Copy Cat Closet: Mixing Patterns + Colors

Hi loves,

I’m so excited to be teaming up with Natalia and Kelley for Copy Cat Closet this week.

Let me tell you I was a little nervous trying to come up with a theme this week, but I hope you all took me up on the challenge + I can’t wait to see what outfits y’all came up with!

Here are my tips for styling an outfit that mixes patterns and colors.

{Style: Paige Skinny’s Colored Denim // Plaid Top – Stitch Fix // Sweater – Madewell}

Friends confidence is key! If you are comfortable in what you’re wearing + you love the way you look… roll with it!!! Don’t be afraid to try something new.

Here’s another outfit I tried this week combining some fun colors + patterns. The mustard yellow tights were out of my comfort zone, but I ended up really liking the outfit.

So how did you do? Did you enjoy the challenge?

    Thanks so much for hosting with us! You’re adorable! And that last outfit, the mustard and blue is to die for. I would copy it to a t if that wasn’t too creepy… haha You look great as always!

    I think mustard and blue go together very well–but I still can’t stand the way mustard looks with my skin tone. I guess I’ll just have to stick to the ‘cool’ colors. The pattern on your cardigan is so unique! I’ve never seen one like that before.

    I don’t have anything that fun in my closet. All I have is black pants and solid sweaters. Of couse I haveto
    to dress business casual for work – whatever that means. And since I ride the bus sometimes
    knowing I’ll be warm take priority. But one of my goals for the new year is to get a better
    wardrobe. Thanks for this post!

  4. I love your ability to mix patterns and colors Alissa! And I’m so in love with the dress/cardigan outfit you have picked out for ALT…it is such a fun pairing! I linked up my WIWW post! :)

    I don’t have that kind of color in my arsenal – I’m more like a penguin!
