FAVORITE FIND: Cassidy Linen Blend Fit & Flare Pant by The Limited
Trust me on this when I say these are the best pants ever. I know this because I purchased them last year, and look for every reason to wear them. Lightweight and airy, they also provide an edge of chic but can be dressed for the most casual of affairs, and tend to go with almost EVERYTHING. These pants are magic pants in terms of fit - nary a thigh they meet that they don't flatter and most importantly, don't accentuate.

FAVORITE FIND: A Long-Sleeved Maxi Dress
Found a gem, and thought I'd share. Opaque and breathing-room friendly, this long-sleeve maxi requires little to no negotiation. Bright accessories can easily bring it from fall to summer and vice versa. And 20 bucks? Is there much more to think about?

The One That Started It All
While there are many instances that led to this blog, the catalyst is an innocuous black dress. Supposedly a staple in every woman's closet but hear you me: as a Muslim women, a black dress is not the item found 'round the world. When one of my best friend's asked me to be her maid of honor, I excitedly said yes (of course!).
The only thing of the entire MOH experience which was a challenge was the search for a bridesmaid dress: a simple, formal black dress. It's the black dress I spent a solid 4 months searching for last year - enlisting a myriad of friends in the process - which ultimately led me to create Greater Lengths. The promise to you is to make your American style and fashion search a more enjoyable and less anxiety-inducing experience.
Happy anniversary to my sweet friends on their first anniversary and congratulations to me for finding the perfect black dress! (I won't lie, I looked smashing!)
In honor of my (now perfect) black dress, I give you the (first annual) black dress post.
The black dress of the year goes to this beauty. Coming in at under $60, the top of the dress has some drama with the ruffles. The neckline can be pulled up to be adjusted to sit higher under the decollatege. With a cardigan over the arms, the neckline becomes a classic square shape, creating a slimmer neckline.
The runner up for the year is the Tinley Road Cutout Maxi. This dress also makes a great long, maxi, black dress with a dramatic neckline - perfect for a hijab-adorning Muslim woman.

Gaze-droppers: The Skinny on Printed Pants
Hello and happy Saturday night (or Sunday morning I should say). What have we got for you now, you ask? Well folks, it's the printed pant. Tired of that pesky gaze getting stuck up north? Well then move the action to your bottom of course! As the title implies, adding prints to your pants will drop that gaze for sure. It's a great way to break up the style rut too. We've offered some solid tops to balance out the excitement - accessorize to go bolder, or keep it calm at just two pieces.
