Reader Request: Yellows, Lemons, Peaches, Corals

Frequent reader Maryam Iqbal inspired our latest post.  In response to the question, "Which spring colors are you looking for?", she replied, "Yellow, coral dress shirts, hard to find in a reasonable price."

We agree!  Corals, peaches, yellows, lemons, and anything in that soft-hued reminder of a soft spring sunset is a high-demand color for a spring wardrobe.  We've found a variety of styles and tones to infuse into your closet.  We've gone with styles and lengths of every kind, to work in as modestly as you desire.

What's your favorite item?

FAVORITE FIND: Pink Contrast Pussy Bow Blouse

I'm compiling a post for a reader (coming tomorrow!) and came across this.  I'm fighting every bone in my body to not just purchase it now (an extra 25% off if you're a student!).  I love the loose fit and the off-center bow on the mock collar, and the neutral pink on nude chiffon layers.  With a pair of wide-leg pants, this is a great dress-me-up/dress-me-casual top.  Are you as tempted to buy this?

Over and Under (Ways to Maximize Style on that Maxi)

Until designers start adding more sleeves to their summer clothing, women seeking modest clothing will have to do it themselves.  But lucky for us, we know how to get creative.

Remember our post on peplums earlier?  You might have loved them but thought, "how else can I wear them?"  Well along came the sleeveless maxi dress.  Peplums and tank dresses are practically made for each other!  Try these peplums to give you arm coverage.  In addition to arm coverage, peplums are great to work with your curves.  Usually the waist is higher and the flare gives you the illusion of a slimmer waist.

Similarly, the new trend of tie-neck shirtdresses isn't just meant for pants.  Try layering under a sleeveless maxi dress to add some pop to an otherwise plain dress.

Hello, lovely

Hellloooo, beautiful.  (I'm talking to you, our reader, of course!)

Oh, and hey, you're looking pretty good yourself over there (now I'm talking about these dresses).

First off, can I just say how excited I am that my affiliate site is doing layouts again?  I feel like those are Greater Lengths' bread and butter and in the whole ShopStyle/PopSugar Shopping cutover, we lost layouts for a while.  Glad to have them back.

Second, spring is SOCLOSE.  We had a hint of it for a week or two, then it went back to early fall weather.  While I love it for its running possibilities, I am ready for sun on my face and a breeze on my back.

I'm also ready for skirts and dresses - flowy, loose, long dresses!  I might be jumping the gun and browsing before spring really settles it but looking at maxis gets me excited for sunglasses and walking bare-footed through soft spring grass.  Check out these jersey maxis on Piperlime.  The belted sueded one on the far left is on sale, but the rest are still at full price.  Leave us a message if you like them - we'll keep you posted when they go on sale!
