Yay or Nay?

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about patterned tights. Remember? Yes? No? Anyways,  I wore my houndstooth tights a couple of days ago and- wait for it- broke my own rules. I paired these tights with a orange leather skirt and- wait for it, again- a leopard coat. I was a bit hesitant before I left my room; however, I think it worked oddly well.

There are two reasons I really like this combination. First of all, the two prints are tiny enough that they are not overbearing. Second, the tights and jacket are very similar in color. The similar color scheme allows the print to act like a neutral.

Here's my point: Rules are made to be broken, especially in fashion.
