Style Trend: Chevron Stripes

This shirt is just $13. Go ahead, envy.
That's what happens when I go shopping not really looking for a particular piece of clothing! I find great bargains and deals. But when I really need something specific, (specially if I don't have much time and need something right now) somehow retail Gods conspire against me and I find that the item I want is NOWHERE on sale, most likely not available in my size! LOL! Does that happen to you too, or it is just my weird shopping curse??  
The original shirt doesn't have the front bow - I added one with a silk sash (belt from another dress), you can even use it as a belt  for a peplum effect as this shirt is nicely cinched at the back and flares up at the hip when belted! 
I got this shirt at TJ Maxx for just $12.99, go check your local store if they have it, otherwise a good option could be this Modcloth chevron blouse. The Forever 21 jeans was just $20 last year, (good option is this one - also from Forever 21 for just $22) I feel great that I can wear a F21 jeans (which is always short for me) as the on-trend ankle length style!

    I really could live at TJ Maxx for real! Your shirt is great and those sunglasses look like you should've been born wearing them! You look so fabulous, my dear!

    Love how you're rocking the 'geometric prints' trend, that blouse is amazing! What I love more though, is the gorgeous pair of heels, you have such a great style.


    Have a lovely weekend,

    I am so obsessed with the chevron print right now.. I manged to add a dress and a skirt in this print. Looking at how well you wear it, I will get to wearing these pieces soon. Loving the addition of the bow to the shirt.
