Lust List | 2 Vain Girls Dress
It is all about the midi dress. It is the piece commanding attention. Both the streetstyle influencers and the catwalk point to it being a must have. The best thing about this length is that it is a classic elegant cut that will always come back in fashion.
Be still my beating but 2 Vain Girls have perhaps got the best midi dress. A mettalic blue with pleats, the short sleeve piece has a white collar that is demure enough for the day but dressy enough for night wear. Run don’t walk to shop from the site which launched today.

What can I say that hasn’t been said before. Bonang is class. It is the way she carries herself, it is her innate glamour, it is the way she wears her clothes. This gown, the bag, the stole (hopefully fake fur) come together seamlessly. This is pure Hollywood glamour, this is red carpet, this is Bonang.
