Not all women are born prim and finesse so we can’t deny that there are boyish girls out there. Alpha-female, tomboy, whatever the right term is – either they find dainty things too gay or they feel that an assertive character is more endearing. I came up with this post because a few of my email senders confessed that they’re not the girly-type. But even though there are some who don’t prefer the pink and flowery fashion, there are these sporty styles that will make a boyish gal look fab – jumpsuits, dark colored nail polish, and laid-back straight hairstyle inspired by high-end brands for 2010 fashion trend.
Bold accessories are in. This is even proved by trendy wide necklaces and thick belts. Below is a Prada couture but cheaper alternative of accessories can be an inspiration for everyday wear.
