Don't play safe, playsuit

Summer is very nearly here, and whilst it's frightening how fast this year has flown by, you cannot help but be ecstatic at the thought of summer; longer evenings, gorgeous weather and SUMMER CLOTHES. Although Autumn outfits and layers are fun to put together, there's something lovely about being able to leave the house in just a pretty top and shorts, without having to worry whether your scarf matches your thick coat.

Now a couple of years ago there was the playsuit/jumpsuit craze, but the past summer or two it seems to have died out. When they were popular they were absolutely everywhere in stores; hundreds of different prints, styles, colours. But lack of interest in them over the past year or two has resulted in less availability of choice, but I don't see what's not to love about them?! They're fun, cute and comfortable- what could be better. To me, nothing screams summer more than a pretty playsuit, and they are especially great for girls who feel that dresses are too girly for them but they'd still like to dress it up a bit.

I have found a playsuit I absolutely adore from American Apparel (surprise surprise!) I ordered it the other day and when it arrived I was pleased to discover that it is just as cute in person as it is on the website (unfortunately I don't have the AA model's legs so maybe not just as cute...)The playsuit I ordered is the Stripe T-shirt Romper in the colour Natural Black Lydia Stripe. It isn't even an especially eye-catching playsuit, and the print is pretty basic, but I just thought it was just such a perfect combination of casual and slouchy mixed with fun and cute that I was instantly drawn to it!

This playsuit was £44.00 from americanapparel.co.uk
, which understandably sounds rather pricey! So I have found another playsuit which I think is equally as adorable but is more purse friendly.

This Black Wrap Jersey playsuit from Topshop is only £24.00 and is still casual and cool at the same time.



Let me know if you purcahse any other nice ones!

Update: I also purchased the American Apparel Fisherman's pullover I wanted in the colour Natural instead, and it's gorgeous!
