Mixing Prints

Mixing prints 

It’s a struggle mixing in prints in your outfit. Suppose you fall in love with an absolutely adorable printed piece at Lucky B. You want to try on the piece, but at the same time, you’re hesitant to. You’re unsure how to coordinate it with the clothes in your closet! Worry not ladies. Here are some tips on mixing your favorite prints, so you can enjoy more outfit options!  

Bold x Small

Not small x small or large x large. Try mixing bold prints with small prints. The danger of mixing bold prints together (or small prints together) is that it takes away the essence of a standout piece. Bold x Small compliments each other, without overpowering neither piece. 

Match colors

When in doubt what to mix and match, focus on the colors. Similar colors or complimentary colored pieces are recommended to match. Just have some fun with your favorite colors!   

Mixing pastels like light blue and baby pink are great, because they can make a statement while not being overpowering. On the other hand, the combination of black and white is a staple for prints, with a classy feel. Black and white also act as a neutral for prints, so it’s a go to when you’re unsure of what to match. 

Bring some solid colors

If layering many prints start to overwhelm you, just replace a printed piece of clothing or accessory with a solid color piece. Layering in a solid color will tone down your outfit, calming the overall look.

Let’s say you are planning on wearing your favorite pair of Tropical Abstract Pom Shorts from Lucky B with a white and navy bold stripped blazer. You can pair this outfit with a simple white V-neck T-shirt, and an elegant navy clutch purse, to keep your style classy and full of color. 

 

Try mix and matching whatever is most comfortable for you. Lucky B has many fun printed pieces in store and online!

Easy Ponytail!

 Easy Messy Ponytail!

 

Need a cute hairstyle for a busy morning or simply just looking for a new hairstyle? Here’s a cute and easy natural looking ponytail tutorial for you to try! 

 

     1. Divide your hair into three parts. Take the middle bunch of hair to make a medium height ponytail.

  

     2. Take your side hair to the back of your head, and tie it over the middle ponytail, creating a “mini” ponytail.

     3. Take the “mini” ponytail from step 2, and flip it from the bottom to top, making a twisty look.

 

4. Make a little space between the middle ponytail from step one. Take the twisted “mini” ponytail though the space between the middle ponytail, and tighten the middle ponytail so it’s not loose.  

    5. Do you notice the end of the “mini” ponytail dangling? Take that end of hair and wrap it around the middle ponytail’s hair tie, and pin it so it won’t fall apart.

 

   6. Fix any parts of your hair that you need to, and wallah! Now  you have mastered a natural looking ponytail!

 

Tips:

By curling your hair beforehand, you can get a messy, flowy looking style. If you’re looking for something more classy and elegant looking, try straightening your hair before creating this ponytail look! 
Ponytails are great for helping to make your neckline standout, which are a perfect match with our strapless rompers, jumpsuits, and maxi dresses!
