Mixology: 101

There are 3 rules when it comes to mixing patterns that I have discovered.

First off, one pattern needs to be organic.
Next, the second pattern must be structured, like stripes or polka dots.
Lastly the scale of each pattern is everything!

These are just some examples of patterns you might have in your closet. Play around even if you're wearing a floral dress, try pairing it with a polka dot clutch bag or scarf. The patterns don't need to be all clothing items they can be accessories too! Just be sure both patterns are not small scale, it will look too busy. The only time stripes and polka dots work is when one of them is oversized, or else it just looks like too much. Now have fun!
