Welcome to the new LCS + Will Wear Wednesdays!
3:33 PMWELCOME TO THE NEW LEGALLY CHARMING STYLE!! *throws confetti*
I'm excited. Very, very excited.
I have openly neglected this blog. But now, it's back! To really appreciate how cute it is, you have to look at the web version. It's cute, clean and pretty--everything I could ever want.
Now to content!!
I am going to be trying out a variety of segments, and today is the first: Will Wear Wednesdays! Today (and every Wednesday) we will talk about conquering those fashion-y things we laypeople get scared to try.
Today we're talking about my very favorite thing I never used to wear: mix prints! Mixed prints can be a terrifying thing unless you have an idea what you're doing.
Here's my tips for a successful mixed print:
1. When you're first starting out, stick to a similar color palette.
Like seen here. If you're a little scared by the thought of two different prints, try them in the same color family. Here, gray + gray is not nearly as scary as, say, yellow + pink. There are slight variances (the dress is more of a blue-based gray), but it's close enough to trick the eye a little and make it less off-putting.
2. One big, one small.
3. Detail, detail, detail!
Details make that similar palette really pop and draw the eye in. A rolled sleeve here, a little ruching there, and boom! Insta(worthy)-outfit.
4. Use the KISS methodology.
KISS (keep it simple, stupid) is an old Hatfield family catchphrase--here I mean tone down the accessories. You've got two prints doing the work for you! With this look, I literally only wore post earrings (in silver). Let the prints be your spotlight and you'll shine like a diamond! ;)
