Mixing patterns

Some simple rules for mixing patterns.


1. Mix two or more patterns of the same color.
2. Don't mix two BOLD prints together, they just compete.
3.Try using a couple of different weights of fabric. It helps to make the look less matchy matchy.
4. Put together different color solids, i.e. mustard top, blue pants, and then add a printed belt.
5. Don't drink and dress.
