Today’s Everyday Fashion: Mismatch

I was organizing my closet recently when I realized that this blazer and skirt are almost identical in color and pattern. I like perfectly matching pieces, but I also appreciate the quirkiness of the two pieces being slightly different, and the fact that both were already in my closet and I didn’t have to purchase them together. Do you stick to matching pieces only, or would you also wear slightly mismatched patterns?
