=Dear Ken and pixie, I’m reading a lot about how to mix prints in the latest fashion magazines. But when I wear different prints together, l look silly. What’s the trick?
-Dear Mixed up It’s not difficult prints together. Find the similarity in each item of clothing you want to wear. Mix two or thee items with the same background color, like white or another or another neutral color. Mix a large print with a small one. Mix similar patterns, like stripes with plaid. But if you’t feel comfortable in it, don’t wear it!
=Dear Ken and Pixie, In college, I wore vintage clothes, but now I’m 30 and need a modern look. How. can I wear vintage styles without looking outdated? – oldie but Goodie
-Dear Oldie but Goodie, Vintage clothing is always in! But mix it with something new for a moderm look. Wear avintage shirt with pants. Pair an old belf with a new bag. Wear vintage shoes with new jeans. But somefimes you need to alter the clothes. For example, take a baggy vintage skirt and make it slim, or cut the shoulder pads out of a vintage jacket.
=Dear Ken and pixie, I’m seeing both baggy pants and skinny pants on the designer runways. Also, short and long pants What’s in style?
-Dear Confused Carrie, It’s all in style! For pants, anything goes this year. The trick is to wear something on top that is the opposite of the style of the pants. So, if you’re wearing baggy pants ,try a slim shirt. Lf slim pants are your thing, wear a babby sweater. Short pants? Try funky shoes. Wear long pants with your shirt tucked in and a belt.
