“Lucky You”: No longer just a saying in your Lucky Brand jeans! If you find yourself born in the years 1984, 1996, 2008, or are expecting then you are born in the year of the rat! While this sounds less appealing than you hoped, the rat is considered very lucking in Chinese culture. Being the first animal to win the Zodiac race, people born in the year of the rat are considered spirited, witty, alert, delicate, and flexible. The rat’s lucky colors are gold, blue, and green, so think about incorporating those colors into your wardrobe to promote more luck during your year!

Here is some inspiration if you are in the mood to redecorate!! I am all about these chairs with the adorable print! I love how this room is decorated mostly navy and gold with green accents, it really ties the room together. And remember when using multiple colors use the 60-30-10 rule: 60% using your main color, 30% using your secondary color, and 10% using your accent color.
