Embracing Chevron Madness

Well, I'm sure you've all noticed that chevron is absolutely everywhere. From fashion to home decor, from wedding cakes to birthday invitations, the chevron pattern (or zig-zag) has taken over. It's madness. 

This pattern has been around for a very long time; for more information on it's origins and the origins of the current trend, read this article. 

For this post I'm wearing my new black and beige chevron dress.

Trends are funny things. They can be fun for sure, and I like to know what's popular from season to season, but it can be a little tiring constantly worrying about whether what you're wearing will be acceptable to others as what's "in".
That being said, I totally love chevron. It's fun, a little whacky, and I honestly believe, a classic.

I believe many are beginning to get tired of the chevron trend right now, but where I live that's not the case yet. It's still everywhere you look, from maxi-skirts and palazzo-pants to luggage and backpacks, it's in just about every store in my town. It seems that it is the tendency of many to develop a disdain for any trend that gains too much popularity. I get that. 

That's not me, though. What I am striving for first and foremost with my personal style is my own happiness. I like knowing what is trending, but that alone is not why I choose to wear chevron. I have loved the chevron pattern ever since I first saw it appearing in my local shops. I finally found a dress in the fun pattern that I like on me, and I am now going to wear it. Whether everyone else is wearing it (or if no one else is wearing it) has little bearing to whether or not I will wear it.

Chevron continues to be wildly popular. People seem to either love it or hate it. I personally love it, and will likely continue wearing this cute dress long after the trend is over.

My chevron dress was bought at my local Factory Connection. The black pumps are from Wal-mart.
