I love the slouchy bf jeans in 1, and i'm all over the mixed animal prints! 2 is just genius styling and very chic on you.

Perfect stylings in every outfit. And that bag in #2 is super fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1465405 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 23:38:54 +0000 rabbit 1465405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Scarlet </b>- Good to know that the layered&nbsp;pattern mix doesn't work quite as well as the others&nbsp;to your eye.</p> <p><b>Firecracker</b> - thanks, I think <b>rachy </b>once mentioned regency dressing styles, or multiple changes during the day depending on what one is doing. &nbsp;I'm like that, so I'll wear warmer and cooler clothes during the same day depending when I'm venturing out of the house, so my short-sleeves tend to get out and about in winter too (under a jacket outside, but not as much indoors).</p> <p>Thanks<b> Neel </b>and <b>Jenny H</b> :)</p> <p><b>Rachylou</b> - I want to see your coat if it still works in your current weather. &nbsp;I bet it suits you to a tee :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464652 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 13:02:09 +0000 Jenny H 1464652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are wonderful. I love, love, love the last look and that Cynthia Rowley top is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464601 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 06:41:01 +0000 rachylou 1464601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, the double plaid blows it out of the water for me :)</p> <p>I got a leopard coat at the sales. It has a removable fuzzy collar. Maybe I should try removing it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464584 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 05:03:41 +0000 Neel 1464584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you been crowned Queen Pattern Mixing yet? My favorite has to be #1. Very clever mix of scale and pattern :-)</p> <p>#2 and #3 are gorgeous too. Especially love the shoes in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464571 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 04:04:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1464571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all! I think the boyfriend jeans are super with outfit 1, <i>and</i> it would also work with skinnies. The leopard on leopard is a great idea and works well. Also plaid on plaid in 2 and your pattern mixing in 3. <br />A little like Suz, I was thinking a short-sleeved top is not what I wear in winter, even in our mild winter this year. But that's me--I run cold, as Angie puts it. Even in summer, I tend to wear a cardigan over my short-sleeved tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464569 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 03:59:08 +0000 Scarlet 1464569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really interesting pattern mixing. To my eye 2 and 3, 3 especially, work really well, whereas 1 reads as more busy. I think the baggy BFs are fine though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464565 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 03:52:12 +0000 rabbit 1464565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Isabel</b> and<b> Suz</b> -- Aw, thanks. &nbsp;Actually these posts were my few most favorite winter outfits, so you aren't seeing the ones that were more works in progress &nbsp;But I have plenty of works-in-progress for spring and summer and some could definitely benefit from forum help.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks <b>Vildy</b>, <b>Momo</b>, and <b>merwoman</b>!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Suz</b> - apologies, that was a warmer day and a little unfair to group in while you guys are soldiering on through the white drifts.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>AM</b>- that's a good point, pattern can read as texture and vice-versa. &nbsp;Lol at your kitty. &nbsp;I can fit cans of cat food and bags of treats in there so it's good for a quick errand to the shop.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>shevia</b> - thanks, yes, I found that black and white shoes were very useful, these unfortunately are &nbsp;well-loved and the stuffing is coming out at the heel since the inner lining is so worn away, so I'm hoping b/w oxfords can take over part of their role.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>trekkiegirl</b> - thanks!. Carrying a bag was pretty new to me about a year ago, but I really quickly got into how it could add something to an outfit and combed Goodwill for interesting bags that worked with my wardrobe.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464557 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 03:10:54 +0000 trekkiegirl 1464557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, and you have an amazing accessories collection! My fave is the double plaid, but all 3 pretty sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464543 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 02:42:40 +0000 Jaime 1464543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous all around. I think the bf jeans work in #1, and actually it is my favorite, but slouchy skinnies would probably work too. Love how the boots work in #2 and the leather jacket is excellent on you. I am really struck how perfect the sneakers in #3 are for you with your fair skin and dark hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464540 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 02:20:17 +0000 AM 1464540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful looks. Seemingly bold but they all maintain such superb balance that everything looks controlled. The leopard/leopard reads almost as texture and #3 is skilled pattern mixing. And I love the cat bag. One of my kittens is eyeing it over my shoulder at I look at this post... </p> <p>Very well done. &nbsp;Your style is shining.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464538 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 02:04:27 +0000 merwoman 1464538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you had me at 'leopard on leopard' - love your double plays!</p> <p>Jeans in #1 look great, love the drape and how the faded wash serves as a counter point to the darker elements (boots and that coat!).</p> <p>Plaid on plaid is stellar in #2&nbsp;- grandpa's scarf plays so nicely with that great bag!</p> <p>And all those prints in #3 could get out of control, but you brilliantly keep it together with a limited colour palette. </p> <p>Love your style Rabbit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464534 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 01:46:21 +0000 Momo 1464534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fantastic. Number three is jaw droppingly amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464529 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 01:35:52 +0000 Suz 1464529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excuse me while I get over my envy of the fact that "colder weather" for you entails leather jackets and no socks.</p> <p>Sigh.&nbsp;</p> <p>This, for me, would herald "warmer" temps. And dressing like <b>a real human being. !!!!!</p> <p></b>Okay, now that I have got that off my chest, you look amazing in all of these.&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>I like #1 with the baggy BFs but it would look equally good with a less baggy pant.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 made me smile so hard!! LOVE it. An inspired pattern mix, and what a bag!&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is such a fun play of textures and colour blocking (as well as pattern mixing). You're a fashion genius in my books, who can do no wrong.&nbsp;</p> <p><b></p> <p></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwinwinter-pattern-matchy-and-mix-y#post-1464528 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 01:34:37 +0000 Vildy 1464528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really enjoy your pattern mixing skills.
