End Notes:
I have really been enjoying my extended vacation over winter break. After a really, really full academic year that included quite a few significant milestones — finishing coursework, finishing my last language requirement, passing my comprehensive exams, submitting my Title, Scope, and Procedure form — I have allowed myself to take a true break and just breathe a little.
In Houston, this breezier state of mind manifested itself in belt-free outfits: longer shirts and a draped open cardigan. In Honolulu, it’s frequently taken the form of full, swishy skirts and warm, yummy colors.
While I am ready and motivated to begin working on my dissertation again, I can’t say that that I’m ready to jump back into below-freezing Midwest temperatures and all the many layers it requires. I’ll be hanging loose for a few more days…

I’m glad you are letting yourself take a break, it can be hard to walk away sometimes. Enjoy the time with your family and the weather. I was told it was -11 in WI yesterday…ew.
And I really like the first unbelted look, love the colors.
If you have time, check out my baby blog.
Love the color of that little cropped sweater.
Gorgeous photos! I’ve noticed you have a knack for using sunlight to your advantage which I need to learn. :) Happy last-minute relaxing!
