Made out of silk with seams at the front, this Silk Camp Shirt can be bought from BananaRepublic.com for $79.50.

It's time to put a halt on the pencil skirts and give way to the classic pleated ones. Pleated skirts are definitely much more comfortable to move around and would also make your kegs look thinner. However, these pleated skirts only work well with lighter fabrics as the heavier ones will make you look a tad too bulky! Now you can own your 'On My Way' bright yellow skirt from ModCloth.com for $64.99.

4. Long body skirt by Gap
