Patterns make me happy. Mixing patterns makes me really happy.
I love the complexity of layering patterns. Its bold. Its daring. Its exciting.
Not to mention, it requires confidence. And most of all...it must to be done correctly.
Mixing patterns is not just hap-hazzardly throwing 2 or 3 printed pieces together. No.
Mixing patterns is much like layering patterns in interior design. Scale, color and weight are of serious consideration.
Study how these outfits work.
1. Super large prints require a solid pairing to give it drama. Color consideration and embellishments are the way to make large pattern exciting, different and fun.
2. Medium prints can be paired with tinier prints. This creates interest and texture that balance each other.
3. Medium prints can also be paired with other medium prints, as long as they are complimentary.

4. Stripes pretty much go with everything. I love the strength that a stripe gives.
So, how daring are you? What's your confidence level?--get some inspiration and take a chance in your home and in your wardrobe...I guarantee those compliments will come rolling in.
