Comments:
Now that I have mixed patterns in several outfits, I'm starting to feel more confident in my pattern mixing abilities! It is especially easy to mix patterns of the same color and/or same pattern.

The best tip I can give on pattern mixing is to try to pair a subtle pattern with a bold pattern... at least that is what has worked for me so far :)

What are your pattern mixing tips?
