Organic clothing has had a bit of a bad reputation -- I know my mind used to immediately go to scratchy fabrics, dull colors, and baggy, unflattering styles. I might live the hippie lifestyle in some ways by trying to be as green as possilbe, but I don't want to look ... crunchy. You know?

Enter Danskin Prima Organics. They sent me a couple of pieces to try out, and let me just say that my mindset has definitely been adjusted. Each piece is made of earth-friendly certified organic cotton, dyed and printed using non-toxic organic dyes and finishes. And that's not all -- each garment comes with a recyclable hangtag made from 30 percent post-consumer waste, attached with an organic cotton string.

The website describes the collection as "feminine and contemporary," saying it "offers you fashionable functional looks created in the spirit of dance style and yoga chic. Sumptuous soft, lightweight quality fabrics and sensational lines wrap you in comfort ... Pose flex and move with ease in gorgeous pieces to wear alone, layer, and even add to your casual wardrobe for a cool highlight."

I'd have to agree with them.

Now, I'm not normally all that picky about how I look when I hit the gym. My main concern is that whatever I'm wearing move with me and keep me from getting too hot. I tried doing cardio and stretching at the gym -- no problem. I did a dance-based workout video at home -- still awesome. And, I looked pretty, and even if I try not to care, it's definitely an added bonus to have something on that I can easily wear out if I have to stop on the way to or from the gym.

Speaking of wearing things out ... I usually don't really condone using workout clothes as regular clothes. I mean, sure, we all hit the grocery store in yoga pants on occasion, but most of my tanks and tees are either designated for workouts or for going out -- I don't wear them for both.

Within this collection, though, there are a few pieces that I think could translate easily into an everyday piece, even if you're not hitting the gym. For one, the hoodie -- it's fitted enough to look feminine and flattering, and would definitely work with jeans, flats, and a cute scarf or necklace. This floral tank would be adorable under a casual fitted jacket or sweater, too.
