New York fashion week inspiration: Vena Cava

Trends from this collection:

• Semi-structured pieces with a softer look. (Jackets, shorts, etc.)
• Black. (Like most of us *need* to feel inspired to wear black...)
• Floppyish hats. (If I owned this entire collection, I'd wear that black hat the most.)
• Black turtlenecks layered under everything. (OK on models, but turtlenecks can look terrible on anyone with curves, imho. Still, the layering long sleeve shirts under more summery pieces is always useful, though hardly original.)
• Fur. (More specifically, fur accents, not entire coats or anything like that.)

Here's a look I put together, inspired by the collection. It uses pieces you likely have in your wardrobe - a simple cocktail dress, a long-sleeved black shirt, fishnets, chunky black shoes, a floppy black hat - with a faux fur vest, which is trending right now.
