I was super overwhelmed by all the lovely comments of you guys when I shared some personal facts about being an introvert. So great to hear that there are so many girls and guys around who have the same feelings I have. Yes, we may be a bit different but that makes us so unique. Through the years I’ve been trying to work on accepting things of myself and my personality and hopefully it will inspire others.
Spending my days as a little girl I always was surrounded by sweet girls with long blond hair and actually I couldn’t really relate to them. I always felt a bit like an outsider and I really tried to become more feminine because that was more the standard. During my puberty I really was looking for my identity and I often switched from different styles. This went through only a few years ago until I got more confidence and knew I had to become myself and not somebody else. Being a tomboy from the inside and outside means so much more than dressing up in flat shoes and boyfriend jeans and that’s why I made this post. Down below I’m share a few of my statements of being a tomboy.
No! I don’t miss long hair / I always get a lot of questions about my hair and hearing people around who don’t dare to cut it super short. Besides this people keep asking me if I don’t miss having long hair. To be honest, I love seeing other girls with luscious long hair and somewhere in the back of my mind daydreaming about having long hair myself. But only 5 seconds later I remind myself I’m really not the type for having long hair.
Dressing up all feminine feels wrong / Oh, through the years I tried to wear super feminine looks with a dress, heels and my hair long over my shoulders. At that moment I kinda liked it but from inside I knew this wasn’t my true me and I really felt uncomfortable in it. I tried almost all the heels in the world and the same thing for dresses and skirts. Nowadays I learned myself to bring my looks in balance and when I wear something feminine it always has to be styled with a tough shoes or a cool (leather) jacket.
I still love some girly stuff / Being a tomboy doesn’t mean that I don’t like cute and girly stuff. Yes, I love Hello Kitty! Yes, of course I don’t hate pink. And yes, I still enjoy and love buying new make-up. Becoming a tomboy and giving myself this label was a hell of a process and along the way I ditched and kept some girly stuff here and there. Also back in the days I always was in doubt about playing with my Barbies and climbing up in trees.
Comfort goes for looking fancy / Thanks to my blog I’ve been invited for a lot of events and some of them have been listed with a dress code. Going for cocktail dresses, high heels or looking super fancy isn’t my cup of tea and I prefer to get creative and go for my own interpretation of a dress code. Dressing up in a suit, flat brogues or a cool blazer are my to go pieces when I need to dress up classy. And those man repelling items? I love them ;)
