A few tips on mixing patterns:
- Choose pieces within the same color range or colors that flow well together. Neutrals like black, white, gray, navy, and taupe, for example, are good choices to mix together or with brighter colors.
- Don't go too crazy! =D
- Stripes, polka dots, and floral prints are great paired with each other.
- Select patterns that are relatively the same size. Example: Thin striped top with delicate polka dots on the bottom. Or a larger print on the bottom works as well.
- When mixing printed accessories, break up the pieces or separate them with a solid (black is good) . Example: a light olive paisley scarf paired with a tan/white shirt, black pants and leopard print shoes.
Hope that helps any of you interested in trying the trend.
I'm off to bed. School and work tomorrow. Have a great Wednesday all!

oh i love the mixed patterns!!!! florals and stripes look so pretty together :)
Why eeek ? It came up so well :) You can do better though, some bright red skirt would go awesome instead of that navy, to give a pop of color, and bright color look great on fair skinned people :)
