Day 4: Try a boyish look –
As the youngest of four (and the youngest of all the cousins on both sides) you better believe I had some hand-me-downs to wear in my life! Regardless of whether the clothes were designed for boys or girls I had to wear them. My biggest gripe about wearing my brother’s cast-offs came in primary school when we had to wear an art smock during our painting classes and instead of a funky, colourful, handmade smock (like all the other girls were wearing) I had to wear an old plaid Miller button down shirt during these classes. I hated it so much but looking back they were so cool!
If you told me that 30 years later I’d be buying a similar shirt I would have slapped you!

What were the worst hand-me-downs you had to wear?

Luckily I was the oldest, so I didn’t have a tonne of hand me downs. But I did get some from my older cousin every now and then. Usually it was gorgeous dresses my Nan had sewn so that was okay 🙂
See I could deal with that, but yucky boys clothes?! No thanks!! LOL!!
Hahaha 🙂
I was the youngest, too! Out of the siblings, cousins, and even my friends (although that’s changing as I get older). I never really had too many qualms about hand-me-downs… I liked most of what I got. My grandmother did put me in a terrible lacey get-up that looked like it was from the Victorian era (long sleeves, super high neckline, and all!). I was about 13 and I was so, so embarrassed. haha!
Oh dear! Thankfully my mum wasn’t the best at sewing and making clothes so I only had the embarrassment of wearing boys clothes LOL!
I was the oldest, so I got lucky! The only hand me downs I had were ones I wanted that my older cousin gave me. My younger sisters…not so much!

See, being the eldest has its perks! Sure you get spoilt more as the youngest but you look terrible doing it 😝😝😝
I have to say this is the most un-boyish look ever lol Your shirt is so cute! ^_^ In the 90’s I used to nick my Dads lumberjack shirts to go with ripped jeans.
Haha you think? This is probably the closest I get to boyish dressing 😎😊
Aw this look is SO CUTE! Hahahaaaa memories! I have to say I was hoping to see golf pants… xo
Ummmm that’d be a negative on the golf pant! I can’t EVEN 😐😐😐
