Pattern mixing an experiment

I like to experiment with pattern mixing. Many other bloggers have tutorials on how to do it. 
A summary of what to do is:
1. mix a stripe with a floral
2. keep the colors in the prints the same or very close
3. choose different scales in the print combinations


two patterns plus color

three patterns plus color

small pattern

another curvy pattern
Hopefully I followed the guidelines and here is what I came up with. Do you like it??
 I'm linking up with visible Monday on Not Dead Yet Style.

another sweater with striped blouse

Michael Kors sweater, Dress Barn striped blouse, Ann Taylor suit pants. 
Here it the same shirt with a more dressy pants. This is work casual. The pants are actually a black/brown herringbone tweed but so small you can't see it. So I am pattern mixing the stripes with the tweed. There are studs on the sweater that add some visual interest. Necklace pendant is also striped in hues of orange too subtle to tell here.
My daffodils are blooming in the background.
