Play with Your Clothes
Putting neutrals together looks mighty sophisticated, but it's hardly rocket science: "There's no wrong way to mix those colors," says Vera, who delved into black and a deep, inky navy for the poufy jacquard skirt ($98) and shirred-neck jacket ($78). (The jewel-accented pale mauve shell ($54) is almost a third neutral.) If Yoon owned the jacket, she'd loosen it up "with jeans and cute flats"—not that Vera would mind: "I'll do leggings with a great top; my daughters do jeans; a friend, maybe trousers. The whole point is to encourage women to be creative."
