I like a lot of masculine and boyish fashion styles. But I also like cute feminine things sometimes. If I found a pink silver purple glittery star and heart decorated pair of shoes, in my size, which were comfortable and had good arch support, and didn't have leather or PVC, I would totally get them. But alack, the star-studded glittery shoes are generally only to be found in little foot sizes, and without the other qualities.
One common motif in boy's clothing which I don't like for myself, is skulls. I also don't care for sports motifs, or car/truck/motorcycle motifs... oh well. But it's generally easier for me to find things I like in the boys'/men's departments, than in the women's. (Girls' sizes don't fit me, otherwise there'd probably be a few more pink/glittery/star-studded items in my closet).

I'm going to the beach next weekend, so I've been looking for some new swimwear. I bought a couple of boy's/men's swimming trunks aka boardshorts. I don't like the feel of water swirling directly across my nether regions, so I also looked for some women's swim bottoms to wear underneath the shorts. It was hard to find any that met with my approval. Most of the bikini bottoms I saw aren't even big enough to cover my butt crack (and I have a small butt!). The few I tried on made me painfully aware of how much cellulite I have on my legs. But I did find 2 pairs which seemed ok (the first store didn't have any good ones, the 2nd store had 1 good one, and the 3rd store had 1 good one).
I didn't find any tops in the stores which met with my approval. But I hadn't expected to, so I had already ordered these fine-looking items:
Girls4Sport Sleeveless Black Rashguard
Girls4Sport Forever Sleeveless Rashguard (I suspect that photo isn't quite correct, since the style is different than the first link. But either style is ok with me.)
I have a green sports-bra, which I suppose I could wear as a top too... with or without a t-shirt over it. It would match the board-shorts I bought, color-wise.
