Lace for the Cure

Lavande SWK Lingerie

Mom always said to wear clean knickers in case you got run over by a bus.

Oddly, she never specified what kind.

So skip the plain old granny panties and go for Lavande SWK lingerie. (You never know when a hunky Good Samaritan will come to the rescue.)

The collection of frilly underthings incorporates silks, laces, and vintage-inspired trims into sexy silhouettes in colors like lavender, frost, and midnight, with details like mini crystal globe button closures, ruffled chiffon, and hand-cut eyelash lace.

Feeling formal? Slip into a pair of silk chiffon tuxedo shorts, available in creme, petal, and ink, with a ribbon stripe down each side. (More bright colors to be introduced for spring.)

Just wait till your knight in shining E.R. scrubs sees those.

Mom would be proud.
