Let me just link you to the pattern mixer of all pattern mixers. Check out What I Wore 2 Day and let Kasmira blow your mind!
Here is just a sampling of her magic...
Ali's look:
*looks by Jason Wu, Versus and Prada...SWANKY!
Stripes and florals are a great mix.
Jilli's look:
*Rebecca Taylor pinstripes and florals. I'll call it corporate boho.
"Wouldn't have normally paired these pants and blouse together but I think the patterns work. Does the necklace count as a 3rd?"
Casie's look:
*Dries Van Noten is also a fan of color and mixology.
Well, I greatly enjoy a vivid pattern mix. I don't often go subtle if I can help it. I am particularly enjoying the pops of red throughout, but then again, I am "pop of red" kind of girl.

Windy's look:
*stripes and patterns always look sophisticated to me. Who could forget this fabulous Mondo look from Project Runway?
"This was hard for me! I really have more solids than patterns, so I had to work at it. I also wore a necklace and shoes that have mixed metals, so I thought that that would count as well…"

Kim's look:
*Dots and plaid- even Anna Sui agrees it is a chic combo.
"I have never mixed patterns before - I've always stayed away from it in case I did it wrong! But I think I made it work!"
