I often mix a glen plaid like that with leopard print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700276 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:09:32 +0000 Ingunn 700276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! The shoes and scarf are not thrifted, only the vest is. But the vest tied the other two nicely together, it seems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700274 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:08:06 +0000 Anonymous 700274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works to my eye because all of the tones are the same and the size of the patterns are different. Loving that scarf and those shoes - great thrift finds!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700256 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:33:48 +0000 cjh 700256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late in answering, but I think this is FAB!

I like the combination too, and it looks fine to me, but I've never been aware of all the do's and don'ts in fashion until now, so I wanted to make sure:) </p> <p>In general, what "fashion rules" do you apply to your own pattern mixing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700164 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:29:09 +0000 Anonymous 700164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it is fab to wear leopard and snakeskin!<br /> I think they go really well since the colors are quite similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700149 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:17:06 +0000 Anonymous 700149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is great pattern mixing because the colours are all harmonious. Good find! I love the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700148 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:15:28 +0000 harmonica 700148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this pattern mixing! It is very subtle when the colours are so close. I'm not sure I'm the best to answer about pattern mixing because I'm quite new at it. Mostly, I think I mix colours and then the pattern sometimes just happen to be there too... Lets see what other say. Oh and I think Angie had a post on it, but I can't fint it now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700147 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:15:07 +0000 ramya 700147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks just fab :)..

I'd wear it! Looks sophisticated to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700142 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:10:49 +0000 Anonymous 700142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big thumbs up from me. I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-how-to-succeed#post-700138 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:04:20 +0000 Ingunn 700138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I dropped by the Fretex (Salvation Army) thrift store, and I found a vest/waistcoat in brown plaids. I really liked it, and I should think it is on trend this season (men's wear inspired, equestrian etc.) </p> <p>To my point: When at home, I realized that the colors matched very well with my new snakeskin ballet flats, and also with my leopard print scarf in wool/silk. Is it a bummer to wear both leopard and snakeskin prints in the same outfit? How do you ladies proceed when you match several prints? I find it very challenging! </p>
