The Guilty Pleasures of Summer

1950s Vintage Swimsuit
The lazy days of summer have arrived...at long last.  I have completed my writing assignments for Fashion Projects and Worn Fashion Journal. One darling boy just finished his last exam this afternoon and the other has graduated... I have a long list of projects to tackle at my studio and another long list of research topics and interview subjects on my to-do list but all I want to do is hang out in my backyard for a bit and enjoy the warm temps and sunny skies. I should have been at the museum this aft, but I opted to do nothing instead. Talk about guilty pleasure! What are your summer plans?

What a great photo Ingrid...be guilt-less and enjoy, you deserve it! I still haven't gotten into my "groove" of summer, but am enjoying what I can!

Welcome Summer indeed! I would love to be near a beach as much as possible. Some down time is always welcome. Enjoy sweets!

Perfect photo for what summer ought to feel like- captures that nostalgic feeling of childhood with an eccentric nonna at the beach...
I'm feeling the sunshine pull too and it's putting too many things on the back burner. Prom night next Tuesday so mostly feels like back stage big time productions indoors (I hear the pool calling- gotta go!)

It's a long time i said adieu to bikinis and this swimsuit is too adorable! :-)

Love that swimming costume! I agree with DolceDreams - they shouldn't be guilty pleasures at all! :)

Summer plans are forming, and they'll involve a house move (gulp) but also a trip to Spain in early September. It's a long way off but I'm looking forward to it.

Enjoy yours!
