A Cool Way to Pull Off the Ruffled Sweater Trend for Winter

I'm currently obsessing over frilly, ruffled sweaters and this under-$100 sweater makes for the perfect casual-cool winter outfit. To help ground the pointelle knit and give it a cool factor I would pair it with black cat-eye sunglasses, edgy hoop earrings, a minimalist mini bag, faux leather pants, and neutral Converse high-top sneakers.
