It was fun to wear this maximal outfit and even better to hear that it looks OK. Firecracker, I need a few bigger cardigans. They can quickly overwhelm but this is a wardrobe area that needs some attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738686 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 17:18:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1738686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fun idea, and it works well. I think the moto boots are great, because they keep the look very casual, and I like the way they ground the look with a little toughness. I think I prefer the outfit without the cardi, not because of the pattern mix, but because I would like to see a bigger cardigan over the whole lot--more like a grandpa or cocoon style, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738676 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 16:39:27 +0000 Elizabeth P 1738676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, this looks amazing!&nbsp; The colours and size of the patterns are perfect for maximal mixing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738665 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 15:26:10 +0000 Sara L. 1738665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a maximal person but I really like this outfit.&nbsp; The plaid and leopard print are very complimentary together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738663 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 15:19:49 +0000 Mirjana 1738663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Normally I don't like to much mix but I like your version, it's a fun I love with the cardigan, lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738654 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 14:53:52 +0000 Inge 1738654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun, and playful with the addition of the cardigan (excellent pattern mixing).

ElCee, the addition of the cardi kept me warm enough for early morning and the other layers were comfortable the rest of the day. So the outfit also met the weekly challenge too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738452 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 00:59:32 +0000 Eliza 1738452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maximal and fab, Joy.

The tones work well together. I would not change a thing. The outfit is terrific.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738433 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 00:09:57 +0000 Anonymous 1738433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Tanya, UmmLila, Tracey, and Ledonna. UmmLila, this striped tee mixes easily with other patterns. It has often been paired with a floral cardi and jacket. Wider stripes are harder to mix.<br /> Ledonna, this outfit made me think of you. The tee is thrifted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal-casual#post-1738424 Mon, 10 Oct 2016 23:39:38 +0000 Ledonna N. 1738424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you did that.

It gets more maximal with a leopard cardi with blue, cream, black and grey. The gold leaf necklace is s nod to a lovely autumn day and belonged to my mother. Is this too much? Would different jeans or boots be an improvement? Photos 5/6 are the outfit without the cardi.<br /> This outfit also fulfills my weekly challenge on El Cee's thread to dress for weather changes during the day.<br /> I welcome your thoughts and ideas.<br /> I tried the formula on Saturday with two button-down shirts, blue and white stripes under a red/blue flannel plaid, but got no photos. This combination was too fussy with the two sets of long sleeves. </p>
