Patterns, Patterns, Patterns.



I decided to explore around my room to look for different patterns because I have an assortment of interesting things that I never knew I had. In my opinion, a pattern is basically anything, doesn't have to be repetitive like some people may think. But I also believe symmetry has a huge relationship to what a pattern is.
(Going from top to bottom for each row)
1. In my closet, I saw a sun dress while I was getting ready for the day and it had this vibrant orange, pink, white, and black flower pattern. It stood out to me the most out of all my clothes.
2. On my wall, I have a series of old Couture magazine covers which is arranged into a symmetrical collage. They all relate to the same subject, creating a pattern.
3. My curtains are made of panels that are hung in a constant way so I figured this would serve as a pattern. Also, the way the panels flow together caught my eye.
4. I have a basket that normally holds magazines and books from being scattered across my floor like a typical female's room would look alike..Anyways, the weaving of the basket material creates an overlapping pattern from a focal point, which is in the middle.
5. On the bottom of my boot, I noticed the eagles in even rows and they were alternated so either way I looked at it, the pattern was the same, which was pretty interesting.

6. I have a door hang that is a collage of 1960s flashbacks. Simply, a collage is an abstract pattern. It stood out to me because it's actually a piece of artwork I did in high school that is one of my favorites.
7. This is actually one of my favorite accessories I have which is my Ed Hardy hat because it reminds me of Snookie on Jersey Shore since she always wears one. The design on the hat was a thought out pattern the designer wanted hand-sewn; it was carefully placed and laid out with the perfect balance between sequins, color, and thread. *FIST PUMP*
8. My favorite scarf has a repetitive design of white and purple flowers so when I wore it one day I decided to document it for this purpose.
9. For this pattern, I had to use my favorite purse design that happens to be what my dad got me which is my limited edition pink and beige Coach canvas handbag. It's my purse of choice simply because it's PINK, so of course it stood out and is worthy enough to be a part of this blog with it's pattern of overlapping Coach c's.
10. Lastly, my headband is intertwined chains that create a braided pattern. This was the last thing I bought for myself so I noticed the pattern it created.
