Yes, the plaid and the brooch are new to my eyes on you and you pull it off, Suz. </p> <p>I haven't yet looked back at your link on Angie's article, but could it also be compatible size, color and scale of combined patterns that make everything so pleasing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090722 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:47:33 +0000 Anonymous 1090722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such fun!

You DO look like Mary's twin.&nbsp;Very maximal <i>for you</i> - and you look just as fabulous. Nice to remix and change things up. Why not. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090710 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:39:02 +0000 Greyscale 1090710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the details - the blue shirt under the stripes, the leopard belt. It comes together very well. I'm working on ways to get a similar mixed-materials look in my monochrome&nbsp;palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090700 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:31:46 +0000 hedgiehog 1090700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never think of putting all those together but you make it look so effortless. Loving the boots on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090697 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:31:22 +0000 carter 1090697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loks great on you. Love how you added a brooch to the scarf knot. Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090664 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:59:10 +0000 Suz 1090664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LBD, that's hilarious. I always get that image when I'm about to pattern mix, too. I think it's easiest with graphic geometrics in neutrals (or near neutrals...red's a neutral, right?) Dots, stripes, tartan. Mixing scale can work or keeping the scale the same. Angie has some fab posts with how-to-do-it.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/30/pattern-mixing-for-beginners/">http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/.....beginners/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/12/13/advanced-pattern-mixing-is-on-trend/">http://youlookfab.com/2011/12/.....-on-trend/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090628 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:35:20 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1090628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I freakin' LOVE this!&nbsp; &nbsp; I'm trying to figure out the how and why these patterns work so well together... when I mix patterns, I always feel like I should be pushing a rusted shopping cart full of stray cats.</p> <p>Seriously, I'm asking.&nbsp; Why do these patterns work so well together?&nbsp; &nbsp; Is it color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090612 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:23:55 +0000 MsMary 1090612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!&nbsp; So fun!&nbsp; i love the brooch and htose boots are spectacular!</p> <p>*blushing madly* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-maryk-stripes-plaid-leopard-and-boots#post-1090608 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:21:06 +0000 Alexandra 1090608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really nice!
