she's still a boy.

a tomboy, that is.
no matter how often i wear florals
no matter how short or long my skirts are
no matter that i sometimes adore pink
no matter how many lipsticks i buy.

i will get dirty
i will play ball with the minis
i will always dream of motorcycles
i will sometimes wear converse
with my skirt.

dark chocolate reese's. heaven in a tiny paper cup.

That skirt is ridiculously adorable, and I absolutely love it with the Converse. Nice touch :)

I think I'm going to have to head out and pick up some feather accessories this weekend, because I have been seriously coveting your jewelry lately!

Meri said...

ha, I"m just the same way- I love to dress up, but I'll always be sort of a tomboy. You rock the femme look well!

Jenny said...

I just love the mix of the skirt and the Converse - L-O-V-E!!! And honestly, anything that says Reese's is Heaven to me :o)

JennaStevie said...

I am totally a tomboy at heart too, it's so much fun to mix feminie pieces with more masculine pieces though. I love the converse and this floral skirt together, sooo good. The yellow goes so perfectly with the floral skirt too. Yummy reeces pieces, kind of my favorite.

Thank you for your sweet comment on my post today, I really appreciate it. I had an artery in my arm replaced in january (a complication of prior surgeries, grr) but I'm pretty sure this ones going to go well!

Way to rock the sneakers, girl!

Reminds me of this pic of Sarah Silverman:

but just a lot more stylishly chosen, as your clothing flatters you, hers...not so much.

This outfit totally rocks! I love the girly flower skirt with the Chucks. They bring a fun edge to the outfit.

My Chucks are my go to for casual footwear. I've always loved them with skirts. I really like this outfit and the contrast, it totally works. You look great in it.

I adore this look and love wearing my converses under dressy stuff too. I am definitely far from a tomboy but love the look.
The feather necklace so pops on the yellow tee.

i LOVE the floral skirt with the chucks! I am the same... I buy makeup, heels, all the girly things, but oh man, give me a tshirt and some sweats (maybe some black harem pants), throw in my worn-out pair of chucks, and I am GOOD. :)

converse with a dress or skirt is one of my favorites! You look great!

I feel the exact same way. No matter how girly I dress or act, I am still almost totally a dude at heart. I don't think that will ever change.

I love this skirt! So cute! I used to feel really out of place wearing girly things but I've gotten used to it by now. I used to only wear jeans and big sweaters. But I'm much happier with my pretty dresses now :)

You have a great style. A for sure, it's no compromise. Florals don't need to mean Victorian girlishness :)

I adore the feather necklace.
