A great pattern mix in a classic palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525454 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 02:01:56 +0000 Jenn 1525454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Cheryle</b> and <b>Deborah</b>!</p> <p><b>Aida&nbsp;</b>- Insightful question. Both these pieces are stretchy (but thick) polyester-spandex and I'll be 100% honest, if someone told me I could never wear either again, I wouldn't be disappointed. I like the colors, the fact that the white is actually off-white, and the shape of the wrap top. I wish the skirt had more structure. I think I'd be happier in a natural fiber wrap dress in a similar silhouette.</p> <p><b>L'Abeille&nbsp;</b>- Thanks! I was really surprised when I put these together, to discover how well the blacks and whites matched. It probably helps the "dress effect" that both items are a similar fabric composition too.</p> <p><b>Joy -&nbsp;</b>No comments, but my day consisted of working at home, plus a few errands, so I wasn't around friends or coworkers (not that I have any coworkers, really).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525435 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 01:30:01 +0000 Anonymous 1525435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. Both patterns have a retro look. Did you get any comments? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525433 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 01:21:52 +0000 L'Abeille 1525433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really good, Jenn... It looks so intentional that it could be a dress that came that way, and I suspect those are the kinds of comments you will get. (Pattern mixing as a concept is so out there for most people that it wouldn't occur to them to try it unless it came that way.). That's the reaction I got when, with some trepidation, I wore a black and white zebra top with a black and grey zebra skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525418 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 00:53:34 +0000 Aida 1525418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pattern mix! Having the primary colors (black, white) in both items makes the mix easier. GREAT silhouette on you, very flattering. How did you feel in this outfit? Does it feel like it takes you towards your style goals? I ask because while I don't recall seeing many retro elements in your Pinterest board, I think that it suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525339 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 22:43:41 +0000 Deborah 1525339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant pattern mixing. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525336 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 22:41:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1525336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pattern mixing Jenn. &nbsp;You varied the scale but kept common colors. &nbsp;It really is a nice silhouette on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525272 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 20:34:53 +0000 Jenn 1525272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew! Thank you, all. It can feel pretty exposing to wear something different out into the world and all your kind comments are like a protective cocoon. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525253 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 20:12:21 +0000 Angie 1525253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super.

It's phenomenally good...you look stunning. And the silhouette plus pattern has whittled down your waist....it's SOOO flattering on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525145 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:24:15 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1525145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn it looks great! &nbsp;I like the pop of red in the top and the two prints go well to my eyes. &nbsp;I also like the variety in size of the prints (skirt smallerish print and top larger print - but no too large). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-mixing-3#post-1525143 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:22:09 +0000 Anonymous 1525143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works well!

Let's talk about the pattern-mixing. This is pretty out-there for me. Does it work?</p> </p>
