Happy 2013!

The color of the year is...

Emerald Green

Pantone named the official color of 2013. To see the webpage, click here. They describe it:

"Lively. Radiant. Lush... A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."

A beautiful color for my beautiful readers! Let's see some Spring 2013 looks in this gemstone color.

How to...

Print mix

Mixing prints looks amazing, but can be so difficult! Here are some ground rules to help you mix it up!

Rule One: Stay in the same color family. 

Print mixing while color clashing can get a little too crazy.

Rule Two: Find a basic pattern.
Simple stripes or polka dots are easy to match with complicated patterns.

Rule Three: Balance it out.
Wearing three different prints on top and a basic bottom is less print mixing and more "these are all the tops I could find to keep me warm today."

Think about...
wearing the same print but in different styles! (like wider stripes, smaller flowers, etc)

Rule Four: Don't be scared!
The best outfits come from fearlessness.













Happy print-mixing!
