Recessionista Fashion for Spring





Simply put, these are very inexpensive ideas to spruce up Spring with the latest trends under $50. We start of with color, from pastel pink to bold blue, color is definitely in. Of course, La Guru loves to be daring taking the city by storm with the latest “IT” color, Yellow! You can see it on the runways from Lavin to Cavalli. However, if you can find a Lavin piece under $50 please let me know! La Guru is accessorizing with this fab color. Try an Angie & Lola Half Ring Handle Clutch in Mustard exclusively at Target for only $19.99.

Speaking of being daring, another great trend for spring is sheer fabrics. Let’s keep it sweet and romantic by using a sheer cami under a lightweight sweater or jacket. One rule about wearing sheer: either buy lingerie that is meant to be seen (pretty camis, nude slips) or keep it completely out of sight. While I love to break rules, this one is not meant to be broken. Visit www.victoriasecret.com for ideas such as the crochet trim cami only $24. Vicky's is always a staple classic.

Another classic is ethnic prints, but don't limit yourself to just prints. Try oversized wooden jewelry or harem pants. This pleated knit jumpsuit from Twelve by Twelve ($32.00) is simple yet makes a huge statement. Do not go over board with the tribal/global style. Keep it simple with only one or two pieces at a time like menswear, simple.

Speaking of menswear, the boyfriend look is at its best with crisply tailored classics with a feminine twist, think ‘a la Katie Holmes’. The key to this look is balance like slouchy rolled up men's jeans with a soft shirt or a tuxedo jacket over an evening gown, something like this tuxedo belted sleeveless coatdress ($44.00) from: Twelve by Twelve


There you have it, four amazing trends for spring under $50. Not that’s recession proof fashion.
