Lifestyle of a Fashionista

There is a trend I have been seeing a lot of lately – Chevron. It is a zig zag or v pattern found on clothing and accessories, similar to a herringbone pattern. I love this trend! I saw it on a stylish blogger during the Blog Better Boston Summit, on my stylish cousin Alyssa at her graduation party, and even on Samantha in a rerun of Sex and the City.

I found two dresses with the pattern in my closet.

This trend has been around for years via brands like Missoni but now more retailers are featuring it in their collections. I shopped at Francesca’s, Lulu’s, Etsy, Zappos, Bluefly, Macy’s, and Threadsence. Here are some sample pieces:
