Oh CC, I adore that white outfit from Todd Lynn! I want one!
Chevron skirt with oiled leather boots and a service station shirt would be a perfect ensemble to get a wardrobe running on all eight cylinders.;-) Seriously, I love that LAMB chevron black and white pencil skirt. Very chic!!!
P....R....A....D....A!!!!!

...and I'm ashamed to admit. i did not know it was called chevron.
very educational + BEYOND stylish.

Great coverage. These types of stripes can be very slimming when worn right too.
I adore Emilio Pucci skirt!
The ribbon dress is SO adorable!
wow! you really do a great job putting all these pictures together. I'm loving the chevron print. I'm thinking I need some chevron print shoes.
i'm usually not the biggest fan of prints.. but some of these are very chic
all the shapes are amazing looking lined up next to one another like that
crazy!
Love the unique shoes and the stripes in the dresses!
good post cc!
Carrie dear... loving anyhing Chevronny now... I've just posted a little something for your kind words; when I was sick...hope u like...Thanks again dear, appreciate it very much!
Charmed as always*
I love geometrics, but they make my eyes cross!
great post. hadn't noticed how much chevron patterns abound!
love.
love.
LAMB's pencil skirt is quintessential I think.
Great patterns. i just wanted to mention that i love Giambattista Valli too!
Goooooooooooooooorgeous!
I love all the bags shown, and the black and violet shoes!
this totally reminds me of the trend in high school...i definitely had a chevron-esque skirt
The Miu Miu Chevron dress is amazing, as are the Prada sandals (insane!). I am excited about this trend...when it is done right. Of course, I live for any zig zags in black and white.
Ha ha I scrolled up really fast to have another look at one of the pictures and the black and white lines made me dizzy.
Too many zig-zags can hurt the eyes, but just enough make such a cool geometric look! :)
xoxo,
S-C
Wow! So many amazing things!
Love the dress from Sonia Rikyel!
i heart these zig zags!! that off the shoulder dress is to die for !
Woww the pumps are sooo beautiful !!
I adore the Chris Benz outfit
Archtitecture and fashion are one of those contrasts that work divinely together! The idea of print as well as actual construction to convey the message is cool :)
I am not sure why i adore them, but i do love a chevron stripe. they remind of the seventies i think,perhaps all those chevron graphic polyester long sleeve tops with large collars ;o)
The Prada heels are FRIGGIN HOT!!!! Prada gets it right time after time!

Yeah! The kind of print used by America Ferrara in the ALMA Awards, you're right!!
And yes, I agree Roselyn Sánchez looks very similiar to a younger Sandra Bullock (maybe more curvy...), specially like the character in Miss Congeniality, ha ha ha!
