How to Be a Girly Tomboy

The color pink can add a girlish touch to a tomboy style.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a tomboy. Some girls enjoy being one of the guys, or simply aren't interested in a high-maintenance, girly existence. But tomboys who find themselves wanting to explore their girlish side shouldn't despair; the differences between girly girls and tomboys aren't that difficult to bridge. It's easy to blend these two differing styles and reach a happy medium.

Things You'll Need

• Shower
• Shampoo
• Brush
• Toothbrush
• Skirt
• Dress
• Boots
• Accessories
• Makeup

Instructions

1. Shower daily. Wash your hair at least every other day.

2. Brush your hair at least once a day. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Transition from grunginess to a cleaner, more feminine hygiene.

3. Incorporate more feminine pieces into your look gradually. Buy clothes that still express your tomboy style but with the occasional pop of pink or purple. Add some traditionally girlish pieces of clothing to your wardrobe, such as skirts and dresses. Wear these girly items with tomboy pieces, such as a dress with combat boots.

4. Add accessories to your wardrobe. Wear jewelry, headbands, scarves, etc. with tomboy outfits.

5. Vary your hairdo from day to day. Show creativity and effort in your appearance in small ways.

6. Wear makeup. Use just one or two items, such as mascara or lip-gloss and mascara, to add a subtle hint of girlishness.

Tips & Warnings

• The most important aspect of your look is that you are happy with it, and that you feel like yourself.
