Take It Up A Notch

This summer, we have decided to take a break from the expected; you know, the usual "oh I'm going to just relax," which could easily become doing nothing and complaining about missed opportunities later.  In order to avoid such a rut, we both intend to expand out horizons to new areas and experiences this summer.  Visit people we been promising to see over the years; experience weather different than we've come to know; eat food we have been wanting to try; finish book we stopped reading midway through; and experiment with styles that are not typically ours.  How do you plan to take it up a notch?

  1. I heart this romper too! You don't have to wait till 15 lbs lighter to wear a romper...whether a size 2 or 22..it's all about finding one that is just right for you body shape.

  4. What a great idea for summer! For me, my schedule has been so packed with back to back obligations, I would love a day to just sit back and relax. And remember how much I need to get a hammock . . . You have such a beautiful smile! Love the pictures!

  13. Thanks for the compliments. I had so much styling this outfit and the shoes were the finishing touch. And I couldn't agree with you more, YES if I had a little one the summer would be devoted to making those cherished summer memories.

  19. You look gorgeous! I love that shot of your awesome shoes (and legs!) where you're looking over the little railing!

    And what a fabulous idea of how to spend your summer! I should do something like that, only make it about fun things to do and experience with the kidlets. Otherwise, like you said, summer will be gone before we know it and will be totally wasted!

  21. Those shoes...those shoes! The entire ensemble is gorgeous, though! I actually plan to take my summer DOWN a notch...at least for a little while. As a teacher, last summer was marked with workshops galore. This summer is as well, but I want to spend more time hanging out with my four-year old son.

  25. For me relaxing and spending time with myself will be taking it up a notch since it is something I rarely do. I want to be good for my students, family and friends when I do visit.
    When I saw the first photo my immediate thoughts was WOW this is a great summer look. I don't own a romper but now I'm really considering purchasing one. The shoes, accessories and nail polish are adorable.
