Marion Berry Style Challenge: Pattern Mixing

I have definitely been more adventurous with my outfit choices since exploring Pinterest.  You've already seen some inspiration from J's Everyday Fashion in my Movie Date Makeover and I've Been Thinking About You, Blog posts.  But the other day, I discovered another awesome fashion blog: Marion Berry Style.

In addition to some great outfit ideas, she hosts a monthly "trend" challenge.  This month? Pattern Mixing.  Whoooaaaaaa boy.... did I come in on a toughy! I mean, last month's trend was yellow.... I could rock that with my eyes closed.  But pattern mixing?  Its something I've always admired but rarely had the courage to try.

I decided, however, in the name of experimentation (and if nothing else, good blogging) to try my hand at the trend.

After about 30 minutes in my closet, here's what I came up with:

Floral.... on stripes, on stripes! This was huge for me! But I think it works! (I HOPE it works.... because I wore it to a work training today!)

Here's the goods:
Blazer: Charlotte Russe $36
Tee: American Eagle $10
Scarf: Candies by Kohls $15
Jeans: Kohls $20

So, I am dying for your thoughts.... would you mix patterns like this?

Be sure to check out the Marion Berry Style page tomorrow for other bloggers who took the trend of the month challenge!
