The blockbuster hit of the summer, Barbie exudes and embodies the traits of self-confidence and empowerment. It offers nostalgic fun for older generations while opening up younger generations to the power of imagination. And sure, an all-pink classroom would be awesome, but we've included plenty of other colors in these combinations that are just as Barbiecore for those who want a more subtle classroom that still plays into all the Barbie fun. Take a look!
Vintage Barbie-Inspired Combinations
Through out the decades, Barbie has had many stellar fashion outfits, but none probably quite as iconic as the original bathing suit Barbie. Below, we've come up with some border combinations inspired this vintage look.

Classic Barbie-Inspire Combinations
When you think of the "stereotypical" Barbie, the image that comes to mind is probably very similar to Margot Robbie's all-pink plaid look in the Barbie movie. We loved it so much, we had to try and recreate it with some of our borders.
