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.

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.
