the stars begin to burn a little love song

I am really enjoying the clashing patterns trend at the moment, and from the looks of other blogs I've been reading, a lot of you are enjoying it too. Most of my outfits over the past few weeks have featured at least two patterns. Usually for example a shirt and my headscarf, or a jumper and my headscarf. So today I decided to do it a little bit differently, by layering two patterns directly over each other. And I liked it! I kept the rest of the outfit simple so as not to distract from the 'main feature' and keep it from looking too busy. I've been wearing a jacket under my coat this week because I keep getting cold in the office - but it's also a great way to take a casual outfit to smart-casual. The floral shirt and the jacket, which I got from charity shops, were actually both originally from Marks & Spencers. I love finds like this as although you're getting them cheap, you know they'll be good quality and hopefully last you a while.

 

What's your view on the clashing patterns trend?
