This week is all about patterns. I went through and made a list of my favorite clothing items, as suggested, ten each for summer and winter. Dividing these up, I found that 60% of my summer wardrobe is printed (or at least multicolored) while only 20% of my winter wardrobe is printed or multicolored (most of is is multi-tonal). This may explain the continuing blah over my winter wardrobe in particular. Once I had this done, I went ahead and focused on specific patterns (and to some extent textures). In the winter I'm drawn more toward tweed as well as cabled and lace knits. In the summer I prefer polka dots, small floral prints, and printed text or other designs. Stripes and knitted ribs span all seasons although they occur more in cooler weather. The final step for this week was to pick out examples of some of these patterns. I've included two of my favorite quirky choices in this post; they're less traditional for me but still rather simple which I like.
