I never exactly loved the idea of mixing different prints and patterns, but my most recent mix of graphic and gingham really has me reconsidering.  Tried to change up the usual black and white ensembles by replacing color altogether with texture and checked print.  If you're going through a phase (like myself), best bet it so load up on a few signature patterns that you can easily rotate with wardrobe staples this fall.

This gingham shirt does its job in toning down an otherwise dressed up outfit, while lace never fails to add that girlish touch to the otherwise masculine shape of the trousers.
