I LOVE this look! I used to dress like this in college and I think I'll go back to it when I retire. I want to draw inspiration from Vivienne Westwood, Betsey Johnson, and Patricia Field. Forget about aging gracefully...I wanna age playfully!

def a harder one to pull off-love the proenza version though xo
Kristen Stewart wore that prada outfit and I thought she looks like a fresh water trout, but it actually looks good on that model on the runway haha! and I'm loving the Moschino dress <3
I love the idea of mixing patterns! It's definitely a fun look to try! :)
Could it be? Is tie dye making a much-needed comeback?? :)
Love this, My fave mix - polka dot with florals. :-)
Xx
Love the mix and match, multi pattern outfits. Its amazing what you can throw together!

Prints on prints and dayglo colors = genius! I hope to bring more of that into my spring wardrobe. I'm over winter blahs, darling!
Mix and match the best! The person who can mix and match, that's the person who knows fashion!
Love how this looks... I need to try it out more!
Love the mix-and-match trend. Prada's designs are definitely my favorites.
Wow! As much as I love this look on the runway, I can't bear myself to try it. But these images are dead-on eye candy! xoxox
Love this post the mix and match is brilliant and very inspiring!
These are great ideas for mixing and matching prints... I always thought that this requires a lot of creativity and ingenuity.
I'm still a bit frightened to mix prints myself; yet I can't help but adore them on the runway! :)
your eye is unparalleled. i love a lot of these mix and match looks!
Las rayas con estampado felino en verde me encanta...!!
Amazing color patterns (or lack of patterns?). I love the Issey Miyake...particularly those amazing tights!
...and to think, I worried about leaving the house wearing black with brown this morning...
The Jason Wu & Moschino are my fav! I want to be rambunctious and totally embrace this trend!!! Can't wait to try it.
Hope you're having a beautiful day Carrie... oh and I recieve my Orient watch the other day!! It's a beaut! Thanks again. :)
Love & Aloha, S

Love the vibrant colors! Mix & match can definitely be hit or miss but I think these are all right on!
I think the trend is fab and though it looks easy just to throw on mismatched pieces, its probably even harder because the pieces still have to correlate somehow. Love love love it though especially, Alexandre Herchcovitch, John Patrick, Jason Wu and Duro Oluwo... The Nicole Farhi looks like a jumpsuit I bought in Miss selfridge a couple of years ago
perfect selections as usual.
Another wonderful post, dear! I especially like the Chris Benz, the one with the striped cardigan and flortal skirt.
Take care!
Mixing patterns is such a great way to spice up an outfit!! I love the Blugirl and Naeem Khan ones.
amazing !!!
great mix of pics*°*°*°
Love this post!! I am such a huge fan of mixing it up, there is nothing more fun that clashing colours and prints, Dries do it perfectly!
I tend to like mixing stripes of different colours and thicknesses together.
Goodness, those Chris Benz dresses!!! I just want to undress these models and run away with the stuff!!!! Ah!!
love all the patterns in store right now. Autumn/Winter was fairly rock and Roll, these colours are a breath of fresh air.
Like it!
My most favorite fashion sport, is not matching.. ;P
LOVE this trend, both when it comes to fashion and interior design. I haven't implemented yet in my wardrobe though, I tend to go for solids...
loving the prada - finally something colourful yay roll on summer xx
I'm really bad at this! :D

Like the mix and match! Cool!!
Funny and spicy !!! <3
oh this is too much for me, darling! I can't see me wearing this mix and match patterns. though they look great on the runway! xo
Wow!
Talk about mixing and matching ~~
xoxo
as always, such a great collection of looks! it makes it look so simple to do! xx
wow, how colorful! a little too colorful for my taste, but I love it on them.
have a sweet day, darling.
xoxo
So quirky and fun, love it!
I'm starting to embrace mixing prints more! It's really fun!
Yes, all very fabulous looks! I love how nowadays, it isn't all about matching. You can mix patterns, colors, and prints together and still look fabulous!
so mismatched.. I dunno about that..

Can look great on the catwalk but not so sure on the streets:)
But it's fun:)
I love the use of color!! It is very Southern/Preppy to mix and match patterns and colors like that. I love it!
loving it :D this trend is getting more popular
xx
im a huge fan of mixing unexpected patterns and textures
these pictures are super gorgeous, love them

I love pattern mixing although I have yet been brave enough to try it myself!
xoxo, B
I love patterns! How boring would it be to just where solids.
Love the mixing and matching! This post has made me realize that I need more patterns in my closet!

I love mixing and matches! It makes me feel like I can just grab whatever I find first and go ;)
A big yes to that high waist, leopard print, ruffled skirt. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to mix so many patterns though!
some are so fun and really sizzle.
some are too much and clash.
it's a balance.
Patterns always make me considerably happier!

I'm loving the fact that fashion has changed to anything goes. I wonder how much influence patricia fields and Sex and the City had on this. Mixing prints, wearing white all year round, black with brown, blah, blah, blah. I'm surprised we lassoed ourselves into so many constrictions for so long!
Love the Moschino! Tres adorable. :)
Xx
I wish I was brave enough to try this myself.
Oooh they are all so colourful - mix and match is so cool - but you do have to be a bit brave!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment dearest, so sorry for the insanely late reply!
Stay safe and chic darling,
