[quote=Anonymous]My 6yo DD has pegged herself as a "tomboy" (I personally dislike this word, but whatever).  We generally shop in the boy department for her & at the moment she prefers "boy" t-shirts (superheros, sports, dark colors, etc), basketball shorts or comfortable leggings, etc.  In general, this is totally fine with me, although frustrating that the boy clothes are larger/harder to "fit" and when you shop for this kind of stuff in the "girl" department, the options are all pink & purple. (Frustrating that clothes manufacturers seem to think that all girls want to wear sparkly pink and purple and hearts/rainbows/unicorns, but that's a separate discussion for another day).

The problem is, I am unsure of what to do with her in a situation where we "have" to dress up (weddings, funerals, etc).  She really hates skirts/dresses, and I totally understand. For her Kindergarten Graduation, I avoided the situation by buying her a "Straight Outta Kindergarten" T-shirt instead of making her dress up.  But we have other things, like an awards banquet, coming up where we have to dress nice.  What other options are there for little girls, beyond dresses/skirts?  Are there other options???  I'd welcome any ideas.  [/quote]
