They are somehow depressing to me, reminiscent of someone dressed out of a donated clothes box. It's not so much the patterns in itself, but the shapes.Only a teenager can pull it off, to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship/page/2#post-780513 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:29:13 +0000 Kyle 780513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little bit of this goes a long way for me. For me, it needs to look a little more intentional and a bit less haphazard. I'll just appreciate this look on others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship/page/2#post-780511 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:25:16 +0000 rae 780511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fireworks print = WANT! I'm fine with the juxtaposition, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship/page/2#post-780444 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:08:54 +0000 missvee 780444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's an interesting way of merchandising the clothes to catch the eye and get you thinking of how these items might work in your own closet. Would I wear these pieces as shown - nooooo, but there are lots of other more subtle variations that might work instead. Thanks for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship/page/2#post-780443 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:07:53 +0000 Lisa 780443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a nay. I don't mind pattern mixing but I'm starting to get too overloaded my it. That and color blocking is all I see in stores anymore right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship/page/2#post-780427 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 10:59:07 +0000 Deborah 780427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not attractive to my eye primarily because I don't this look would communicate what I want it to about me. I do like that striped coat though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship/page/2#post-780413 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 08:52:35 +0000 rute 780413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never say never, but right now it seems odd, 2 years ago I did not wore any patterns, so I'm still adjusting my eye to patterns and doing some small mixes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship/page/2#post-780410 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 08:47:44 +0000 lyn67 780410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashion forward, indeed, but I think the whites of the manequins are a bit distracting, and some of them would look much better and not that stiff in IRL, when accessorizied accordingly. I love the stripe coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780354 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:45:18 +0000 MsMary 780354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first and third, but the one with the teal lace is not doing anything for me at all.</p> <p>Love that fireworks print!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780350 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:42:07 +0000 morethanbeige 780350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I sort of like the first one with the stripes and fireworks, but the second one with the teal lace is not pleasing to my eye. Might need some eye adjustment for these new pairings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780344 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:31:42 +0000 JennyK (NC) 780344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oof. I had a pretty extreme negative reaction to these pics. I have experimented a bit with pattern mixing but always in a very subtle way. I just don't see the appeal in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780339 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:06:51 +0000 cciele 780339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'll sit this out -- my style has been moving away from this kind of busyness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780337 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:03:49 +0000 sinead 780337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m with those who look for some cohesion in the pattern mixing. Photo 2 seems to do this and photo 1 just makes me anxious- I'm looking for a piece that ties it together but it's not there. But I do enjoy dressy-casual combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780333 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 02:50:54 +0000 Anonymous 780333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Appropriate for today's topic of wild pattern-mixing &amp; outlandish outfits, it's Dr. John's birthday today!<br /> <a href="http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/live-review-dr-john" rel="nofollow">http://www.nodepression.com/pr.....ew-dr-john</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780302 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 01:23:24 +0000 Jaime 780302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the lace top and striped bottom but don't like the color combination. I like the galaxy print with the striped coat. After reading Anna's comment I am wondering if they are trying to move merchandise though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780297 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 01:00:31 +0000 annagybe 780297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those fireworks items must not be selling. They've been in the store for a couple months now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780279 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:20:44 +0000 DonnaF 780279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rather like the hectic look of pattern mixing, but done this way, (esp. #1), it does not at all look intentional. It reminds me of a very young child who has dressed herself in the morning or of a homeless person trying to stay covered and warm. The coat over the dress (#2) looks *just* okay to my eye because it does not look intentional but rather a pairing from what the person's wardrobe happened to offer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780266 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:08:59 +0000 Thistle 780266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say, it looks like the mannequinn got dressed in the dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780254 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:42:27 +0000 Sveta 780254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second on wit the coat butnthe first picture leaves me cold...and I quite like pattern mixing.<br /> I think it is a thin line you walk with pattern mixing. The first example seems to me like 'Hey, pattern mix is on trend, whatever you throw on together is cool just because it is a pattern mix!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780251 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:40:26 +0000 Janet 780251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Rita and Sara. I don't mind some pattern mixing, but to me the patterns need to relate. Sometimes it can seem too random to me. </p> <p>I doubt I'll participate in the pattern mixing trend to any significant degree. I'll keep it subtle to moderate. I've got enough going on in my style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780245 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:34:38 +0000 Sara L. 780245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not against pattern mixing but I'm with @modgirl and like some sort of cohesion between patterns. Otherwise, to me, it just looks like you got dressed in the dark and put on whevever random clothes came to hand. I like dressy and casual together although in real life I find it hard to pull off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780238 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:59:15 +0000 amiable 780238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea..... But hmmm, not really these examples. I think I'm having more troubles with the pattern mixing that seems to clash to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780235 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:48:54 +0000 Susie 780235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To clairfy, I love the dichotomy of dressy and casual together; it's the pattern mixing that I find unattractive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780234 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:44:22 +0000 RoseandJoan 780234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the look of this but my eye is searching for simplicity right now. I think I am reacting against the longevity of the pattern mixing trend.</p> <p>I also wonder how Joe Public will react to the look, will it be a case of spending hours to refine the look only to be accused of taking a tumble through a jumble sale? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780229 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:37:45 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 780229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not feeling the teal lace/diagonals skirt but the other two with the galaxy/firework print are GREAT! Love.</p> <p>I love mixing dressy/casual and patterns as a rule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780226 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:30:52 +0000 Susie 780226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, the first 2 pictures look like the stylist only had time to change the top and left on a totally unrelated bottom. </p> <p>I'm with Jamie- where do you draw the line? It's like the Emperor's new clothes. When will someone be willing to speak up and say let's quit pretending? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780224 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:23:22 +0000 modgrl 780224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very pro pattern mixing but there has to be some cohesion between the colors, patterns, textures, etc. The outfit with the teal lace top looks like it was put together by a homeless prostitute. I like the one with the fireworks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780222 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:15:02 +0000 Jamie 780222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like these examples, but after a while I struggle with these kinds of pattern mixing. When does it look chic and modern, and when does it cross the line and just look wacky? Or is there a line any more? I don't know. I'm new to pattern mixing, but when I attempt to do it, I like there to be some kind of common thread I'm following. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780221 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:13:41 +0000 kkards 780221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I was 20, I'd be all over it. I'm not sure that I could carry it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/msgm-patten-mixing-nordies-flagship#post-780216 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 20:58:21 +0000 rachylou 780216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It fits my mood completely. I think with the hard economic times, the fussiness required by matching is out. </p>
