Pattern mixing Jedi. That's what I felt like at the Blogger Mixer on Saturday. Last week you may have read my post about my hesitance towards mixing patterns, well a lot has changed! Thanks to all of your encouraging words of pattern mixing wisdom, I took the plunge! I was freaking out all week about what I was going to wear to this event, Jen received about a million stressed out emails from me second guessing everything I was going to wear. Finally I landed on this. One thing I did know is that I really didn't want to buy anything new, I had recently re-worked a bunch of old skirts so I figured this wool one would keep me warm on what turned out to be a freezing day! I paired it with one of my favorite shirts and the leopard belt (leopard is really a neutral isn't it?). You'll see later in the week that I've seriously re-discovered my love for leopard print! I love how the stripes and leopard play off one another and keep things interesting. Overall I was really pleased with this outfit, and my choice in shoes payed off when I had to run like the wind to catch my train! I think this is one of my all-time favorite ensembles!
A big "thank you" to Jen's husband Kev for taking these amazing pictures!
P.S.- I know I seem to be slacking on commenting back for everyone, the internet in my apartment is down so I've been a little slow. Don't worry, I'll get there! Also, thank you for all of your wonderful questions, I'm putting together a huge post for (hopefully) Friday!

You're already a pattern mixing master! I LOVE the pale pink with the stripes and leopard, such a genius combination! And what a cute owl ring!
I love this outfit! Its an unexpected mix, but it totally works :)
LOVE the stripes with the leopard! Such an unorthodox mix of colors and patterns and totally works. Good call on keeping the look grounded with dark tights.

nice mix indeed, and elephants make the best jewels!
PS. I am having a giveaway on my blog if you would like to enter
This outfit is great! The stripes and leopard work together well--I do regard most animal prints as neutrals, so I like to mix them in with other prints. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the jewelry--elephant necklace, owl ring, and that pretty bracelet!

the skirt is rad, and your pattern mixing is daring already--i can't say how much i love the mix of stripes and leopard print. unexpectedly glam with the boating stripes.
Gorgeous. I love the mix of colors and prints.

Stripes and leopard print is my favorite pattern mixes! I also love the pink with it!
That's a really pretty outfit. The delicate shade of the skirt looks great with the bold belt and top. Gives me ideas for outfits :) The elephant pendant is adorable!
Love this outfit!
there is something so serene and nautical about blue striped tops. fabulous :)
And you said you couldn't pattern mix! This looks fantastic, I love the entire look! The stripes and leopard really do work well together and I can't wait to see what else you do with leopard print this week.
And I love the little gold jewelry touches.
