pattern on pattern

lately i've been in to the whole 

mixing of patterns trend

like this jcrew tee

i got (on sale) the other day

with my mr.'s gingham scarf

similar to this one

wanting to try 

mixing patterns in the same shades

{image via}

and....

maybe this throw

with these fun pillows

for fall?

what do ya'll think about mixing as opposed to matching?
