How's This For Pattern Mixing?

This is a blogger, Beth Dajali who is giving an example of mixing patterns.

 

I don't think this is a well balanced example because the eye is kept bouncing all around. I do like all of the pieces separately. 

When patterns are mixed they're more pleasant if they aren't the same proportion.

I'd do this with denim on the bottom and a sash with the white stripe on the blue around her waist (she likes to wear belts).

She’s so pretty but many of her clothing choices are not flattering.

Lyn Slater she ain't.

This is such a clumsy attempt.

I don't think that horrible top helps

I kinda like it.  I do like her haircut.  The colors all go together, the bag and the tassel on the blouse and the sandals.  I'd be more boring and wear those pin stripe slacks with a white tee, tucked in and maybe a colored belt.  Oh and my Birks of course.  Woman Happy

@tansy Not to be unkind, but from a style perspective, I think you "hit the nail on the head"!!!

@Andreatoo Love the top for the top, (not on her necessarily).  The pants look like Jagger!

I don’t know her....she’s very attractive....but I don’t like her outfit.  The way she has the top tucked in front makes her belly look “”poochy”.  It’s a cute shirt, but I would never wear it with those stripes.   Either piece would look great on her paired with a solid.   Those are pretty shades of blue.

I like her hair because I have the same style.

 

I do not like the blouse at all, but if I had to wear it, I wouldn't choose those pants.  She looks so miss matched..even the colors clash.

 

Maybe she needs cataract surgery...
