How to Wear Spring's Trends

Depression-Chic styling ruled the runways this spring, but those looks are far from wearable in your normal everyday life. Luckily, Yaya’s has a few key pieces that can bring the look to your wardrobe in a subtle way.

Nic & Zoe’s “flirt” skirt captures the high-waisted and belted look of the depression-chic look in a business-appropriate way. Wear it with an understated striped button-down shirt and heels, a few delicate gold chains, and heels.

For a more casual version of the look, try Tribal’s cargo pants and matching vest in earth. Layer a silky tank or satiny tee under the vest and wear it belted to show off your hourglass figure. Add a pair of gladiator sandals and a layered beaded necklace or floral brooch for a feminine touch.

Check back Friday for some fun hair and makeup trends to wear with these looks, and check out the rest of our site for more great spring looks.

Jackets and Vests for Spring 2009

Like I've mentioned, I love to wear layers. What better way to stay warm in the cool weather or to add a bit of fun in the warm weather? You can change the entire look of a top by adding a jacket or a vest to it! Right now, I love these 2 pieces from Yaya's:


The first is a linen jacket from Tribal Sportswear. I love the bright blue color for it's cheeriness, and I love the easygoing silhouette for its laid-back attitude. I would wear this with khaki cropped pants or jeans and a vintage tee, with raffia sandals and a bunch of bangle bracelets.

The second is a hooded vest, also from Tribal Sportswear. I would wear this alone with Tribal's cropped pants in Earth on a hot day, or I would wear it over a white tee (long or short sleeve) with jeans on a cooler one. It would also look great over a lace or satin tank top for an evening out; the juxtaposition of the vest with girly textures and styling would be a fun way to play up the military feel of the piece.
