Etsy Love: Tough, Yet Elegant

After my recent call for reader requests, I received a request for an Etsy Love set that features tough, yet elegant accessories.  Being that I like to incorporate touches of punk rock into my style on occasion, I was more than eager to begin this search.  I think the key to making tough accessories elegant has a lot to do with what you pair them with.  Many of the tough items I picked out include rough edges, chains, distressing, leather.  So balance out the accessories.  Instead of distressed jeans and a band t-shirt, wear dark wash skinnies and a flowing blouse.  Pair combat boots with feminine dresses.  For some inspiration on awesome ways to mix in tough accessories, check out Audi or Kasmira.
