I was out shopping today, and while in Boots, stopped to look at the baby clothes to see if there was anything I liked for DS.
A couple came along, with a baby girl in a pushchair, and started looking at the clothes too. The dad picked up a white sundress with a pattern of blue birds on it, and said "How about this for [popular girls name]?" The mum took one look, and said "No, it's got blue on it"
I found that a little depressing. Why can't a little girl have a sundress with blue on it? Surely no-one's going to think she's a boy, given that it's a dress, just because it's got blue birds on it?
I find this obsession with colour coded baby clothes very annoying.
