Pattern mixing is so fun, but it can be intimidating. It took years for me to really jump into pattern mixing. Once I did, however, I realized just how it was! Now I pattern mix like it’s nobody’s business! So what’s the best way to begin pattern mixing if you never have before?
My no-fail pattern trick is to take any pattern other than stripes and just add stripes! How easy is that?! Stripes on stripes is a little tricky to pull off, which is why I suggest do any pattern other than stripes. This combination tends to work regardless of what other pattern you pick. Here, I’m wearing a bold floral pattern, and I picked out a striped pattern in a matching color.
As for my skirt, I’m wearing a LuLaRoe Jill skirt. LuLaRoe is great for pattern mixing because they have such fun prints! The LuLaRoe Jill sits at your natural waist, with the elastic waistband adding definition to your figure. The skirt itself features pleating and is very swingy. The material is silky, so it’s great for the warmer months.
Now Becky is styling a LuLaRoe Madison skirt and Nicole is styling a LuLaRoe Lola skirt. Be sure to check out how they styled their skirts, and enter to win your

Thanks, friend! And I’m stripes crazy right now:)
You look so pretty and I absolutely love LulaRoe! Random question: Did you take these pics at First Christian Church in downtown Lex? If so, that was my childhood church!!!
Isn’t it the best?! And yes, I think that’s where this was at!!!! How cool:)
Stripes + anything are always a win in my book!
Yes to this!
I adore florals and the LulaRoe skirt is so cute mixed with the stripes! Great look!
Thanks!
Any look that includes stripes is good! I think polka dots would look good with stripes! Floral print looks excellent to especially for spring love your look!
I agree about the polka dots, and thanks!
Jill is the only skirt I don’t have. You make it look super cute!
I think you need to try it!!! Thanks!
Beautiful! Love all the patterns!
I’ll take alllll the patterns anytime:)
That is an easy tip for pattern mixing! I’ve always avoided it because I’m afraid I’ll look like a mess. Ha! But I’ll try the stripes tip!
Thanks, Emily! Try it and let me know how it goes!!!
Stripes are always a go to for pattern mixing. Love this look.
Thanks!! And yes they are:)
I love the look! Pattern mixing is really intimidating, but you make it look so easy.
Try my trick and let me know how it works for you!
The colors in that skirt are gorgeous for spring and nude heels are the perfect match for this outfit. I’ve only purchased the LLR leggings which I’m in love with so I can only imagine how soft and comfortable the skirt is.
Thanks, Emily! If you try the skirts, let me know what you think. I think you’d like the Cassie.
You are a pattern mixing expert!! Love how this whole look came together…and those booties are seriously SO cute!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us at On Mondays We Link-Up 🙂

Girl you rock pattern mixing! How tall are you? I think I am too short for too much pattern.
Thanks, Steph! I’m 5’9.5″. I think you could pull it off!
I love how all of these colors, patterns, pieces and accessories work together. That skirt is gorgeous. I have never tried a LulaRue skirt but I am loving this. It is exactly my style. I’d love to win yours exactly. You look beyond gorgeous Tiffany. Thanks for the giveaway too – awesome!
Thanks so much Ada!!!
You do the best job at mixing patterns. I love this outfit!
It’s my jam:) And to think, before blogging, I probably wouldn’t have pattern mixed!
Yes! Great tips. I love mixing stripes with any pattern. So easy to do and always looks great!

Your hair is so gorgeous!!

Aww thank you!
I love that Jill skirt! I always prefer skirts that fit at my natural waist, I feel like it’s much more flattering for my figure.
Thanks, Justine! I totally agree.
Such a cute skirt!!

Thanks, Jaymie! I’m really digging it!
Stripes and floral print is one of my favourite pattern combinations! The turquoise necklace and nude shoes are the perfect accessories – fabulous outfit!
