WIW 11/22: Extrovert pattern mixing!

I had a leopard scarf that I loved for years, but somehow this fall when I looked for it, it had disappeared. I looked around for a replacement and settled on this beauty from Kate Spade. I think the fringe makes it look current and it's a nice size and shape. I love leopard with turquoise so I teamed it with a nice Banana Republic silk blend sweater/tee. And then, to my surprise, the BR gingham blazer jumped out of the closet and wanted to join the party! I totally get that it won't be everybody's cuppa tea, but it makes me happy on the day before Thanksgiving!

What do you all think?

Super cute! I love mixing with animal print.

So cool. I love how leopard print works like a neutral on other people, even if I can never get myself to try it. The turquoise pop is just right too.

Love it! The brown/cream/black ties it together.

I think turquoise looks terrific on you, and I love the jacket/trousers/shoe/bag ensemble but I’m not a fan of the leopard on top of it : it’s too close to the gingham pattern and colours to stand out, but not close enough to match, if that makes sense?

So so soooo fantastic!

Studying it I can see there are some matches that give the outfit cohesion, like the shoe color in the leopard spots, but there's something about the turquoise that really grounds the whole look for me, and I have no idea how you came up with that.

Brilliant.

Fabulous. Somehow this all works great on you. I think Isabel is on the right track. My 1950s-fashion-rules brain can't figure it out, but my eyes tell me it is a wonderful combination.

NAILED it.

Killer Fab. You are glowing with glee. Love it.

MsMary

Wow, Angie! You are making me blush!

And Isabel, for some reason your post is making me want some turquoise pumps...

Hah Mary, is it bad that I looked at the photo and for a moment thought "what pattern mixing?" and "this is neutrals!" I think I'm pattern mixing numb LOVE the look. Especially love the cognac footwear with this, as I've also been pairing a lot of cognac with my black+white these days! I think this outfit would be just as fun with a sparkly top in place of the turquoise.

You're nailing it this week! Love this one too

Love it.....and I'm an introvert. LOL

That scarf is fantastic. I think of my leopard pieces as neutrals. I almost bought that gingham jacket. Every time I see a picture of you wearing it I kick myself.

Agree with skylurker.

I like the pattern mixing. I love leopard and animal print scarves, but know I am always hot and don’t do well with things around my neck, so please enjoy for me!
