Walk into any fast fashion retailer and you will see patches galore. This summer the trend was just starting to emerge. When patches first started to enter merchandise assortments, there were a few here and there. In the accessory, and or check out aisles you would be able to purchase a pin and or iron on patch set separately. These were still pretty pricey at about $14.00-$70.00 a piece depending on the retailer. But now, Forever 21 has taken this trend to a whole new level. Walk around the store, and it is hard to find something that does not have a patch or embroidered logo on it. Guess what? The prices have gone down significantly. Now you can get a bomber jacket, jean jacket, skirt, shirt, the list goes on and on for the price of $20.00 or even less! Cons of this: You can no longer show your own personal aesthetic through the patches and pins that you choose because they already are pre chosen! I personally am not a huge fan of the flowers and tigers on everything. My Purse: This is part of Betsey Johnson’s Trolls line for the film Her Trolls line has a lot of fun fluffy items, in mainly pink, blue, and black. They are all on mega clearance at Macy’s right now: https://www.macys.com/shop/featured/betsey-johnson-trolls I was attracted to it due to how the eyes just lure you in! The small sparkly handle was also fun and different. I decided to pair it with a black and gold lace dress and some yellow shoes to add a pop of color. These shoes are knock-off Valentinos, but look pretty similiar to me ;) The real deal is only $950.00 more. Lastly to complete this look I added some David Yurman sunglasses that have a slight cat wing to them. They go along with the diva-esque look. This spring: Add some pops of color and patches into your wardrobe!
