Merry Mixing Patterns

I play very safe when it comes to pattern mixing. Stripes with a floral or in this case butterfly pattern.

The thing is, I grew up around a group of people that just threw on whatever they pulled out that morning: blue floral with multicolored printed shirt and a yellow/orange sweater...yeah....so to contrast that I've always done perfect matching.... though I am trying to go bolder in my style now....but not to much. lol 

 

 Some of my firstgraders complimented my outfit today....who can resist happy colors? ☺
