five tips for pattern mixing

 one of the many things i love about lularoe is the opportunity to pattern mix. the possibilities are endless. first and foremost, let me tell you... do not let this scare you. it's fun! and cute. add some color and bring some life to your outfit; in the same way that lipstick can brighten your smile. maybe start with lipstick... baby steps are ok. 

here are some inspirations and tips for pattern mixing

stripes and dots - 'madison' skirt inspiration

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!
