Ever since I started blogging, I have really enjoyed pattern mixing. It wasn't something I did much before I discovered blog-land haha. Now I really enjoy it! I think the easiest prints to mix are stripes with plaid. If you are new to pattern mixing, or just now trying to learn how to mix prints, I would definitely start there. Pick two pieces that are the same color scheme. Here, my two patterned pieces are both black and white which makes them really easy to pair together. I also think if you are new to pattern mixing, it's best to start small. Before you try to mix a striped top with a floral skirt (love this combination, by the way) go for a striped top and a patterned accessory. That way, you can ease into pattern mixing! To see another way I've styled this scarf, head here. I wore this look on Saturday for a day of running errands and going out for Mexican food! I also spent my Saturday morning doing some online browsing of the new spring lines stores are coming out with.
I'm really looking forward to the weather getting a bit warmer so I can wear some of the spring trends. I've noticed the spring trends are most likely going to have lots of off-the-shoulder looks, which is great to pair with statement necklace! I updated my shop tab with my current favorite pieces. I keep this tab pretty updated, as it's where I keep track of what's on my list and when it goes on sale. If you check it out, it's pretty clear that I am loving bold prints, bright colors ,and off the shoulder pieces! What are you looking forward to for spring fashion?
I would love it if you would follow me on GFC or Bloglovin'!

Hey Darcey!
ReplyDeleteI hope you remember me from a year ago.. I used to go by the name "Selina Kyle" or "MissKnowItAll" anyway, I must say I love how your dressing sense is evolved. I especially love the cardigan that you're wearing, it compliments you so well.

Love those jeans! You look so cute and cozy, even though it's probably cold outside-haha
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf! Also, I am totally going to check out those jeans, I really like them!

I am so in love with patterns on patterns! Plain blanket scarfs with a striped shirt are my absolutely favorite right now! Especially when mixing different colors together! Loved the outfit choice!
ReplyDeleteKate::A Little NW Charm
I'm terrible at pattern mixing!! I think that's why I don't do outfit posts! lol =P
ReplyDeleteYou got it though!! I love the bold plaid w/ the small stripes!! Love the colors you choose too! =)

I used to get so freaked out about how things looked together. At this point in my life, if I like it together I just wear it. Love the combo on you!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes and yes!!! I love red, black and white!! So classic but packs a great color pop punch!! You look incredible!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways a fan of some good pattern mixing!

I love the pop of the red cardigan! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteI was scared to mix patterns for fear of not matching for longest time, but now I love it. I have the same tee from Old Navy and I wear it with everything!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of easing into the mixing of the patterns with smaller patterned pieces. I love how you have the different stripes in this look!
ReplyDeleteThese are my two favorite patterns to mix together, and I never thought to mix patterns either until blog-land <3

You are rocking the plaid & stripes; it makes for such a stunning, cool combination. It's always good to start small as far as trying new things, mixing patterns, etc. :]

Mixing stripes is one of my favorite ways to pattern mix. This looks great on you! A scarf is the perfect way to do it with your top.

I'm pretty much only comfortable pattern mixing with stripes, but I love them with pretty much everything! They're great with plaid, leopard, or florals which are some of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteVery nice look!
ReplyDeletecute outfit! I love the scarf!
ReplyDeleteLove the red cardigan and the striped top !

I didn't start pattern mixing until I started blogging either and I love it now! Such a cute combination of plaid and stripes!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to wearing non-maternity clothes again! I love the cardigan you picked--the red makes the outfit pop and also pulls it all together.
ReplyDeleteThis whole combo is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern mixing and the pop of red from the cardigan really ties it all together!!

It feels so wrong to mix stripes and plaids. It bugs me when my husband mixes prints when dressing my little guy. I like the outfit if you toss the plaid. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at pattern mixing and you do it so flawlessly. When I mix patterns sometimes, I realize halfway through the day that I'm severely clashing and by then it's too late because I wore the outfit out into the day haha. I need your help! xx adaatude.com
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! I feel like it's simple and not clashing at all. I'd be afraid I'd clash a lot with my patterns. I usually do wear stripes with plaid, but I feel like it looks silly.

Love the combination of prints and adore the touch of red
ReplyDeleteyessss that scarf is perfection! love how you styled it.
