Shopping the Boy's Section

I have so much fun dressing up my little girl. The options for childrens' clothes today are just amazing, and while boys' clothes are (stupidly, if you ask me) fairly restrictive as far as color and style, girls can wear just about anything. One of my favorite ways to temper the amount of pink and sparkles in our house is to shop the boy sections at stores. Why not? Girls like trucks and sharks and alligators too!

I'd love to show you some of my favs of what's out there at the moment.



This vintage-looking origami set from Tea Collection is cute on it's own, but you could make it even cuter and more girl friendly by breaking it up. Match the shorts with a white cotton eyelet top, or the tank with a pair of ruffly white or orange ruffly shorts (a la?)

This Stella McCartney designed set for Baby Gap glows in the dark! Need I say more?

Cool, comfy long johns from Hanna Anderson are just the type of jammies I would steal from a boy if I was that size. There are lots of nicely preppy color choices on these ones as well.

borrowed from my brother section. Check it out, if only for the inspiration - I can't think of anything more brilliant than pairing a checked button-down with a tulle skirt and some sparkly ballet flats.

I'm thinking I need this cardigan in my size as well. It's got that sweet borrowed-from-grandpa thing going for it.

These pants from Lucky Wang NYC look super-duper comfy! I'm in love with the wide leg, and they come in a few colors (including a soft lavender).

The hoodie from Masala Baby seems like the kind of thing Kirah would live in and never let me wash. I'm also a fan of the unique coloring.




I can't get over this motorcycle jacket. Knock that price down and I will be all over it! How much fun would that be over a brightly colored summer dress?

A trendy T-shirt is such an easy way to get a little boy style without going over the top. This one makes me happy with it's not-too-cutesy print.

And lastly, a well worn, cozy hoodie is a kid essential. Tea Collection's stands out to me in it's simplicity.

Now go get some snips and snails and puppy dog tails for your baby girl! And if you're not sure if she looks too boyish, just throw on some pink, heart-shaped sunglasses, and you're golden. ;)
