Playsuits spring 2010

These are a long way from what I used to wear for phys ed, but the more I see them, the more they are growing on me. First I thought, they're too short, then I thought well, if I'm comfortable in shorts this really isn't a leap, and there's such a variety to choose from.

Here's an oldie but goodie from Claire McCardell, although I have to admit it has a bit of a diaper drape that I would stay away from.

I remember actually wearing these things as a pre-teen. You have to completely undress every time you need to use the ladies' room!

I have an Escada pantsuit that I wore to death, but I once left the ladies room with some fluff on my shoulders. Since then, I learned it's a balancing act when it comes to the bathroom:)

I think I had a terry cloth one in every color including rainbow when I was a kid. Don't think I could pull one off theses days but it sure brings back memories.

I actually don't hate the Jason Wu. That is really saying something.
