Fantasy Closet --Udpating While Elongating

I owe a friend a trip to the coveted fantasy closet with a mission in mind. She wants to update her own with perennially flattering pieces that give the illusion of height.

Here's what I found.

 The Elements:
  1. Wide leg pants ending at the heels of your shoe is the most flattering.  Rag & Bone Perry Pants, barneys.com
  2. V neck tops lengthen the neck. Maison Martin Margeila, lagarconne.com
  3. Avoid oversized bags and go for the long strapped and structured. Proenza Schouler Small PS11, barneys.com
  4. Feminine and pointy pairs work best. Louis Vuitton, vogue.com.jp
  5. Vertical stripes for slimming and lengthening is cliché but empire cuts allow you to borrow some length from your torso thus gifting you with the illusion of that elusive few inches. John Lewis Cross Over Stripe Dress, johnlewis.com
  6. A long pendant necklace will not overwhelm and is a nice finishing touch. Alexander McQueen Swarovski Antique Brass Pendant, net-a-porter.com
Hope you're all having a stylish Wednesday!
