Shop Your Closet is a feature where I find an outfit I like and then go shopping in my closet to recreate it. This way I am exercising my creativity without spending any money.
A month or so ago a local television show did a feature on mixing patterns. Their tips to mix patterns are the following:
1. Mix florals with geometric patterns
2. Choose a theme (like nautical)
3. Choose a color scheme
Click here to read the whole article and watch the video.
When this article came out I was in the middle of 30 for 30 so I tried to follow the advice with what I had in my 30 for 30 picks.
I sort of went with the nautical theme in this one, but not really. It is mixing the geometric and floral patterns though.
In this one I chose a color scheme and mixed the geometric and floral again.
Finally, I used the same shirt again to mix geometric with floral.
Now that 30 for 30 is over I need to go through the rest of my clothes and find other ways to do this. It was fun!

Cute outfits! I always avoid mixing patterns like I'd avoid the plague, but those seem like good tips - your outfits certainly look great!
