Color based: The lavender floral print brings out the purple from the red and blue plaid combination in the jacket.
You can also go with the same color palette for cohesiveness. The plaid jacket and floral top may be totally different, but with similar tones, the outfit makes sense (to me at least!).Vintage mini corduroy western top, plaid jacket from Nordstrom
Go ahead and make your own pairings then! If you feel good in your choices then it totally works!
