Don't ever let anyone tell you that stepping out in one pattern is a fashion faux pas.

Try breaking up your ensemble with a solid belt or choosing pieces with varying sizes of the same pattern.

To create a winning combo that's sure to be eye-catching, you can always count on juxtaposing contrasting textures. As in the outfit above, a leather skirt balances out a lighter, more feminine patterned top. Finish off your look with some versatile shoes to truly bring it all together.
