Pull the striking prints in this gown together with neutrals like a nude snood (yes that's what they're calling furry scarves these days) and a beige belt, or bring out the heat with darker toned accessories. Either way, a stand-out look is in the making.

Fashionably Formal
So much to love about this Calvin Klein dress ($150 on E-Bay!). It's chic and graceful without all the usual curve-huggery. And the action isn't all at the bust - instead the eyes glide down that shimmering column of sequins rising up from pretty pleats.
Luxurify by wearing it with a bold fur vest and shiny long-sleeved tee, or keep it elegant with either of the shrugs.

Pregnancy recovery and necessary no-waist outfits
There comes a time in every woman's life where you just need a day or two without a waistband. Enter this dress from Piperlime (where you get 3.5% back if you shop through Ebates). A soft heather jersey maxi dress. Forgiving of stains and other trespasses against it.
As a few women in my life are pregnant, I advise this as a great recovery outfit. Add a comfy sweater, like this one available at Old Navy in yellow and white, or this one available at Gap in multiple shades of stripes.

Navy and neutrals
It happens to everyone. In an effort to buy the loosest or the longest or the least fitted item, we're forced to purchase the only color the item comes in: a blah neutral. A brown, a black, a beige - colors that make us feel dull.
Thankfully, there are a handful of colors that work well with these lifeless tones. Navy is one of those. It's a universally flattering color, rich with hue and highlights. This Asos top is a only $25, available in sizes 2 - 12. Layer with it one of your existing sweaters for a splash of color this winter. Click on any of the images below to check out size and availability of the other wallet-friendly sweaters. (Note: While neutrals may not sass up your style, they will balance other brightly-colored tops.)
Don't forget to shop through Ebates for 3.5% back at Asos, 2.5% back at Charlotte Russe and Arden B, and 2% back at Kohls.

REMIX: Blazers, black pants, and some animal print
It's easy to get stuck in a style rut, which is where Greater Lengths comes in. We're here to inspire you to look at your closet a little differently.
Then every once in a while, we're inspired ourselves, like Shea here. She's a hijab-wearing Muslim woman with a great fashion sense.

Many of these items, you may already have, but in case you're hoping to finish your look, click on the images below for those final pieces.
