Everyone's Talking About House Dresses — We Found Our Favorite For Just $40 - POPSUGAR

You can't scroll very far on Instagram without seeing someone rocking the popular house-dress trend. These easy dresses aren't just a cool alternative to your stay-at-home loungewear, they're also rooted in a rich history. The term "house dress" is from the late 19th century and was essentially used to describe a garment designated for doing house chores. Now, however, these romantic pieces have taken on a modern life of their own. They're a welcome escape from our everyday loungewear. After doing a ton of research online for affordable dresses to wear around the house, we found styling inspiration (we'll explain why we love them) and our new favorite all-around comfortable — and wallet-friendly — version: Old Navy's Floral-Print V-Neck Fit & Flare Midi Dress ($40). It's definitely a dress we can get behind.

A Chinese university's guidelines warning women students not to wear "revealing" clothes on campus "to prevent arousing temptation" have whipped up online fury.

The recommendations were included in a 50-point safety guide issued at Guangxi University in southern China, which also urged women to avoid going out alone.

"Do not wear clothing and skirts that are overly revealing, low-cut, exposing your waist, or showing your back, so as to prevent arousing temptation," the advisory note for incoming women students read.

"At certain times, it is not suitable to wear high heels which restrict movement."

As news of the guidelines issued last month spread online this week, the university was slammed by social media users for suggesting women were responsible for sexual assault.

On Weibo, one user wrote: "Why is a woman's 'freedom of dressing' deemed as 'temptation'? It's mainly because the hearts of some men are unclean. I hope text in the future will say: 'Some men should please correct their thoughts'."

"Women have not yet been raped, but Guangxi University has prepared to slut-shame them," another user wrote. The topic had over 210 million views and thousands of comments on Weibo as of yesterday.
