Babiekins Back to School Part 2 of 3 1
For our second installment of the back to school series we are featuring some outfits with mixed prints. Kids love mixing prints so why not go with it and encourage your little babiekins creative expression.

Some tips for mixing prints
  • When mixing prints like in the outfit on the right use a unifying color. The black checks and the black horses work with this look.
  • Pay attention to scale when mixing patterns. Do not use prints that are the same size. Smaller patterns with larger patterns create balance.
  • Pair contrasting colors on the color wheel, AKA complimentary colors. The purple/ blue hue of the dotted dress pairs well with its contrasting color yellow head wrap.
  • Stay with similar textures to keep the patterns from getting to busy
  • Some pattern combos to try are stripes and florals or stripes and polka dots
  • Afraid of mixing prints? Start by mixing a floral head wrap with a polka dot dress. On boys mix a striped beanie with a plaid flannel.

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
