Playful Playsuits

I think that playsuits are the CUTEST thing ever invented. You look adorable in them at age 3 or 63. I think its a timeless style that works in any era. My favorite admittedly are the 40's suits with the halter tie tops and shorts. Here are some from the 40s through the late 60s. Enjoy and think about all the fun places you could be playing in one of these playsuits. I'm thinking on a yacht on the ocean...possibly playing tennis. Where would you play?

Here is a late 60s playsuit with halter top and cuffed striped shorts. I love the colors in this one. Yesterdazed
Abstract floral print on this tiny top with shorts. Think this one would be cute in the park. Doll007
LOOOOVE the buttons on this 40's suit. The iconic halter with flat front shorts. Bombshell1939
This one isn't a two piece like the others but I like how the shorts imitate a pleated skirt...I could wear this one playing tennis. :) DalenaVintage
This super cute tie front romper set has a "sring meadow" sort of fabric. A-DORABLE! BambooBettie
Cinco de Mayo romper set with ric-rac trim...I'm pretty sure all the buttons should be in the back on this one...so...um..yeah. Shonna'sVintage
Amazing romper set buttons up the front, loose flirty shorts. So flipping cute. Fab Gabs
A little more conservative? How about Bermuda shorts with a sweet button front top. I think this set would per perfect for hiking, camping or other family outing. StrandsofPearl

etsy is pretty much the best place to search for 40s at good prices. This is just a few of the playsuits I found. There were a lot more than just these two piece ones. If you're looking for a specific type of piece or a specific size I can help you look...its kind of my most favorite thing to do ever ;)
