Highstreet Sweet Highstreet

Chevron was once a print which I could only associate with homeware and stationery such as my beloved bright orange/white Tesco bedsheets, but seeing it filter into the high street has made me realise how it is an eye-catching and interesting way to add colour and texture to a garment.  Sleek Layered Necklace http://www.forever21.com/UK/Product/Product.aspxbr=F21&Category=acc_jewellery&ProductID=1000070585 This simple necklace can be used to dress up almost any outfit and would look amazing worn with a shirt as the angles would align with the shirt's collar.  DKNY Quilted Mini Skirt http://www.theoutnet.com/en-GB/product/DKNY/Quilted-stretch-silk-mini-skirt/456830 This cute skirt has a subtle chevron texture as the fabric of the body and could easily be dressed up or dressed down.  The Laden Showroom X Paisie Shirt Dress http://www.asos.com/The-Laden-Showroom/The-Laden-Showroom-X-Paisie-Shirt-Dress-in-Chevron-Print/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx
