Edginess and bombshell, definitely!&nbsp; That's a very pretty scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1294114 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 16:28:04 +0000 Diana 1294114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!&nbsp; I think this pattern mix really works and I like the RATE bombshell combo. </p> <p>Re: scarves.&nbsp; I have a similar problem with many infinity scarves because they just hang too low on my short torso.&nbsp; What works better for me is to get a square scarf (not too big), fold it in half to a triangle and knot the two ends together.&nbsp; Then wear like a bandanna/infinity hybrid.&nbsp; This tends to be shorter in front than a regular infinity (plus you can adjust it by tying it tighter or looser) and the point is like a v neck which is always flattering for a short neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293870 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 11:23:50 +0000 rute 1293870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

It doesn't dominate the outfit, and the contrast of graphic stripe with floral is really easy on the eyes. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293856 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 10:28:13 +0000 Anonymous 1293856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293825 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:28:29 +0000 Caro in Oz 1293825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this mix - YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293761 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 05:04:39 +0000 Neel 1293761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stories and florals are the best pattern mix ever! Love this outfit on you and I no nothing about scarves :D. But it does look good the way it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293754 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 04:55:15 +0000 Dee 1293754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favorites on you - everything works so well. The scarf looks fine to me, but I have similar problems with infinity scarves where two loops looks long and messy/fussy but three is too tight. If you figure out a solution, I'd love to hear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293747 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 04:39:04 +0000 Marley 1293747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute Katie! &nbsp;Perfect mix of bombshell with RATE. &nbsp;The floral scarf works IMO (I always kind of struggle with them too). &nbsp;I really like it with the stripes - and your shoes repeat the stripe pattern - very cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293732 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 04:06:28 +0000 Anonymous 1293732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all looks great on you. The floral scarf with the stripes is a wonderful mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293724 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 03:56:44 +0000 MsLuna 1293724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank Lyn! I think deep down, despite all the RATE fluid waist-surrendering styles I've been wearing, there's still a bombshell there. I have another outfit in mind that's a bit more bombshell than this but we will save that for another time ;)</p> <p>And the scarf thing - yeahhhh... The scarf was border lining fussy but because it's an infinity scarf it stayed put. I can't do longer knotted styles and I never really worn my scarf infinity style before... :p love this floral print though! $8!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293706 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 03:29:22 +0000 lyn* 1293706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, your VC skirt definitely has bombshell qualities! I really like the more floral elements with the stripe - I don't think there's really a wrong way to wear a scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0702-pattern-mixing-oh-my#post-1293697 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 03:17:06 +0000 MsLuna 1293697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You would think that someone with a degree in graphic design AND who has worked in the field for many years would know her way around pattern mixing right? Hmm... Perhaps, but I never quite found the right patterns to mix... Until now.</p> <p>This outfit makes me proud. It's one part tough UWP-ish, one part comfy chic, one part bombshell. I'm shameless in capitalizing on the bombshell qualities of the VC skirt. Yes, I can be RATE, but it doesn't mean I have to de-bombshell everything, right? </p> <p>Comfort is high here. All breathable fabrics which make for a happy Katie. I can move in it (ok limited leg motion on the VC skirt but it streeeeeeeetches). No pinching, squishing or bunching. </p> <p>Life is good.</p> <p>Vest: Smart Set<br /> Top: Old Navy<br /> Skirt: Vince Camuto<br /> scarf: Reitmans<br /> Shoes: Naot</p> <p>ETA: I forgot to mention that I think I wore the scarf weird. My short-necked, short torso self isn't used to wearing them. This is an infinity scarf. Did I wear this appropriately? </p>
