Low on funds, buy accessories in trendy patterns and colors. Pair them with past season clothing or hand me downs to make an outfit feel new

Buy your child’s wardrobe in a few of the fall shades and it will be easy to mix and match outfits.

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.

Show us how you mix prints and patterns on your babiekins by tagging your photos on instagram with #babiekinsmixedpatterns and your little babiekin could be featured in an upcoming blog post. We would love to see them!
