I love wearing pattern, and I am often asked how to wear bold prints when you're scared of pattern or overwhelmed with how to mix them. So, I decided to show you three different ways to incorporate pattern in your everyday wardrobe with a focus on one of fall's trends—black & white. It's all here in my first style video ever! I hope you guys enjoy it!

LOVE wearing black and white but I often look like a bum trying to layer different patterns. This is a great video tutorial and I’m so glad you’re stepping out of your comfort zone and are talking in front of the camera!
So funny you used this song! They were one of the opening acts at a small concert in Silverlake and I’ve been listening to the EP they handed out…Love your vid!
The look 3 is my favorite ! ♥ Nice vid as usual.
Sincerely, Yann.

Gosh this post was so helpful!! I love the third “ka-pow” outfit best, those shoes!
Thanks so much Betsy! That means a lot! Its scary to try but fun 😉
Joy
Too funny! I love the version with word but we had to use the instrumental for the video since theres a lot of talking 😉
Joy
Yay! So glad you found it helpful!

I really love your “talkie” videos! You’ve got a lovely personality, and great style. Like many women out there, I’m pattern-shy. Now, thanks to your video, I just may take the leap!
Great video! Is that jacket emerson fry current? I dont see it on their website
Thank you! More videos!!!
fun to finally hear your voice 🙂
Kudos!
so fun! I saw that sporty target jacket in their ads I love that you paired with the girly jeans and scarf …..what a fun series 🙂
Oh I saw those jeans at target and really want to try them, are they comfortable? I’m a sucker for polka dots!!

That third outfit is great! I love the jacket, ogling up the one on the Zara online shop as we speak.. xx
How adorable are you? Your personality just shines in this video! Also, I’ve been searching for a varsity jacket just like the one from the first outfit. And it’s from Target! Yay for fashion on a budget, and thanks for helping me find it!
Nice!
You have a great sense of style! Thanks for the tips.
I love the way you dress! So much style, so much freshness and innovative:)
This is a great video! It is very creative I really liked when you described the outfit one by one. Dont be scared, yo really do it great! Good luck.
I love your blog!
Thank you so much for sharing this video! Usually videos of this kind are boring, but I like yours for two main reasons :
– I actually learnt something: the key is to mix a large pattern with a smaller pattern so they won’t clash! I didn’t think about this before!
– you seem like a genuinely friendly person, and you obviously don’t take yourself too seriously. The scarf on your head at the end was a nice touch of humour!
I think video blogging is a fresh and interesting idea, but it is difficult to pull off! You did really great, and I can’t wait to see your next vids! 😉
