It's really lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-598037 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:15:09 +0000 crazyone 598037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, ladies! I love the pattern on the skirt, as well as the fit. Kyle, can't wait to see your outfit, and you just gave me an idea of my own (for cooler days than yesterday was)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597924 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:39:03 +0000 Astrid 597924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pattern mixing and a beautiful outfit!

I love the sailboats on the skirt. So cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597752 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:14:24 +0000 Anonymous 597752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I'm back and I totally love this! It's perfect on you and a genius pattern mix. Way to go you gorgeous gal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597575 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 02:13:50 +0000 Aida 597575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally works and totally fun! I love it, especially with the nude flats. Your hair looks extra lovely as the darkest element in this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597539 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:27:45 +0000 MsMary 597539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Genius!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597537 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:26:36 +0000 ManidipaM 597537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FANTASTIC outfit! You look super-stylish. Great choice to match print colours, and the full skirt silhouette with fitted top and ballet shoes looks beautifully retro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597523 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:09:47 +0000 Kyle 597523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think this works. The color and scale are good, and it feels nice. A little eclectic, but still pulled together. And, oddly, I'm planning to pattern mix a navy and while sailboat skirt with a striped boatneck tee tomorrow. What a fun coincidence! Thanks for the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597516 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:00:45 +0000 crazyone 597516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I have seen the Talented Mr Ripley, but it was a while ago, so I don't remember the outfits. In some ways, I do think of pattern mixing as very vintage, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597468 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:39:36 +0000 Carole 597468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597466 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:36:08 +0000 christieanne 597466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had not read Denise's comment and thought the same thing - straight out of Talented Mr Ripley wardrobe! Inspired mixing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597456 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:24:00 +0000 CocoLion 597456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works beautifully! It reminds me of something the wealthy Americans wore in the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley." They lived on the Italian coast -- Jude Law, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchette and Gwyneth Paltrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597453 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:21:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 597453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this works really well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597423 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:19:24 +0000 catgirl 597423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Need a photo but it sounds inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advanced-pattern-mixing-for-summer-weather#post-597422 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:18:19 +0000 Anonymous 597422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for being brave.

Pictures later tonight, but the elements are the silk floral top from this WIW:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/both-nyc-meetup-pieces-in-one-outfit" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....one-outfit</a></p> <p>and the sailboat skirt here:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-keep-or-return" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-or-return</a></p> <p>I tucked the silk top into the skirt, and wore nude patent ballet flats (generously sent to me by bj1111 last year).</p> <p>Do you think this works? Now I've added a photo! I got two compliments on it today (after I posted about it originally), one person telling me that I was an "outfit-making machine" (there was some context for this). </p>
