Outfit Inspirations: Mixing Patterns

The inspiration:

Lucky's How-To Styling

I went with the smaller stripe and clusters of small floral print in my skirt:


I really liked this outfit. I felt it was interesting. I love layers and by adding the textured cardi on top added more depth. What do you think?

Outfit:
Cardi - Jcrew (similar)
Striped Long-Sleeve Shirt - Banana Republic (similar here, tank, big stripes, thin stripes)
Skirt - Anthro
Black Tights - Banana Republic
Tall Black Boots - Banana Republic (this year's version)
