how to: mix & match

Mix Patterns

| sweater: Carven, vest and jeans: Sheinside, shoes: Ann Taylor, clutch: Clare Vivier |

After receiving several notes and comments regarding 'how to' style and wear certain items or how to pull off a look, I have decided to start incorporating how to's on The Daileigh.

It comes as no surprise that my first is mix & match.  I love to incorporate a surprise element into my outfits.  Everyone has a different method to this madness but the key for me is finding a common color and building your look surrounding that, rather it is a subtle or bold color, it is a good way to start.

Mustard was the obvious choice for this outfit.  With the many colors in this sweater and burgundy heels, I leveled out this color wheel with neutrals, olive and accessorizing with a black clutch to keep the colors the main focus without being too overwhelming.  The little details count too -- burgundy zipper on the clutch and the lighter heel on the pump help tie the look together.

It can be very tricky but definitely worth trying! Continue to send me emails and leaving comments with suggestions, hopefully I can lend you a little guidance.

Happy Friday!
