You have given me the encouragement to continue trying some degree of maximal in my outfits, as unfrumped wisely suggests.<br /> Style Fan, Robin and Donna, that jacket was an Angie pick a few years ago from Target of all places. Actually it is lined and has held up well. I usually do pattern mix by wearing it with black and white polka dots but a plain yellow pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1778608 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 02:30:11 +0000 DonnaF 1778608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this!!! Especially the top half! Guess I like maximal. I want to steal that jacket. Yellow is so hard to find and goes so well with black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1778356 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 13:28:40 +0000 RobinF 1778356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you really nailed it! Love that jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1778351 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 12:23:02 +0000 unfrumped 1778351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wiw, this is truly artistic!</p> <p>I know it's not " maximal" to suggest this, but I could see PART of the pattern- mixing working for more regular, but still adventuresome, outfits. The plaid and the stripe both have that crisp black&amp; white graphic vibe and could mix even if you kept some other elements solid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1778318 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 09:59:09 +0000 Style Fan 1778318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit Joy.&nbsp; I love the jacket.&nbsp; Great maxi pattern mixing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1778306 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 09:23:29 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1778306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely ensemble.

I just hope to show that as one ages, they can still have fun with fashion... Maybe more easily because expectations of others can be low.<br /> Sara, I'm glad that you like the scarf with the jacket. I usually wear a black with white polkadot scarf with this jacket, but was looking for something I had that repeated the yellow/gold of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777992 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:19:38 +0000 Angie 1777992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>You are NAILING this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777975 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:34:56 +0000 Sara L. 1777975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! &nbsp;I love the scarf and the jacket together. &nbsp;The patterns are totally different but the colors are cohesive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777974 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:25:25 +0000 Mirjana 1777974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love outfit fantastic, especially like your yellow jacket, great combination.

To be totally maximal and get in a bit of Valentine and repeat the yellow, I did both jewelry and scarf. The jacket neckline calls for something. Wearing both, I can remove the scarf or wear it more open if it gets too warm.<br /> Lyn, Cynthia, Lisa, Joyce and Beth Ann, I am thrilled that you feel this maximal outfit is working. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777935 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:08:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1777935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;So glad to see bold mixing again on the forum! &nbsp;I love this outfit -- there's lots going on, but everything works together well to create a cohesive whole! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777931 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 13:20:01 +0000 Joyce B 1777931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great and well put together outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777921 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 12:33:25 +0000 Lisa 1777921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You nailed the maximal pattern mixing trend here, super fun outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777918 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 12:25:03 +0000 cindysmith 1777918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt and top are subtly patterned and allow that fab jacket to be the star.

I particularly like the yellow jacket, in spite of, or maybe because the checks don't line up at the seams. Scarf or beads? Or both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777855 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 04:40:36 +0000 Anonymous 1777855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, I know what you mean about the dull factor. The skirt I have is probably a good example of what Angie calls false-plain. It is black and white but looks plain grey from a distance. I usually wear it with red. It is a thrift store find Books Brothers, so needs to be de-dulled on a regular basis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kitchen-sink-mix-bumblebee-style#post-1777851 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 04:34:36 +0000 rachylou 1777851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the plaid on plaid!! That's the way to liven up a grey plaid ... I've been staring at my grey plaid trousers thinking about the dull factor... </p>
