    If you’re too intimidated by the idea of acid wash all over, then you can try it with your accessories. Even though there are technically three patterns going on here, the interesting dimension to the outfit ditches the rule that everything has to match perfectly.

    Layered and flirty

    We don’t mind loungewear as a day-to-day trend, especially if it means disguising sweatpants as ultra-chic go out pants. The key to dressing up these bad boys is in how you accessorize. Add a blazer for structure and wedges for an ultra femme touch. And of course, no outfit is complete without the perfect statement necklace and this gold feather necklace does the trick.
