Geometric Style Even a Math-Challenged Fashionista Can Love

For some reason, I was never very good at math. Algebra, maybe. But geometry, never. Charts, graphs, lines going up and down -- they just don't do anything for me. (I don't even think that area of my brain works, or if it even exists.) I actually had a high school geometry teacher say, "If you're asking these types of questions, maybe you shouldn't be in my class" when I asked him why a right angle was called a right angle. Jerk.

But the fashion-forward geometric shape trend recently caught my eye, giving me a new appreciation for geometry. After all, these patterns and shapes wouldn't exist without it. (Now if I could just get that square peg to fit into a round hole. Oh, never mind.)
