Plaid, Animal Print, Tweed. Oh My!

Some would say that one can only wear two patterns at the same time and some would say that wearing one print is plenty. I was dared to wear three patterns at once and make it work. And I did it. So there.  
;)
 Why does this work you ask??? Well In using three different patterns (tweed, plaid, animal print) I had to make sure each one had coordinating colors. My colors were orange, tan, brown, and black. Think about  how you would decorate a room. You have a few coordinating colors, but you might have patterned pillows and a textured couch. Take a look at this room pictured below for a great example of colors, patterns and textures that work:

What I wore:
~Worthington tweed jacket (What I love about this jacket is the gathered shoulders that make it more feminine)
~black tank from Gap
~plaid pants from Gap
~brown bow peep toe flats by Bettye Muller
~brown patterned stockings from Talbots
~animal print calf hair belt from Talbots
~vintage bracelet found at GoodWill
~brass and pearl spoon ring by Kellyssima
~ "Fernando" earrings created by moi available at Laura's Style Boutique

I really love how you make sense of your style (comparing the different patterns to that of a living room). I would never have thought of such a combination, but it works. Thank you!
