Lately, I have been feeling a little bold and daring when it comes to my style game.  I know this season’s fashion trend has definitely incorporated mixing patterns.  However, since I have never really attempted to do it myself, I set out to my “go-to” place to check out ideas, PINTEREST!  Over the past few months, I pinned so many things to my mixing patterns BOARD and then decided that I too can probably give it a try.  Besides if pulled off right, you can exponentially triple your outfits!

I have said it before, and will say it again.  Thrifting is a great and inexpensive way to try out new trends.  If you don’t like it, how much did you really lose?

I thrifted these culottes a few months back from Good Hope Thrift for $3.50.  You might have seen them in my mini thrift video haul here.  This funky high low shirt was thrifted from Frock You Vintage for $10.  I LOVE THIS SHIRT!  You will definitely probably see it many times again before I retire it.

Obviously the shirt and culottes have their own patterns going.  But, I paired them together because they both incorporate the color green and black.  Add a simply pair of black heels because no need to draw attention to anything else with all the pattern work going on!
I added some gold tone thrifted earrings and cuff bracelet to finish the look!   Have you tried mixing patterns before?  If so, what are some of your tips to accomplishing a great outfit?  If not, what’s holding you back?
