21 Apr BOYFRIEND JEANS FOR TINY GIRLFRIENDS
Shopping for little girls clothes can take you from “Squee!” to despair in a few swift moments. Just when you think you’ve found a pair of plain jeans, you pick them up, turn them over and, bam! You find a heart, a butterfly or a bloody embroidered flower on there for no reason other than being an unneccesary reminder that “These are girls’ jeans!’. If you ever find yourself in this situation, I urge you to take a stroll over to the boys section, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Boyfriend denim has graced us for so many seasons now, it’s kind of just the way we dress, so how about boyfriend denim for little girls? Or Big brother denim for girls wearing their big brother’s old jeans? Hand-me downs have never looked so cool… plus there are few things cuter than a cross-dressing toddler. So we’ve pulled together some outfits with items from the boys section for these little girlfriends.
