Outfit: Subtle Pattern Mixing

I love the idea of pattern mixing, but it doesn't always have to be over the top. I chose to mix this great pattern top with a leopard pattern shoe.  Top: Ark & Co via Piperlime, Jeans: 7 for all Mankind, Shoes: Shoemint, Bag: Coach, Watch: Kristin Hassan, Chain Bracelet: T plus J designs, Bracelet: Baublebar, Ring: J Good, Necklace: Jewelmint  This mixing is subtle since they both have the same tan/orange color in them, but it gives the outfit a bit of pop, no?
What do you think? Ever try a trend and dull it down a bit?
