Well today was a gorgeous day in my neck of the woods 84 degrees!
So today I think I finally got the hang of pattern mixing. I used inverse patterns. I picked up these black and white pieces a few weeks ago while shopping. I thought the green sweater and it's white bejeweled border tied everything together nicely.
Thanks for looking!

Oh, my, you are so gorgeous in this outfit, I can hardly stand it. Super pattern mixing, for sure, and it's such a classy outfit. Plus you look so model-tall in it.

You look absolutely beautiful. That sweater is so pretty!
-
You did indeed! I love how the patterns enhance each other. The green cardigan is beautiful with the black and white patterned pieces, and you look so chic! I need to pin this for inspiration if that's ok with you.

Beautiful. Very clever pattern mix. It works because:
krishnidoux replied 9 years ago
- the patterns respond to one another, one being bigger than the other but in the same range;
- the inverted play on black and white;
- the solid emerald/blue-green cardi which both anchors and responds to the prints. -

That is a perfectly balanced pattern mix! I am so picky about mixed patterns but you nailed it. I always love seeing your outfits, you have a wonderful combination of polish and flair.
-
The pattern mixing here is very sophisticated and then the pop of green adds such an element of fun and brightness. You look gorgeous in this outfit DV.

You certainly have a discerning eye to buy each of these pieces separately and then to put them together. Stunning!

You look great. I hear you on the weather. Last week we were still firing up the wood stove and this week it's hitting 20C.

Love this patten mixing on you! The bejewelled border of sweater is spectacular.

I love this! So ladylike, but very fresh and avoiding prim! The colors and the pattern mixing are stellar.

This is so pleasing to the eye, it must be mathematically correct or something. Gorgeous proportions, drape on the skirt, and the sweater color is beyond flattering on you!

Hi Day Vies --
Vix replied 9 years ago
I read this late last night and my brain could only come up with, "Oh PRETTY" -- this morning it's easier to echo all the above statements about the sophisticated black/white inverting and the echoing of shapes within the trim and the prints themselves.
The green is gorgeous for spring/summer, but I have a feeling it looks great without the top layer as well. Does it work for you both ways? -
Hi Vix -- it does. If I were going to a summer event, date or brunch I would wear it without the green sweater. The blouse is sleeveless but I would play with tucking/untucking because I would look quite short-waisted (because I am) without a topper.

I am fascinated with the process of getting dressed every day -- to me this is more challenging than getting dressed for a big event because what I wear is dictated by my activities, work environment, and the weather. Living in a climate that guarantees four seasons (or at least two extremes) provides both challenges and inspiration.
