I made it a personal goal to try pattern mixing.

The last time I tried was about 3 years ago, and I felt like I had escaped the looney bin.  A flowered shirt and a striped blazer?  It was a bit…scattered. But this stripes/leopard combo is not too intimidating – everyone should try it sometime.  I got the inspiration from an LC outfit I saw on Pinterest.  You all know who LC is right?  Or am I the only 33 year old who has an unhealthy obsession with Laguna Beach and The Hills and The City?

Wait, don’t answer that. 

When this happens, you know you need to work on Posing 101.
How does one learn such a thing??
