I've always loved a one piece bathing suit. Interestingly, sometimes I think they can be more difficult to wear, like they aren't as forgiving as two pieces at times. But when I'm feeling fit, I do love a one piece bathing suit, like the one I wore below recreating a moment in time featuring my Grandmother (far right) and some of her friends. Below are a few of my current favorites. Shop 'til you drop, because summer time starts this Memorial Day weekend!
If you live in the Charlotte area, next time you are at SouthPark Mall or in the area, be sure to snag a copy of SouthPark Magazine. I very worked hard on this one, along with an amazing team of individuals, businesses and boutiques, and I am flattered, humbled and excited to be a part the May issue. The below picture is one in the series of images where I get to show off some really amazing clothes from a few of my favorite local boutiques. My oldest son, Hank, now 7, saw the below image come up on my facebook page. I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction to seeing me dressed up like this. (Let's be honest, I am a working mom of two active boys, the only time I look like this is for a photo shoot. The next closest I come is on Sunday for church, date night or when I am meeting clients, but it is a loooong way off from this.
Hank: Mommy, is that you?
Me: (Excitedly) Yes! What do you think?
Hank: I don't get it. it's weird. Your head looks weird. You look like you are someone else.
Me: Okay, well, does the rest of my body look like me?
Hank: Yea.
Me: Well, then do you at least like my outfit?
Hank: Why would I like it?! I'm not a girl! (Runs upstairs to yell at little brother Worth for singing Let It Go again).
Ahh. The honesty of a child.
