Opposites Attract

Gryphon Coat c/o Bib + Tuck Forward Fashion Project, Equipment Blouse (similar), Helmut Lang Jeans, Celine Pouch, Jennifer Fisher Spike Cuff and Necklace, Vintage Bracelets, Ariel Gordon Ring, Steve Madden Boots

Mixing patterns can be a tricky thing but unexpectedly chic when done right. I always start by looking at the colors involved to see if a.) do they compliment each other and b.) do I have another pattern in a similar color. Then I pair them both with neutral pieces. And keep in mind opposites attract like this vertical striped Equipment blouse and horizontal patterned Gryphon coat.
