Once When I Was

Once When I Was just a wee one I watched a lot Magnum PI with my Dad. He also had a mustache and wore Hawaiian shirts. I truly believe this is the main reason I have such an affinity towards a tropical print. Coupled with the fact that my baby years were spent on Venice Beach, CA and my tween to teens were on Hollywood Beach, FL; I know my way around a palm tree and a hibiscus flower.

Here I am wearing a vintage Gloria Vanderbilt tropical button down scored at a South Florida Goodwill. The awesome chambray circle skirt is c/o OBEY Clothing and my killer wedges are c/o 80%20 shoes.
