While purple was hottest color of Fall 2008, yellow took over for 2009. If you can't bear to wear something as bold as a bright yellow dress, opt for yellow accessories instead. Yellow will add some oomph to your spring outfits.

Spring Hair Accessories

Thick Sash Belt

Choose a thick sash belt in leather, silk or other fabric. Pick fun colors like bright reds and yellow, or your favorite pastels. If you are short-waisted, this type of belt isn't the best style for you. Instead, check out the other belt trends for spring.

Floral Headbands

Long Opera-Length Necklace

Make a big statement with a opera-length or longer necklace this spring. When you wear a necklace like this one from the Vera Wang show at Spring 2009 Fashion Week, keep the rest of your accessories very minimal. If this style is too long for your taste, pick a shorter chunky necklace in a bold color.

Bohemian-inspired sandals were all over the runways at Spring 2009 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. And this is one runway trend that will definitely carry over into real life. Flat sandals, as well as high heels, with ankle ties the wrap up the legs (oftentimes almost to the knee) will be flooding the store shelves for spring.
