I Heart Hawaiian Shirts

I am obsessed with all things tropical and all things retro, and I think I have more hawaiian shirts than any twenty-something woman really needs. I’ve got yellow, red, green and yet more yellow, black and brown and everything in between ( I need to get pink, I NEED to ), and I’ve always got it in my head that I want one more, lol. They’ve got such a nice, laid back feeling to them and when it comes to comfort, as my grandma used to say, they’re like buttah. They make me think of vacations I can’t take, and places I can’t go, where the breeze is cool and the sun is warm, and the only sounds are lapping waves. I miss California, lol.

There are some gorgeous hawaiian shirts over at Mad Gringo ( I love that name, lol ), I’m especially taken with the Vanuatu Hibiscus, a gorgeous navy shirt with white hibiscus ( my favorite flower, thank you ), and real coconut buttons – how can you ask for more than that? And Mad Gringo’s “Go Slow” philosophy is right up my ally, especially with how busy I’ve been lately. I love that they promote the concept of stopping for a bit to smell the roses and kick back, I mean, tomorrow’s gonna be there – monday’s gonna be there. Real life? It’s gonna be there. Take a break, already, lol.

Just to note: What I find offensive? Is what we'll call offensive, this being my blog and all. ;)
