Love the scarf and the boots especially </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976545 Thu, 22 Nov 2018 14:10:05 +0000 lyn67 1976545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those metallic boots are killer indeed! Love all the mixes, and I may NOT be a pro in pattern mix,&nbsp; but I mostly like if the colors are tonal, or really pop, so think in nr 4-5 the light blue of the bouclé like jacket/cardi&nbsp; is fighting a bit with the black-grey tonal pattern of the skirt, are the colors accurate in the picties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976518 Thu, 22 Nov 2018 12:05:48 +0000 Bijou 1976518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red velvet is always wonderful to me - well except in very hot weather! So fun that you are wearing this for the festive season.</p> <p>Of course I am going to be in love with your boots... they are sensational on you and well worth a bit of pain to get them onto your feet. Grandmother's scarf is just special.</p> <p>Favourite photo is #9 - you look so lovely here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976489 Thu, 22 Nov 2018 07:03:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1976489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I’m looking forward to your post later today, on my computer screen (I’m on my phone now). </p> <p>Thanks Shevia. It’s the only time of the year I feel red velvet is appropriate at the grocery store, so I might as well enjoy it. </p> <p>Joy, so far, I don’t have a topper for anything in the party capsule, so I needed the warmth. On the upside, the mall wasn’t so heated as to require taking off the jacket, just unzipping. Is the lumpiness your issue with 4/5? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976481 Thu, 22 Nov 2018 06:24:12 +0000 Anonymous 1976481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 6 and another vote for hair up. I don't think 4/5 or 8 is working but I have a bit of a poison eye for long sleeves under short sleeves. Try long sleeves under sleeveless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976470 Thu, 22 Nov 2018 04:27:38 +0000 Jaime 1976470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the party for every day look - great pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976406 Thu, 22 Nov 2018 00:06:13 +0000 Brooklyn 1976406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks FT. You inspired me to join in the fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976395 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 23:13:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1976395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Suz and Brooklyn, thanks for the luv for the shoes! They are a bear to get on, with my high arches, but once I get my foot in there, they fit like a dream. And they are fun to wear with nearly everything. </p> <p>Angie, i’m glad you like #4. I was a little worried about that one, mostly about the shapes/ the silhouette. </p> <p>Thanks Suz. I almost never match the scarf to anything, but it coordinates well with a lot of my things, and the cheerful color up by my face is always good in winter. </p> <p>Brooklyn, aw, it would’ve been fun to be shoebuddies. I’m glad you like 7/8! I thought of your amazing black &amp; white pattern mixes when I put it together and posted it, even though this is just a little mix with the scarf. </p> <p>Thanks Cee! (Psst—if I’m up here, you know it’s amateur hour!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976388 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 22:17:37 +0000 Cee 1976388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bravo ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976387 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 22:13:48 +0000 Brooklyn 1976387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those shoes. I almost bought them myself. Fun mixes. My favourite is 7/8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976296 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 17:34:43 +0000 Suz 1976296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are fabulous! They're the stars of the show. I really like the sweater in #1 on you as well. I think the plaid scarf works with it and is a lovely touch of colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976280 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 16:48:04 +0000 Angie 1976280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE those boots for you. Thanks for the close-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976270 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 16:17:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1976270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RL, too funny about the hair. I *used to* like it up too, but then the Florida heat made it necessary every day, 9 months (at least) a year, so wearing it down feels like a luxury. Eventually I should reach equilibrium agian. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976266 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 16:04:20 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1976266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, these are the boots. I watched them at Nordstrom and Anthropologie a long time before I got them. Then it was too warm to wear them—they’re one of the things I was most looking forward to getting with our shipment.<br /> How am I doing on the mixing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976262 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 15:46:20 +0000 rachylou 1976262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said.

May I see them up close? Festive and fun pattern mix,<b> FashIntern</b>. Gorgeous colours in the Granny got for you scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fun skirt-jacket-boots combo in #4 too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-bit-of-pattern-mixing#post-1976239 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 15:05:22 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1976239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At Angie’s request, though I forgot to link it to the blog post, don’t think I can add it now. </p> <p>Whatever’s underneath, by the time I’m wrapped up to go out, it all looks the same. The bomber jacket is brown, but I often wear it with black or any other color.</p> <p>1-3 Black Esprit pants, Seychelles gold faux brocade boots, LLBean bomber jacket, leopard pattern gloves with Thinsulate bought at TJ Max several years ago, plaid angora scarf my grandma got me in Scotland (she died 30 years ago—I like remembering her). Underneath b/w Laundry by S Segal sweater &amp; Black T-neck bodysuit (also, I remembered to wear something under the pants this time!)</p> <p>4-6. I wasn’t sure about this. Not just because of the patterns—I also wasn’t sure I liked the shapes together.<br /> Esprit tweedish cardi, M Dutti T-neck, Banana Republic skirt, Redwing boots, black fleece tights, LLBean bomber</p> <p>7-8 wearing party pieces in everyday life, barely counts as pattern mixing<br /> red velvet T-shirt, black Commando bodysuit, Banana Republic skirt, Redwing boots, LL Bean jacket, black &amp; white wool herringbone scarf.</p> <p>9 bye-bye </p>
