Today I tried to do a little pattern mixing with this beautiful blazer I bought a while ago. I have always read that its best to combine a bold pattern with a subtle pattern, so that is exactly what I tried to do. The polka dot blazer is a very subtle pattern and it doesn't compete with the bold roses pattern. Actually, to be honest, today I was inspired by an outfit from Jen loves Kev:
Here she wore a mixture of a bold patterned skirt with a subtle polka dot top:
So I tried to copy the same look and I love it! I also added the red tights just because I was in a "I-wear-whatever-I-want-no-matter-what-other's-think" mood... jeje. I love when I feel bold like that :)
Here are all the cazillion ways I have worn this roses dress:

This look is so darling, Marie! Love the jacket and the print on your dress is so pretty!
That blazer is just fab! And I adore the subtle pattern mix.
very cute! I love the edging on the blazer and all the construction details. Who knew it was even polka dot until a close up! Fun fun!
OH my word! I LOVE that jacket! So super cute!
P.S. How tall are you? I almost never buy F21 jackets because they seem to only fit people who are like 5'4", and I'm 5'7".
This look is just terrific! I am LOVING that jacket; I want one!
Gorgeous mix of patterns- the colors are so pretty.
