Mix and match are the main key to become fashionable.

I guess I'm alternating between sewing tops and skirts for my new wardrobe. My last project was a skirt, and so now it's time for a top. I'm thinking about combining this fabric with this pattern (short sleeved version).
I'm not 100% convinced that it's a good match. The pattern seems so curved - princess seams, puffy sleeves and rounded collar - and the print seems so square.
One reason to go with this pattern is that I definitely want to use it for my one and only Liberty of London fabric - and this will give me a chance to work out any potential kinks first - before cutting into that oh-so-expensive fabric...
Of course, I could always just bite the bullet and make a real muslin - with super cheap fabric that I don't expect to wear - instead of using fabric that I really like and want to wear. ;)
The other pattern I'm considering is this Amy Butler pattern - but for a camisole, not a tunic.

What do you think? Which pattern would make the most fashionable "mix and match"? Or should I look for a different pattern altogether?
I would wait until the fabric speaks to me. Sleep on it, walk by the fabric and eventually it will tell you what it wants to be.
