Are you a pattern addict? It's easy to fall into the solid world if you shop online, because then you don't have to take as many risks with your purchase. If you hate getting into one of those "pay for returns" traps, you might buy pieces in solids as a result. For fall, let's try to branch out just a bit and splurge on a trendy pattern or two!
Animal Print: Animal print is back again. Some of you are groaning about this, I know, but trust me here-- there's one look that will definitely work for you. Missphit.com has a Cheetah Crop Jacket ($54) that has a swing shape and 3/4 sleeves, and it looks perfect with gloves when it gets colder. Other smart animal-print items include trimmed shoes and lingerie.
Double Prints: Have you considered layering a pattern on a pattern? Choose a black-and-white blazer of your choice in a medium or large-size print, and layer it over a camisole or blouse in an identical colorway, but with a different sized print. This look isn't for the faint of heart or the novice, but it sure is a pretty one if you can pull it off.
