pick one up and sport it in the most unlikely of places, like that hole bar you go to where all the girls wear terrible outfits. Get your own personal slice of retro floral at Identity Crisis Clothing.
Tulip Top
When you really need to bust out the big guns, this is the top for you. We didn't think a shirt could actually have painted tulips on it and still be fabulous, but then again, we never purported to know everything. Get it at Made with Love by Hannah.

Workout clothes that don't suck

It was only a matter of time before clothing companies caught on to the fact that women do not want to go to the gym in tapered leggings. It can still be a bit hit and miss beyond LuluLemon, however, which is why we'd like to introduce you to the following lifesaving sources for fitness apparel:

The Gold Griffin Hipster Pant by Carushka

Reversable Lycra pant by Otomix

Workout pants and cutout top by Faremon

Anatomie workout apparel at San Diego Fit.
