Happy Pattern-Mixing Day! Today's edition of EBEW feels like it might as well be an official blogger holiday. I've happily dabbled in some pattern mixing myself, and this floral (well, herbal) printed skirt has been the basis for a lot of my favorite looks incorporating mixed prints - I recently wore it with navy and white stripes, and paired it with a fun cat-print blouse a few months ago. I think the subtlety of the white-on-yellow print makes this an ideal piece for pairing with more graphic prints like stripes (or cats), and since pink and yellow has been a favorite color combination of mine for some time, I was surprised to realize I hadn't worn this skirt and sweater together yet. Finished with a white belt and a few gold accessories, this outfit was perfect for a breezy day-trip to historic Kutná Hora, home of the Sedlec Ossuary - a chapel decorated by Cistercian monks with the bones of over 40,000 people!
And home to some pretty sweet skeletal pattern-mixing, if you ask me!

Oooh, I agree. That skirt is perfect for pattern mixing! And that wall in the background is gorgeous!
pretty colors together! i may have to check out EBEW...where have i been?!
A very lovely combination - colors and prints both! I love trying out different prints together, you can some of the most interesting looks because of it!
I love this pattern and color combo. And you totally win the prize for most original background! :)
These are two of my favorite pieces from your mobile closet, and I love the way you've combined them together! The color pairing, I think, is even more interesting than the pattern play you've got going on here -- but either way, I love the combination!
The colors here are just gorgeous--the blush pink and goldenrod. Tied together with the perfect accessories and excellent silhouette--I think you're one of my favorites from today's EBEW! So glad I found your clothing journey--stop by and say hi on my side if you have a sec!
Love your soft, pretty mix of patterns. Those shades of pink and yellow jumped out at me. Nicely done :)

I came over from EBEW and I have to say I wasn't see too many who were actually pulling off the mixed pattern look. This is perfection. The colors are so pretty and it works. Not like I am an expert or anything. Just sayin'
Recently I've been seeing a lot of stripes lately. I haven't seen pink and white stripes though and I love it on you. The yellow goes great with the pink too!
Complex Cardigans
