Aloha Style

OK, I know that I've been absent for awhile but it is with good reason. I was on my very long overdue honeymoon with my wife of five months. It was a fabulous adventurous, romantic, relaxing Hawaiian vacation. I am still in my Hawaiian frame of mind therefore it is really difficult for me to think of any fashion topic that I actually feel like writing about. You see, I was on the island of Kauai. The people of Kauai are very laid back and don't seem to care much about anything those of us who live on the mainland care about let alone fashion. The extent of their wardrobe is t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. They are much more concerned about how many rainbows, whales, and sea turtles they saw that day or how many roosters they avoided hitting while driving on their two lane road around the island.

While we were there, I completely embraced this lifestyle. I thoroughly enjoyed not wearing make-up, not having to decide what accessories to wear with each outfit, not caring if I was wearing the perfect shoes, and not worrying about how I looked in general. I basically wore one pair of black flip-flops every day with every outfit except for my ugly Teva-like sandals that I wore to zipline, hike, and kayak. This experience got me thinking about fashion and I realized something that I already knew deep down inside; fashion is not THAT important in the grand scheme of things. This does not mean that I'm not going to write about fashion, think about fashion, or change my style in anyway. But I am aware that there are more important things in life. Anytime you need a reality check, go to Kauai. Seeing a rainbow everyday may be all you need. Mahalo.
