To some degree, I feel that RATE (rough around the edges) is an attitude or a skill of looking effortlessly tousled, like the model on her day off.

Have you found certain labels or particular items that lend themselves to a RATE element? I am having trouble shopping with everything looking so pristine this spring. (That is not a genuine complaint; I love looking at those beautiful outfits.)

The labels that specialize in bohemian styling are some candidates, as mentioned by Angie in this post on Spring 2015 http://youlookfab.com/2015/01/.....ring-2015/ (Free People, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Lucky). I've found that Rebecca Taylor, House of Harlow and Antique Batik can lean RATE.

I've bought my leather goods on Etsy and knit cap from Westerlind.

What ideas can you share?
