Boys Can Love Pink too! Be Quirkie :)

Last month A had color week at school. Thursday was favorite color day. When I asked A on Tuesday what color he wanted to wear for Favorite Color day, he said pink.


Now, there is nothing wrong with pink, I shouldn’t even think twice about it, it is just a color. But in our society, pink is for girls. He is already very conscious about things that are for girls – such as singing “Let it Go” or any song where there is no boy part.

I don’t care in the slightest if he wears pink – but society does. As a mom, I worry about him, whether kids will make fun of him, and if he’ll understand or feel hurt. How weird is it that a color can make me anxious L



I was recently introduced to a small company called Quirkie kids – they make pink kids clothes – for boys and girls (or should I say unisex). We received a t-shirt that A just loves. It’s a dinosaur shirt in pink. What a great idea – to put non-traditional designs that either gender can wear on pink!


A has already worn it to Hawaii, to school, as PJs. It has quickly become one of his favorite shirts.



Though, by favorite color day, he’d changes his mind 4 times and ultimately went with the orange shirt…oh well! I let him wear whatever color he chooses!

Please check out Quirkie kids shirts – they are not only cute and well made, but I really think it’s important that everyone can enjoy pink without worrying about it!



Discliamer: I received a free shirt in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own!
