Playing the High/Low Game

I came across a high/low template in Polyvore a little while ago and I knew I just had to play around with it. I took inspiration from current summer trends – denim cut-offs, polka dots, scallop edges and floral denim – to create high-end and affordable looks. Which do you prefer?
