Or maybe THIS particular tunic was not a good idea.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. I parent pretty much gender neutral as well & have no problem putting my son in so called girl colors. Last summer my son had neon pink converse. He too has very curly hair & is very "pretty" & even when we dress him completely boy we have people asking if he's a girl. BUT if I had seen your son in that shirt I would have just thought "why is he wearing a girl shirt". In my opinion tunics are very gender specific & I've never seen a man wear one & thought it looked good. In fact I saw a man not to long ago in one & couldn't stop laughing. I just don't think that this works.

@Studio16: I would have my daughter dressed in all pink with a bow in her hair, and people would tell me how handsome/cute/whatever my son was. This boy, however, looks like a boy, and a very cute one, at that! Love the idea of gender-neutralizing clothes. I tend to dress my daughter in boy's jeans as 1) they're less expensive and a sturdier material and 2) they don't have decorations on the bottom (b/c why does a 2-year old need a huge glitter heart on her bottom??).

Thanks Studio16! We think he's pretty precious too (when he's not being a crazy little hilarious monster). :)

1. I'm still trying to grasp why people would think your soon is a girl? He definitely looks like a little boy to me. 2. He is precious! 3. I like the tunic. It's a very feminine tunic, but you paired it with pieces that made it look a little more masculine. It's just all around amazing.
