I am blushing all day not else. "Killer" and "catwalk look" from <b>Angie</b> is really a great deal and&nbsp; I just cannot believe my outfits are that good but certainly was enjoying wearing and putting them together:-).</p> <p>The pleated plaid midi and the plaid wide pants are my&nbsp; true <b>wild cards</b> this season.&nbsp;</p> <p>I loved the new culotte looks for 2 years and&nbsp; have now&nbsp; a small collection of them but only wearable in summer. I&nbsp; wanted one for colder weather. This one(H&amp;M) is a tweed which has burgundy in&nbsp; it (another love) and hope to work well with&nbsp; sweaters and boots in winter, too.</p> <p>The A line midi is a look I've done a lot in my early twenties and loved it esp. with combats-&nbsp; later with pointy toes but hey, I was like a stick back then-&nbsp; not curvy (and 50!:-)). Still, I have NEVER EVER in my life done the pleats on my own will!!!&nbsp; I had aversion of pleated skirts as it was our&nbsp; uniform&nbsp; for dressy in low school (knee length plain black &amp; a white button down) back then. Later I always thought they are too grown up, lady like&amp;fussy,&nbsp; even a bit of matronly and not so flattering on curves.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, I was very skeptical at the beginning but have seen some gorgeous&nbsp; pleated midis here on the YLF and so was encouraged to try. And yes, this one is a subtle a plaid in a very thin (no wrinkle-no fuss!) fabric and&nbsp; totally flat on the hips so decided it is JFE and&nbsp; a gorgeous combo for my fall colors, so I kept.</p> <p>The puffer in nr 4&nbsp; is actually DH's and a vest(!) I have often&nbsp; worn over my black denim jacket and my grey chuncky cardigan&nbsp; for driving the car on&nbsp; colder mornings. Other things are from last year. Aztec mustard cardi and white western boots were barely worn,&nbsp; I just&nbsp; needed pieces and colors to come together.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and just wanted to highlight the use of my flat loafers (black and burgundy patent) which are my new love and&nbsp; replacing my previous go to block heeled or low wedged balerina/pumps.</p> <p><b>Thank you again</b> for looking and complimenting&nbsp; my outfits and my DD:-) it was a blast to read and learn.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-nod-to-the-maximal-trend-my-way-pattern-mixing#post-1966320 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 06:18:59 +0000 Jessikams 1966320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspiring, especially 8, 9, 19.

You have nailed the pattern mix. I love #8/9 most. Those pieces look like they belong together. If this outfit were on a manaquin, they would sell out quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-nod-to-the-maximal-trend-my-way-pattern-mixing#post-1966311 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 04:09:11 +0000 Sal 1966311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great looks - I love 8/9, 13 and 18.&nbsp; And your daughter looks great too.</p> <p>You made it look simple!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-nod-to-the-maximal-trend-my-way-pattern-mixing#post-1966310 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 03:56:03 +0000 Brooklyn 1966310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Since you have the same colors in the outfits they all look intentional not chaotic. Why are the photos diagonal though? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-nod-to-the-maximal-trend-my-way-pattern-mixing#post-1966101 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 14:40:30 +0000 JAileen 1966101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your mixing. Sometimes I see people wearing what looks like random pieces, and I think, wow - they should have turned the light on.
