WIWW - Mixing Patterns


the other day I saw a status on facebook that said: this mixing patterns trend has GOT to go!

and I shouted "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, but personally, I LOVE the mixing pattern trend. I may have even been doing it before it was actually cool and in style. {see outfits here and here for proof!} I know it will probably eventually go out of style again, but for now, I'm soaking it up!

cardi: target  striped tank: h & m  jeans & scarf: old navy  bracelet: f21 
and my super embarrassingly tattered black ballets from target have now been replaced and are in the trashcan! 

so what side of the fence do you fall on: yay or nay for mixing patterns?

  2. LOVE mixing patterns... I'm such a sucker for patterns, I'm wearing bird print in today's post! AND cosidered a patterned or texture tight... but went for a solid one. Now I'm thinking I should've done it! ♥

  7. I love the mix of prints here - the stripes with the scarf is so nice! I'm always so tentative about mixing prints but you do it well.

  16. I love it when it is tastefully done like in your outfit! Now the whole floral top with clashing floral pants/skirt thing just doesn't do it for me. But a leopard shoe or floral scarf with stripes is awesome and should never go out of style!

  19. I have finally worked up the nerve to start mixing patterns on a regular basis and now "they" are saying it's going out?!?! Nuh uh. If mixing patterns is wrong, then I don't want to be right. You look fabulous!
