I loved chevron stripes for the longest time. But I"m kinda over them. I see them way too often in Pinterest!

My husband won't let me buy ANYTHING with chevron because he is so sick of it. Chevron, mustaches, owls, and burlap are all overkilled these days.

@allison: Oh yeah, forgot about the mustaches. They were cute for a little while. Totally over them now.

I think it's one of those things that is Internet over done but not IRL over done.

Oh, washi tape too. So overdone. But I still love them. I just ordered a bunch off etsy the other day.

I won't decorate with it because I think it will be outdated quickly.

I was never very into them to begin with. Don't love them and don't hats them.

Me me me. It was so overplayed, last year it seemed like every nursery on ApartmentTherapy was chevron-ed out. Like @leialou, I intentionally avoided chevron in our nursery because I expected that it would look dated within a year!

I wish it wasn't everywhere (on the internet at least) because I do still really like it. In small doses, at least.
I never cared for the mustache thing at all. I don't get it.
ETA: But I don't care if it will look 'dated' in the nursery or whatver-- I'm not designing a nursery so it will win originality awards or be a big hit on the internet, I'm doing it so I love looking at it, and secondary, for the baby.

I haven't seen chevron IRL much anywhere at all though it is all over the internet.
I love it ! I'm using it in LO's nursery since I find it gender neutral and we are team green.

I see it online more than in real life to be honest. I like it in small doses, like LO has a chevron sheet. I just like a variety of patterns, polka dots, stripes, chevron, etc.

I'm tired of seeing it everywhere too. I have one chevron pillow that i bought 2 years ago, but that's it! It's nice in small doses, but chevron overload sometimes makes my head hurt.

I love it! I guess I don't see how stripes can be "overdone" - chevron has been around for a long time. I'm not a fan of pattern overkill, but I definitely like chevron stripes in small doses.

I like it in moderation - as in very moderate. I would never wear it, have it in my home etc. but a few accessories here and there, no big deal.

I still like it, but like some pp I don't see it too much IRL but definitely a lot on Pinterest! I will use it in LO's nursery in smaller doses that aren't too big of investments

i still love it on clothing and will buy cheap fashion pieces with it, but am a little more wary of decorating my home with it, because that's more permanant for me :). still love it for packaging/paper/etc!

@tysonja: ditto! Love it for packaging and paper stuff!
We have a chevron throw for the nursery and a chevron bib. I think it's really cute but totally overdone on Pinterest. But agree I don't see it IRL too often and eventually it will no longer be a fad, but the design is a classic. Like leopard, Greek key, stripes...trends come and go but these striking graphics will always have lasting power. Now the mustache thing will not. Lol but I think it's cute for baby boys!

I also don't see it used a lot IRL so I don't mind it
I wouldn't use it in my own home decorating though. I'd wear it in an accessory, like a scarf or a pair of flats!

I like chevron in muted colors - like white and a really light blue grey - or in a really bright color but in small doses. At first I was the opposite. I hated it, couldn't understand the charm, but then I saw it used in some nurseries and homes in subtle or interesting ways.
I would love to own a little chevron in my life. Like a crocheted blanket. Hmm... Rainbow chevron anyone?
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
I see it online more than in person, I do have a couple chevron pillows on my couch and I still love those! But I wouldn't do a wall in it since I think I would get sick of it. My sister just did her nursery wall in it, and it's a lot.
