But if I'd been offered hand-me-downs I probably would have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596214 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 21:29:34 +0000 Caly 1596214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On occasion they have. We were team green &amp; for some reason everyone (including us) thought we were having boys. Because of this we have some boyish clothes &amp; they've worn some of the neutral/but more boyish sleepers, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596211 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 21:28:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 1596211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure; clothes are clothes. So much is so "gender specific" which kind of pisses me off. My girl might just like trucks (she does) and non-girly animals. I'm "girly" but that isn't an excuse to force on LO only what a corporation's marketing department's idea of what little girls like to wear. I hate girly as a cop out.</p> <p>ETA; I also hate the equivalent for a cop out for boys. Little dudes can rock "girl" stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596190 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 21:07:32 +0000 HLK208 1596190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but she does wear her brothers jammies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596185 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:58:50 +0000 Arden 1596185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy cargo pants for her from the boys section sometimes, and she has a couple of stripes tee shirts that are from boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596179 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:50:54 +0000 Rockies11 1596179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I find that amazing that no one says that your lo is a boy! I can have my lo in a dress and a blue cardigan, and people will call her a boy!</p> <p>I have lots of boy/gender neutral clothes for my lo because I like the look better, and I like colours like navy, green and grey and lots of those are in the "boy" section. I just buy whatever I like on her, and I don't mind if she's mistaken for a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596161 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:37:49 +0000 Anagram 1596161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: my LO has hair so she usually has a now or something. So that's probably it-- also people are getting more PC! I get a lot of "what a gorgeous baby!" Or "look at those lashes", which are gender neutral comments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596154 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:33:46 +0000 photojane 1596154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. And, I don't think I'd put a boy in any of the clothes I've gotten for her. We like girly. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596140 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:25:54 +0000 pinkcupcake 1596140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I like girly stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596138 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:24:08 +0000 Sapphiresun 1596138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: That's surprising! I find that if I take LO out in anything but pink, I get comments on my cute little boy. She has a mint and white striped sweater with glitter buttons that we were out in the other day, and at least three people came up to talk about "him". But she's bald... so perhaps that's the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596072 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:39:59 +0000 shopaholic 1596072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a couple of pieces I think. I do think some of DD's clothes will be okay for a boy in the future, so I've saved them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596062 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:32:17 +0000 Smurfette 1596062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other then navy flip flops from the boy section, nope. I like girl clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596060 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:31:45 +0000 tinyperson 1596060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: I got the navy and white striped one from Joe for my LO. 1) I love navy and 2) I wanted the leg coverage too!</p> <p>She's rocking a Montreal Canadiens tee for DH these days too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596045 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:23:44 +0000 Anagram 1596045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was an infant, I bought a lot of unisex sleepNplays and onesies, but now that she's older, I don't really but any boy clothes. I tend to buy her mostly navy, bright blue, and green because those are my favorite colors, so sometimes her clothes look like "boy clothes" even though they are girl clothes.</p> <p>Also, I have a blue stroller and all blue A&amp;A blankets, so I've been waiting for a comment on my little "boy"--haven't gotten one yet though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596042 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:20:38 +0000 lawbee11 1596042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I prefer girly/more feminine clothes. She does have a few sports team onesies, but rarely wears them. If I had a boy I would totally dress him in skinny jeans, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596039 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:19:45 +0000 Sapphiresun 1596039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I was in superstore, which carries the Joe Fresh brand, and was actually pretty pleased that there were about four long sleeve rash guards to choose from, and two were pretty cute. But the boys ones had leg coverage not just a undies type bottom, so, she's rocking the orange one from the boys section, covered from knees to neck, with a navy hat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596031 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:09:58 +0000 mrsjyw 1596031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a pair of zara skinnies that I didn't know were gender specific! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596029 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:08:31 +0000 littlek 1596029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596028 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:05:47 +0000 fancyfunction 1596028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've gotten her a few items with skulls or guitars on them that weren't the obligatory pink and that I thought looked cool :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596026 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:03:20 +0000 MamaMoose 1596026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: just yesterday in target I was bitching to my husband that almost ALL of the boy suits had rash guards with sleeves and there was only one in the girls section. All the other suits had spaghetti straps. I'm sorry but my 1 year old isn't looking to get a sweet tan!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1596005 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:37:58 +0000 Sapphiresun 1596005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. If something looks cute and gender neutral it's good to go. I also find that boys stuff is far more functional than girls. We're going on a cruise next week, and I was looking for hat, sunglasses, swim suit for her. The ones in the boys section all provided way more protection. Hats with bigger brims, more wrap style sunglasses, and a mini wet suit with long sleeves and shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595866 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 15:16:38 +0000 MoonMoon 1595866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: yes and for the same reason as you, because I love the look of skinny jeans and leggings. I also shy away from stereotypical boy stuff, and I hate sports themed stuff, and I love gender-neutral things. I notice both my husband and I shop without paying attention to whether is boy or girl stuff, and only later do we notice a little detail that lets us know it's meant for girls! I just really don't care. As soon as he expresses any kind of preference, we'll honor it, but clothing at this stage is so fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595850 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:52:12 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1595850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! I just bought her a bunch of long sleeved sporty shirts at TCP and I love the skinny sweats they have at Next. I've always loved boy sneakers, I think they look especially cute with pigtails :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595821 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:14:33 +0000 Cherrybee 1595821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do but not as much as I want to (man, there are some cute bits in the boys section!) because her name is Elliott....! It's confusing enough for people as it is!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595818 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:12:17 +0000 MamaMoose 1595818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the only "boy" clothes we have for her are zip up hoodies and a Red Sox hat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595814 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 14:05:18 +0000 looch 1595814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not at all, but I don't do it for myself either. I guess if something is really neutral, like plain colored tees or polo shirts it could go either way, but I hadn't actually done it on purpose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595795 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 13:53:01 +0000 Bookish 1595795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, our DD has a lot of boys shirts. For some reason all the dino, astronaut, alien shirts are in the boys section... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595793 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 13:49:51 +0000 blackbird 1595793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E has some boys clothing and shoes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595792 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 13:49:19 +0000 autumnlove 1595792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NFL gear(not the pink version) but I think that is it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-dress-your-lo-in-opposite-sex-clothing#post-1595779 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 13:35:35 +0000 JessKas 1595779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD wears 75% boys/neutral clothes. I just prefer that look! </p>
