10 Day Challenge, Day 5

Day 5: Pattern Mixing

Before today, I had never pattern mixed. I don't have many patterned items in my closet, so this was a challenge. Most of my tops are pretty plain, but I do have a strange love for plaid and striped pants.

my collection of patterned pants

To make the pattern mixing challenge work for me, I wore my blue plaid pants with a striped shirt, then added the scarf and hat for fun.

Shirt - Kohls, $6
Vest - Kohls, free with gift card
