I might buy a set - top and bottom - but I will not always wear them together.

 

As far as mixing crazy prints and wearing them together - no.  I do not like this look at all.

I've always struggled with my matchy matchy mindset. I've always matched everything I wear. I'm really trying to break free of that and mix things up. I simply love the boho look and am finding cool eclectic pieces to wear.

I am pretty conservative in my dress when I go out and by that I mean I match. I don’t mix stripes and prints. But when I am home and it’s just me and the cat which is s lot of the time, anything goes. That’s the beauty of retirement.

Both....depends on my mood, where I'm going, and how big of a hurry I'm in.

@Bonkers1   I prefer tone on tone. Everything I own are solids...not a print in site. I look "taller" if all in one color or shades of the same head to toe w/o a break at the waist.

certain things in my outfit have to match or 'go together'.  i do not do the LOGO look at all, just sloppy to me.

 

shoes, bag, jewelry all match.

 

i have some prints but veering away from them, now mostly solids or classic prints. 

 

now my pj's, crazy prints! (printfresh brand)

on clearance u can do very well!!

I prefer to match. I don't wear "clashing" colors together and I NEVER mix prints. I absolutely hate that look.

I'm definitely a matchy-matchy person. I'm often teased about it at work by some of the younger ladies. I jokingly blame it on being a zodiac Libra and it's symbolic "balance scales". In that regard, many different patterns paired together appear to clash in my view. I enjoy pairing a patterned top sometimes with a solid bottom, but one of the colors in the top must match with the bottom's color. The same goes if the top is solid colored and there's a pattern in the bottom. My favorite though is pairing tops/bottoms of the same color creating a column effect. Then, there's the whole topic of accessorizing outfits! LOL I have a large collection of handbags that I change out to "go with" the outfit I'm wearing that day...along with coordinating footwear/jackets of course. My final choice will be which jewelry I will choose to accessorize the outfit. Of course, that choice is based on stone/metal colors that coordinate with colors in the outfit and what color the "metal' surrounding the buttons is. We won't even talk about socks....lol.

I think most of mine are color groups. Not really one or the other.  Yeah, same color family on the color wheel.  Like a shade of blue, with a shade of green that looks right.
