Layers and stripes and mixing patterns

Today's title doesn't refer to my outfit but to the Spring 2013 designs of Thom Browne. When I saw photos of his collection from NY Fashion Week I was thrilled by its awesomeness. It has a very Tim Burtonesque/Edward Scissorhands feel to it with the striped tights and the black and white.  I was also reminded of Melanie from Bag and a Beret because she is a master of layering and pattern mixing.

Here are some of my favourite Thom Browne looks

Maybe not entirely "ready to wear" but I love it all just the same.

Today I wore something that didn't entirely match but who cares?

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique (it's purple)
Jumpsuit: Lilith (last worn here not as successfully)
Obi Belt: Megan Mae Daily
Shoes: Fluevog Mini | Gorgeous  

My coworker who dubbed me "The Flash" yesterday didn't like these shoes. No accounting for taste.
