I have had many requests from friends to have these entire outfits, down to the shoes, materialize in their closets tomorrow. So I think they are a hit and glad they inspired some of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-604108 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:34:09 +0000 Inge 604108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to the party, but huge congratulations, Laura! You nailed it. And yes, I can totally imagine how time-consuming and so not easy this is. I love all four outfits, and think my favourites are 1 and two. One because the stripes + those fun pants make me smile. Two because I adore that colour palette and the elegance of this outfit.</p> <p>Here's to many more style stories from talented you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-604016 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:40:20 +0000 Kiwichik 604016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great article I'm filing it away to pull out when I'm brave enough to start pattern mixing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-603895 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:39:17 +0000 bj1111 603895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think i've been bitten by the pattern mixing bug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-603244 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:04:51 +0000 modgrl 603244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awesome!!

Maybe your work has encouraged all sorts of ladies to branch out and embrace some pattern mixing :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-603036 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 19:05:45 +0000 Laura 603036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Cocolion, yes, the outfits are very modern classic, aren't they? I am in a modern classic mood lately. I'd say the JCrew outfits skew a little preppier, and maybe a little younger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-602954 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:09:19 +0000 MsMary 602954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great article and fantastic outfits! I would totally wear any of them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-602952 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:07:41 +0000 CocoLion 602952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You created wearable, modern classic outfits for this article. The fourth example uses elements that many of us have in our closet (boot cuts, printed shirt). And I learned something new -- to use similar fabrications when undertaking "advanced pattern mixing." Makes sense. Well done Laura! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-602946 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:59:09 +0000 jayne 602946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! Well done. I was going to comment but I have to join and I avoid joining too much! But you deserve applause! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-602936 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:48:05 +0000 celia 602936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations .I like all the outfits but would probably be more comfortable wearing look 2 with the tweed skirt.<br /> Your outfits are beautiful and will make happy different personalities and levels of comfort on pattern mixing.Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-602929 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:43:17 +0000 Jjsloane 602929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific job.

I love looks 2 and 4 (simply because those are the two I can see myself wearing comfortably) but the simple and detailed explanation of pattern mixing is perfect in all of the looks.<br /> Hope to see more of your style posts from that blog </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-101---my-first-magazine-style-story#post-602845 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:44:06 +0000 Laura 602845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone - my personal favorite is the tweed skirt outfit, followed by the faded jeans outfit. Would love to know which ones you like best!</p> <p>Angie makes this look easy in her blog posts and it's SO not. Not only do you have to have a clue that the items are good in real life, they have to look good together on the screen, and then imagine my dismay at putting an entire outfit together based on a blouse that's suddenly sold out or unavailable!!
