pink for boys?

whitney of little reader vintage tweeted me thursday
to let me know that we had been featured on the etsy blog.
it is a very interesting post on how boys originally wore pink
and girls were dressed in blue
and the role colors play in choosing gender specific clothing.
the writer references a smithsonian article
titled "when did girls start wearing pink".


i thought i would do a search to see if i could find any 
pink vintage boy clothing. nothing came up after numerous
tags. there are PLENTY of blue options for girls.
here are a few from some VKC members.
question?
i am sure some of you dress your girls in blue but
would you or do you dress your boys in pink?

1. kyssa picnic dress 2. MissShapes polka dot babydoll dress 3. emmapanda smocked dress 4. fuzzymama frilly blue dress

5. OliversForest  girls corduroy overalls  6. sweet shop vintage baby girl balloon top 7. Lishyloo wee blue baby sweater  8. Binspired  quilted baby girl overalls

Vintage Baby Shower: A Little Girl's Stork Theme

I had the idea to start a new little series here on the VKC blog: Vintage Baby Showers!

While etsy is a great source for handmade treats, favors, and decorations, there are also so many amazing vintage goodies for throwing parties!


Here are some of the things I found for someone throwing a shower for a little girl!
