i'm sort of scared of it and sort of liking it at the same time. weird.

opinions appreciated, as they always are when i try something new!

Hanna, I honestly think alarm clocks weren't working all over Chicago yesterday because mine didn't go off either! I overslept by an hour. Oops.

You look absolutely adorable in that outfit. Mixing patterns is quite the risk and you did it seamlessly!

I like it Hanna! Froma distance you can't see the patterns, but the colours look great. I love the unexpected suprise of the patterns close up!

I adore this-- and I love the cameo color matching the dress..I feel like it ties it all together....I wish I could find something like that a thrift store!! I am someone who would love to find vintage jewelery at thrift store but I have no idea what the best way to go about thrifting is. any pointers?

Very, very cute. Your outfit looks fantastic; I particularly like the colors!

I wish I had your courage! I'm so scared of pattern that I own very few items that aren't a solid color.

Love it, Hanna. I think you've done it expertly.

I mixed patterns the other day. It was a "without fear" challenge look but I didn't post it as such. http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=13

We both did a small stripe. I think it's a good way to start with mixing prints. Mixing florals, which I've been seeing in magazines, is just too expert to start with. I had a lot of fun wearing my multiple patterns. I hope you have a similar experience.

it's not specifically on jewellery... but it may help?

alecia, i missed your thread! you look so cute and summery! i love seersucker and i've been jonesing for a pair of pants just like that -- none that i've found seem to fit me right though :(.

Wow! Great job. I agree with Tam - because the patterns are small in scale, you can't really tell from a distance that you're mixing patterns. So it is a nice close-up surprise. It looks really good.

I love it. Very summery, very Americana. You pull the patterns together perfectly.
