"Have you noticed that hundreds of patches all over jeans, jackets, and bags are suddenly kind of a thing? They were the 3.1 Phillip Lim fall 2013 show in New York: At Dior&amp;#x27;s spring 2014, Raf Simon got all fancy with the patches by beading them and sticking them on bags and blazers. I&amp;#x27;ve been spotting the style in real life too. Here&amp;#x27;s Gigi Guerra at Fashion Week. And musician-model Sarah Ruba wore one of the coolest patched denim jackets I&amp;#x27;ve ever seen when she stopped by our offices just a few months ago. The best thing about this trend is that it would actually be the easiest thing to DIY ever. A preliminary Etsy search yielded tons of cute vintage patches at affordable prices, and I&amp;#x27;m pretty sure you could find even cooler, cheaper options if you&amp;#x27;re lucky enough to live in the vicinity of a good thrift store. Of course, you could also just buy something that someone else has already DIY&amp;#x27;ed, and in that case Etsy has you covered as well: These jeans look remarkably similar to the Phillip Lim ones above, and how about this adorable old Boy Scout jacket? If you&amp;#x27;re not crafty and don&amp;#x27;t want to go the preworn route, there are also these: Thoughts? P.S. Here are some more fun shopping picks. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
