A Page from Marilyn Monroe

I usually feature Ms. Bettie Page for my outfit re-creations but I saw this adorable set of Marilyn and I thought "GAWD they just don't make shorts like they used to". They're short shorts...without the "trashy" feel we get from today's short shorts...you know the ones that hardly cover your naughty bits....yeah...these ones.

I could never ever ever bring myself to wear a pair of "hot pants". But to me the 50s short shorts don't have the same feel. They're sexy and show a lot of skin...but they still cover your goods and leave what should be left to the imagination.

Marilyn is wearing her amazing high waisted shorts with a rolled up mock turtle neck. I opted for something more summery...it is summer now and its time to dress for it.

This is a matched set (with some sun damage) I love it! Perfect for summer

Another adorable set, this one has longer shorts but they're super tight so I think they're still very sexy even-though you're showing less skin.

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
