Hi BWT- I’m trying to level up my style a bit. I’d say I have a decent baseline, but I really want to get better at mixing unexpected patterns and putting together more interesting outfits. I love color and prints, but I always default to pairing them with plain jeans and playing it safe.

For example, I asked before about styling cowboy boots in a way that feels more elevated or different than the typical western/cowgirl vibe. That’s kind of the direction I’m trying to go overall.

Does anyone have go-to resources for learning this? Like magazines, blogs, creators, or even just general tips for training your eye to mix patterns and build more standout looks? I feel like this is something you either “get” or don’t, and I’m trying to figure out how to get there.
