tips for pattern mixing:

1. coordinate at least one color in common with both pieces 

2. try to vary the sizes of the patterns

3. accessorize to add pops of color (keep accessorizes plain if pieces are both patterned) 

4. mix a colorful pattern with a monochromatic pattern

5. polka dots and stripes (that have a common color) usually work great together!
