Party Perfect
I love this Vena Cava dress, in part because it's an amalgamation of three of my favorite big trends for spring. The wide, chain-bedecked collar has an exotic quality (trend no. 1: tribal-inspired fashion) and makes enough of a statement that you wouldn't need to accessorize with any other jewelry. The dress itself is bright persimmon silk (trend no. 2: bold colors—everywhere right now, including at MoMA, where I went this weekend to check out the Color Chart exhibition), with a groovy honeycomb print (trend no. 3: geometric motifs). Plus, it's bare yet not too showy, which isn't exactly a new trend but a great one, nevertheless. And despite the fact that it's truly of-the-moment, it feels like the type of thing you could wear season after season—to summer weddings, cocktail parties, and on and on.
I was browsing the Forever 21 website and found a very similar dress labeled "Sleeveless Chiffon" (same neckline, colors, etc.) on their website for around $23.00. It might be a nice and thrifty alternative.
this mannequin looks crazy!
