Boys Can Wear Pink

It is so fun to be back this year with another contribution to 'Boys Can Wear Pink'!  I love breaking the notion that a gender can own or be excluded from a color.  Historically it just has never been true in fashion so why perpetuate a myth.  My kids get the range of the rainbow to dress in, and it is totally cool that Mack's favorites are pink and purple and Asher's worst WORST favorite (meaning least favorite in 5 year old speak) is pink - ok Ash, I hear ya, no pink for you this year.  But that leaves...
