Under-the-Radar Pattern Mixing & White Jeans

Happy Sunday, everyone! 

This outfit that I wore to work last week has proved two things to me: 1. it’s hard to wear white jeans with knee high boots and not look like you’re going horse riding, and 2. It goes totally under my radar when I mix more than two patterns in an outfit*. 

I don’t mind the horse riding thing as I think that the horsey jodhpurs / boots / jacket look is really rather smart. (The fact that I didn’t get any “you look like you’re going horse riding” comments from my colleagues that day surprised me.) And I didn’t notice at all that I’d put together a striped top with a check shirt and an Aztec-ish pattern scarf until I saw the photos. Still works for me, though 😉

Not forgetting… Please vote for me in the world’s easiest voting thingy!
