Happy Friday!!
This week I blogged about how to mix patterns and prints in this post, so I thought I'd do an outfit post on how I mix my patterns and prints in my daily wardrobe while doing the closet remix challenge. Of course I had to include my all time favorite herringbone vest from J. Crew in my post! I'd seriously be lost without this vest! :) It's warm, cozy and goes with just about everything.
I've made sure to follow rule #1 in my outfit and stay within the color scheme of red, black and cream.
I've followed rule #2 by making sure I combined the loose prints and the structured prints. My loose print is the polka dots and my structured print is the herringbone and the plaid. Because I separated the two structured prints with the loose print, it works! It's all about a balance!
Last, but not least, I followed rule #3 by combining a variation of small and large prints creating a well-balanced look!

I love everything about this look! I am definitely going to take your rules and see how I can apply them in my closet! :) I definitely want to try mixing some stripes and florals, and I'd like to do something with my polka dots and gingham. Every time I see this vest, by the way, I am more and more bummed I didn't get it when I had the chance! I keep stalking eBay, and I might just have to bite the bullet! Hope you have a great weekend!

Yes, keep checking! Once it's summer time, the price will go down, but then you have to wait to wear it! There's always a catch! Have a great time in Chicago!
