If you have a girl, you will discover that many of her clothes are wild as well as crazy prints. Recently, Mom101 composed about seeing Thalia’s crazy pants as well as understanding that it meant they had reached the bottom of the barrel as well as it was laundry day. I’m really discovering that we have more crazy pants than sane pants.
My husband, who does not like to feel inept at such things, has expressed concern about the problem of dressing a woman when he is dealt with with drawers full of printed clothes. He would like to be able to compose a charming ensemble of mixed prints, however does not want it to go awry as well as then be accused of incompetent infant girl-dressing.
I have a tip for him, as well as I’ll share it with you.
Domino magazine had a piece about producing a unique look for your bed linen by mixing prints. The key, they coach us, is to select prints that have a typical background color. You can utilize a floral print with a striped print if they are both on cream, or white, or heather grey. Or if the dominant colors are precisely the same. (Magenta as well as fuschia may not work.)
I believe the exact same advice can be used to mixing prints on infant clothes. This most likely goes for boys, too, however perhaps it’s less charming to mix checks with stripes than it is to mix hearts with florals.
