Mix + Matching , Mitch + Matching, Clashing, Prints or Patterns ! Whatever the term they are one in the same . . . if done properly. Mixing patterns is an easy way to add some life and fun to an outfit. You can mix patterns with accessories : a scarf + purse / scarf + shoes or with many pieces like a top + skirt or two shirts like I did recently during the holidays for a more casual look. Here in Boston it was in the Mid 50’s on Christmas Day so I didn’t even wear a jacket. The no mixing patterns “rule” is a thing of the past and has been completely embraced for a few seasons now so there is nothing to be afraid of. So Mix & Go !
