Really Love My … Chevron Dress

01/09/13 | Canada, Fashion Friday, really love my ..., Travel, vacation

In December I started my series “I Really Love My…”, but let me take a step back.  For all of my new readers I started this blog as an extension of my favorite things there are few things I do on a consistent basis:  on Tuesdays I write about accessories trends, Thursday is clothing trends, and Friday’s feature a pair of shoes from my closet.  While the “I really love my..” series is not going to be a weekly occurrence it will be something you see from time to time. 
Fashion has always been something I have been really interested in and I have always been of the belief that clothes are to wear, not to sit in your closet and look pretty.  This theory is what inspired this series which began with my leaf earrings and black ruffle top.  This time it is about my favorite dress!  My Chevron Dress has been a staple in my wardrobe for years and it travels extremely well.  Looking back this dress has had quite a few adventures:

In Toronto, Canada and New York, New York

In Florence, Italy* and Cambridge, England 
and in San Diego, California
  

Do you have an item you wear all of the time?  And does it travel well, because this dress definitely does! 
* Yes, I did actually climb the Duemo in Florence in this dress!

    I love chevron and I love a dress that can travel. I had to go to a wedding in the UK last year and my dress was almost a disaster. Luckily I was able to get my hands on a steamer to fix the mess.
