My mom made the comment tonight that I'm too much of a "tomboy" because of some of the clothes I wear.

I wear alot of the vintage concert shirts that came out last year. I have AC/DC, Lynard Skynard, Poision and shirts like that.
I also have alot of the shirts that have funny sayings on them. Like I have one that says "Im not in a mad mood, I just don't like you"...


I don't wear sandles, or open back shirts. I wear blue jeans all the time. I think I own maybe 2 pairs of pants that aren't jeans.... One pair is a pair of pink camo capris and the other are black with drawstrings on the legs... can't explain them.

I wear tennis shoes and hiking boots alot.

I have never felt comfortable in a dress/skirt or even shorts. I ran track all through high school and have very muscular legs that aren't "feminine" to me.

This is a typical outfit for me

Or even this


This has got me all self concious now


Anyone else out there like this?

I am a total girly girl, but I think the tomboy thing is matter of opinion. It isn't my style, but I don't think your masculine at all. Your mom probaly just has a more femine style.

She does but then she doesn't. I'm wondering if it's because she wanted a little "girly" girl when I was born cuz she already has a son.... Her fault for raising me in the country on a 38 acre farm

LOL, no you're not you are simply a Kentucky girl remind me and I will send you an email of a list of things Kentucky girls do. But if you are too much of a tomboy then so am I. I am in jeans and tshirts all of the time. I only have a handful of clothes that aren't jeans and tshirts and they are for buisness or church purposes and that's it. I wear tenis shoes and boots and you know those shirts that have the wolves and horses that has the lightening on them I love those. And I love every band/ group you mentioned. So no you are not too much of a tomboy and there is nothing wrong with being one anyway.

nah you're fine



I didn't really get comfortable in skirts/dresses till i met Tristan. I wear them more often and shorter now. I don't like my legs and i'm not skinny but Tristan is always saying nice things about me so it helps. But i still love slipping on my dark blue jeans and sneakers

I try to be one but B doesn't always like it. However I miss the alternative days where I could wear a t-shirt, flannel, jeans, and Docs. Life was easier then...

That's right!
You'll have to send it to me. I guess with my strong personality and my "rough" exterioir
(as mom puts it) that people get intimidated by me

I have I think 1 dress... for church, weddings, or work
Anything "dressy" is usually borrowed

My gosh I thought I was reading something written by me there. I wear the same type shirts as you. In fact I have 3 Pink Floyd shirts and a Motley Crue shirt hanging in my closest. And I have many shirts with snarky sayings like one I just got today. It says "Don't Care, Thanks".

I wear jeans 99% of the times but I do own some shorts but they are longer then normal girl shorts. As a matter of fact they are mens shorts and they go down to me knees and I love them.

I do wear sandles at times. But not fancy ones with glitter or flowers of anything like that. Just plain jane sandles. But mostly I wear tennis shoes. And I have being meaning to buy some black work boots I like but I am too cheap to buy them lol.

I don't think there is ever a thing as to much of a tomboy. If you are happy and your SO is happy thats all that matters.

Heck my hubby likes my tomboy side. He has someone to help with his projects like working on the cars and working on the boat.

I have always been a tomboy. I only wore a dress at my wedding.

I have a High & Tight, 25 tats, none of which are the least bit feminine.
I wear Docs, Skechers, or Wolverine work boots.
I wear jeans, but i prefer cammies from the Army/Navy surplus stores, prefer my jackets from there as well.
I wear a wallet with a 40 inch chain.


If, IF i wear a dress, it's usually a sundress and always with knee high socks and combat boots, with a flannel shirt

I'm kind of in between. Not a full-out Tom Boy, but not a girly girl either. My cousin however is VERY much a tom boy. She dresses like you. Lots of *black* T-shirts, does alot of sports, was in ROTC, covered in tattoos (although, that can be kind of feminine these days) and very active. She is a blast though! I wouldn't have her any other way!


I think it doesn't matter, as long as it is truely who you are...

(on a side note...she is also always dating very attractive men!!
)

I have one of those to. I don't know how long the chain is tho. I bought it about 2 years ago. I have always hated purses and just carrying a wallet in my hand I ended up loosing it so a chain wallet works well for me.

Dixie I have a Bart shirt that says "I have issues".

Purses kinda suck, if I need to carry more than money and ID, I use a military map bag.
