A boyfriend blazer in navy would look killer with this dress too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212853 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:53:21 +0000 Isabel 212853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really like this. Pattern mixing is so hard, but you hit the nail on the head, in my opinion/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212743 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:31:37 +0000 shana 212743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would prefer it with a denim jacket - I think it needs that anchor to bring it all together. The dress is gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212728 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:55:27 +0000 Lisa 212728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit as in, great pattern mix here, definitely not pattern mixing 101 anymore you have graduated. I like the suggestions of a vest or jacket too though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212720 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:45:02 +0000 Boof 212720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, although it's not a look I'm brave enough to pull off myself. I love the idea of a denim vest or jacket with it...or even a cardi in a solid color. I do like it *as is* though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212483 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:59:56 +0000 Jonesy 212483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments, everyone!</p> <p>Yep, I have a denim vest that I've worn over it (though never with the scarf--the scarf is new, so I wanted to try it out with the dress). Maybe I should have thrown that into the mix for the pic...Always new style horizons to move toward :).</p> <p>Re. Kasmira: Her pattern mixing is off the hook! Talk about having fun with fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212480 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:53:09 +0000 Kristen 212480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Kellygirl's suggestion of a denim vest. I adore pattern mixing, and I really like what you have done here. But I read a lot of style blogs like Kasmira and others, and it always seems to me that boldest pattern-mixing works best when you have a solid color somewhere anchoring the outfit and letting your eye have fun skipping over it to the next pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212466 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:37:02 +0000 kellygirl 212466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, Jonesy! I would not have thought to put the two patterns together but it looks great. Have you tried it with a cropped denim vest? I wonder if that would help rein it in since you said a belt looks weird. Honestly though, it looks great as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212447 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:12:30 +0000 FiestyWife 212447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonsey, while I personally probably wouldn't wear this combination of patterns I LOVE that you are trying it! Bravery in fashion is so exciting and inspirational. I agree with Queenie that something to pull the blue out or maybe a tweedy/herringboney pattern would be interesting. Also, I think that dress is amazing! Love the pattern &amp; colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212443 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:04:15 +0000 taylor 212443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting!!</p> <p>I really love that dress.!! scarf and watch, so stylish!<br /> I Love the idea of patter mixing, but never have figured it out. Your booties are killing me so FAB!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212440 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:00:35 +0000 Scarlet 212440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually this totally works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212407 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:29:09 +0000 Jonesy 212407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Renata, those clogs are amazing! Is that a patchwork of suede and leather, all done in russet hues?! Too fab.</p> <p>Queenie, I see what you mean about the blue. I do typically wear a (blue) denim jacket with this, which also helps to break up the pattern and deal with the undefined waist issue. Maybe some blue socks peeking out of the ankle boots :)? (just kidding) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212385 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:14:58 +0000 Queen Mum 212385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like pattern mixing, and I love the idea you're going for here, but for some reason I can't give this particular combo a 10.<br /> I think I'm wanting to see something that would pull out the blue in the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212384 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:14:18 +0000 Misia 212384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It totally works, I love it!!!</p> <p>I'm including closeup pic of my clogs for you, just because you asked:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212376 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:08:32 +0000 Tara 212376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jonesy,</p> <p>I quite like it! I am a huge fan of pattern mixing myself :-)<br /> I think the colours in the scarf tie in well with the dress and the boots "bookend" with the darker tones in the scarf.</p> <p>Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-pattern-mixing#post-212371 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:05:13 +0000 Jonesy 212371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rather like this combo, but I was curious about what the YLFers would think! Note: This dress has an empire waist, so belting it looks weird. OTOH, when you look at it, it sort of cries out for some waist definition. So, I usually solve this dilemma by wearing something over the dress (e.g., a denim jacket), but for this pic, I wanted to show just the dress/scarf combo to see what people thought about the pattern mixing. </p> <p>Dress: Anthropologie<br /> Leopard-patterned scarf: Ann Taylor<br /> Wedge ankle boots: Naot </p>
