Rachel Comey and Vena Cava: Brilliant

Two early shows that are making me contemplate emptying my bank account to buy one t-shirt: Rachel Comey and Vena Cava. It's no surprise that they both knocked it out of the park.

Rachel Comey
This will be my uniform next spring. It's so easy and has a great Rachel Comey print without getting too cutesy or confusing. The blouse is out of control. I need it.
Holy crap! This is one of the most genius dresses I have seen in a very long time. Talk about flattering--the way the chiffon comes together at the waist with the belt will make anyone look like they have a tiny waist. Plus, the colors are amazing.
Another amazing chiffon dress. While I'm not of the proportions to make a high halter top even remotely appealing, I respect that there are many other ladies who can. This is gorgeous, especially if you zoom in on the fabric. And God knows I love a good mix of black and blue.

Vena Cava
Here is just another example of why there needs to be diversity on the runway--the impact of this orange dress against the models dark skin is 1000x more striking than it would be on a pale, white girl. Vena Cava is always on the effortlessly cool/chic side, this collection is no exception. I mean, come on, you don't even need to wear necklaces or earrings with this dress. So easy.
It's no surprise that I'm a sucker for sportswear. I absolutely love the mixed patterns and retro proportions of this look. I might, in reality, prefer a full length pant, but otherwise I'm head over heels for this. That cardigan is downright incredible.
I don't even know if it's worth going into why these two dresses are genius. If I have to tell you, then you probably have no business reading a fashion blog. Or having eyes.
