Group Of Moms Create A #ClothesWIthoutLimits Line For Girls

A group of moms grew tired of the limited number of clothing options for their young girls. They got tired of seeing just sparkly pink clothes on the racks at the shopping centers. So, these moms came together and started their own clothing line called #ClothesWithoutLimits where they removed the stereotypes typically found in young girls' clothes. They have dresses with atomic shells designs on them, a shirt with the saying "Forget Princess, Call Me President," and many designs that involve dinosaurs and robots.

The 10 moms that came together to form this clothing line set out to do much more than just design clothes, they want to help make people realize how the lack of clothing options for young girls have an impact far beyond just clothes. They want to show the world that girls need to have many options so they don't feel they can only like certain things because of their gender.

There are young girls that simply do not enjoy wearing a dress, and when it comes to dressing up for a family occasion it is practically impossible to find something that their child will willingly want to wear. So, this clothing line also offers cute suits made specifically for girls. You shouldn't have to choose between wearing a dress or wearing something with a dinosaur on it, so these moms combined the two so that these young girls can have more options and be excited about the clothes they can wear.

This campaign goes far beyond just the clothes, these moms want people to help allow children to express themselves and be fully comfortable doing so. They want people to encourage children to do three different things: wear what they love, recognize that stereotypes exist and think critically of them, and to respect and understand that people have different ideas/interests from theirs and that is completely okay and acceptable.

I think this is such a wonderful campaign, and I fully support what these mothers are setting out to do. They want to help break down the gender stereotypes and show young girls that it is okay to be interested in things that others might not enjoy. A girl shouldn't be forced to wear something that they find uncomfortable because "that's what they are supposed to wear" but rather be able to find something they love and will be proud to show off. They are taking suggestions for new clothing options by telling people to send in what their children love but aren't depicted in any clothing options.

One of the moms, Michele Yulo, said the following in an interview “Clothing is an extension of our personalities revealing specific characteristics about who we are and, inevitably, judgements are made based on those choices,”. This is completely accurate and I know that this line/campaign is going to make it big. Young girls need the options to express who they truly are, and clothes are the best way to do so. This line of clothing will give them the option to fully show who they are.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
