'Tomboy' has a longish history to me as mode of expression putting together looks that got past all that crazy parental "it can be like but not be too obviously female" stuff way back in the day and in hindsight was the first obvious through dress attempt I did to keep my LG side alive spending most of my free time dressed in shorts and girlie tops. In fact just thinking back for a second, some of my tops from that period did have children's characters on them!
This was before I rediscovered Pinafores and the whole school girl bit which is wonderful.
People tried loading guns, cars and cowboy outfits on me but they weren't touched as I'm sure anyone could told them really I preferred dolls but I did like playing with trees as at our first house we had a tree lined strip between the access road and the main road where we could play at collecting sticks, hide and seek and attempt climbing.
Seeing weather aside we're heading toward spring I bought a few new clothes around that style.
One thing from those days that remains is I like laying on the grass, being sat or even crawling across carpets playing or colouring (it's a sensual thing) and sometimes Shorts can be more modest so I bought a new pair but minus all that brash sophisticated groan up branding all over them.
Anyway these are genuine kids PE shorts for the maximum authenticity and dead easy to keep clean!
It's easy to team T shirts with shorts something I'm sure most parents know but it can be harder to get stuff in bigger sizes that isn't so obviously groan up with it's images and logos but I found two that did the job perfectly in their own different ways.
Well you were expecting something Kitty, right? But this is a more a Teen take on HK with it's texting slogan and Kitty posed with cellphone and will tie in my white and black shorts to as well as skirts.
