How to: Mix patterns

The little secret to this is that there really aren't any rules about which patterns you can and cannot mix.  You're allowed to have fun with it, and it might end up looking like a fun mess, but that's part of the fun.  The rules come into play with the other items that you're wearing.

The general rule of thumb is that if you're going to go bold in one place, tone it down in others.  Mixing patterns requires a certain organized loudness.  It's okay to be bold, but you don't want too much going on in your ensemble.  Neutral accessories will keep the focus on the patterns of your outfit instead of your accessories.  Adding a natural palette also leaves room for a bit of spunk in your accessories, but for the most part, keep them simple and not too extravagant.

All these great items can be found at Persunmall.  Personally, I'm lusting over their great bag collection.
