i don't play with dolls

One of my top 10 phrases as a child: "I don't play with dolls."

That along with, "I hate socks" & "please don't make me wear that dress!"

Each year, I had a collection of unopened Barbie dolls at the end of every birthday.

My mother had to yell at me or bribe me (sometimes both) to get me into a dress or skirt and tights/hosiery were an added fee. My boyish frame and semi-permanent ponytail, never made it easy to look more girly. Plus, the dresses I had to wear were itchy, frilly and insanely floral (not in the good way). I used to pack a bag with extra clothes in the car and change on the way home in the efforts of relieving myself a second earlier from a dress. A true diehard tomboy and completely comfortable with it!

As the Resort 2013 collections continue to trickle in, I've provided a list of images below as some of my picks of mannish details. From athletic to refined, there's a good mix being shown down the runway to feed every kind of tomboy. And I am totally delighted because I am a huge fan of dropped waistlines and boxy silhouettes. WIN!

pants optional

Humidity and trapped heat makes us wish for the option of running around naked. Since running around naked (aka streaking) is most likely to be viewed as socially harmful, the least we could grace you with is a strong top but bottomless option. Who said a pair of pretty panties or bathing suit can't look rad with a solid piece of outerwear? 

- not us - 

A woman's greatest accessory is a great pair of stems, and a good ass attached to said legs is a plus!
