This fashion disaster has only a few minor corrections to it. The type of clothing this person is wearing has good potential but the patterns are clashing. The plaid button down shirt should be a solid color. The blazer/jacket that she is wearing may stay the same. And the scarf should be a striped pattern or polka dotted to give the outfit a little "pop"! I personally dislike cheetah print patterns unless it's used correctly, which in this case, it's not. Also, the chained necklace has to go! It is too clunky for this piece. I believe that every outfit has potential as long as you can fix the issues.
I pretty much hate almost everything about this outfit! The shorts need to be turned into capris and the checkered pattern should be a solid color if you want to keep the top. Since it appears to have summery colors, this person should be wearing a three quarter lengthed fitted shirt or a fitted T-shirt. The pattern for the shirt isn't my favorite but it isn't awful either. A person should be wearing wedges or sandals with this outfit and have some nice dangly earrings on.
