WIW - pattern mixing.

I went experimental this morning after reading today blog and decided to wear my patterned straight jeans with some other playful pieces mixing colors and prints.
The jeans are from Urban Outfitters - straight with relaxed look and low rise with subtle snake print. I’m still figuring out the best way to wear them.
The belt has black and off white snake print , the tank top is navy with off white graphic and the jacket is charcoal ( black sandals at work and grey sneakers for outside walk home / not shown ).

This is an excellent pattern mix! I especially like how you pick up the white print from the top with the white print in the belt. And those patterned straight jeans are such a fun piece! You look great!

Thank you, @Lisa! I originally did the same outfit with different jacket in soft white color and black belt - it worked but looked less exciting .

Oh, this is great! (And so nice to see you post. You are looking beautiful.) I really like the snakeskin jeans and I think they work very well with the graphic tee and I like both jackets, actuall! This is terrific Tomboy/ Tomgirl style. It looks very authentic.

Thank you @Suz! The Tomboy/Tomgirl sounds like a nice style direction - I may borrow it for a while! The patterned jeans were instant attraction - I even got the other version with dark red/black stripes - however the styling is challenging a bit.
I haven't posted much but I try to read blog and the forum enjoying everyone' stories and pictures.

What a smashing outfit, you look super fabulous! The subtle pattern mix is brilliant - it adds so much interest, but the outfit is still harmonious. I also like how the shape of the pattern in the graphic tea harmonizes with the pattern in the jeans. Sophisticated!

Fellow Tomgirl checking in! Love this outfit Slimcat, as well as the one with the lighter jacket, all though yes, it is a little less moody. Fabulous jeans. I have snake print skinnies, yours are nicer.

You’re looking gorgeous. Love the pants and especially like your cute earrings.

Great to see you! This is a fabulous pattern mix. Edgy cool. The jeans look great on you.

In the second version (with the white jacket), could you try same jacket and pants with a silver top? I think that would give it a similar vibe to the first outfit.

Slim cat - I had to jump back into this thread, I really like the white jacket outfit too. It’s a higher contrast outfit that really draws attention to the white details in the outfit while the darker jacket outfit gives off a more tonal column of color vibe. Two excellent options to pick from based on your mood of the day.

Super cool outfits with either jacket, love those jeans, such great pattern mixing.

You pattern mix shows so much personality! I love how it is playful and also dark and sophisticated at the same time. You look fantastic.

This is bonzer! (A compliment) I love snake print pants and you look amazing in these. The jacket being charcoal instead of black is the perfect touch.

KILLER pattern mix!

WONDERFUL to see you!

The punchy white snake skin belt makes the look, to my eye. Skillfully executed and looking better than ever!

Just saw the outfit with the white jacket! Also super cute.

I’d swap out the black belt for the white snake skin

Thank you @Katerina for lovely compliment!
Thank you @Star - you are "tomboy/tomgirl" superstar! Hope to see your snake print skinnies in action .
Thank you @Jenni NZ for noticing my earrings - it's my favorite accessory to play with!
Thank you @Brooklyn! I don't have silver top but I love the suggestion - now its the season to search for some fun, sparkly additions.

Thank you @Angie for the title ( blushing ) and the great suggestion for the snake print belt! I felt a bit shy to wear it at work - but secretly prefer it over traditional black belt . My new jeans have my favorite low rise but the fit is more slouchy and loose - I'm still getting used to them - it's a process .

Cookie

Those jeans are a perfect type of pattern to wear with a graphic print on top! Love it.

Great combo!

I love this mix. It's subtle, with pops of the white. I love how the white in the belt and earrings picks up the white graphic on the tee. Great proportions on you, too.

Thank you @Cookie - my fellow pattern mixer !
Thank you @Bonnie!
Thank you @Firecracker(Sharan) - I'm glad the proportions are looking good - always concern with low rise jeans.

Great to see you and love the low cut patterned jeans on you! Both versions look smashing!

I am loving that boxy, charcoal jacket. I don't do snakeprint, because it reminds me too much of real snakes. But I think the real win here is putting a snakeskin belt on snakeskin jeans--so meta.

Thank you @Helena!
Thank you @Jaime - long live all rises in the jeans ( and my fav low rise
)!
Thank you @Carol - I needed to look up "so meta" - fun!
