AOAO: Hawaiian Style Micro Mini Stripes
January 12, 2012

A gorgeous east O’ahu town with an epic marina. A striped minidress. A cute, wind-blown Wheaten Terrier Bear… It’s a portrait of…

Architecture of an Outfit: Hawaiian Street Style — Striped Micro Mini Dress in Hawaii Kai

OOTD, Hawaii Street Style, Striped Micro Minidress, Hipstamatic

Stripes are my life. But you already know that.

Hawaii Kai‘s Marina is also a turquoise lagoon. A bit murky, but still azure just the same. If we ever had to leave the Windward Side (East Shore, where we live) and go over the Ko’olaus, I’d entertain the idea of living in Hawaii Kai. It’s still far away enough from town and tourists to be livable. Except for the rent prices.

Max-Bear seems to like it there.

This mini dress is unique (even though I got it at Forever21) because of the puff sleeves. And the short length is perfect for Hawaii’s warm weather, esp if we’re going into town, because town (Honolulu) is always hotter than Waiahole side where we live. Now that I’m losing my muffin top, I’m finally confident enough to wear this body hugging thing again.

I love being 40 min away from Honolulu, near the beach and surrounded by lush, rain forest-y valleys and farms. At heart, I’m a county girl trapped in a Townie’s body, with a Townie’s wardrobe. :)

If you were me, would you rather live over the mountains, or near the city?

Honi, me ke aloha ~ XO, with love,
Mae Lu
