Can we talk about Vena Cava for a minute?

Great, thanks. I've felt conflicted for a long time about fishnet tights. They always seem necessary at Halloween, but then when I try to incorporate them into my day-to-day, problems arise. Namely, that I look and feel like I'm about to turn some tricks, and not in the Secret Diary of a Call Girl way. Nope, more like look down there, on the corner, in the cold, there I am shivering because all I'm wearing is a loosely woven pair of fishnet tights! This might sound a bit drastic, but I'm so excited to announce that Vena Cava RTW Fall 2010 has completely changed my perspective, and I'm feeling that fishnets are my new favorite way to politely add some melodrama and a tablespoon (or more, depending on your audience) of sexiness to an outfit. There is something very austere about fishnets, something promiscuous but also classic, timeless, and mindless--that is, of course you're wearing fishnets, what else would you wear because you've been wearing them forever and ever, etc. Bask now, in the glory that is the following excerpt from Vena Cava RTW Fall 2010:

Really, what I love most, is that I already own shoes similar to those worn in all of these looks, and that I can skip on over to Goodwill and replicate the rest for under $10. FTW.

Happy Valentine's.
