Dress with impact. My Hawaii street style for days I feel like poo. Low effort, high style, brah! That’s how to do it. Chee hoo!

Work it, girl. How I dress when I feel blah. Hat, shorts, sexy shoes and high-impact accessories with a pop of color.

{ Architecture of an Outfit } Leopard Button Down, Silver Body Chain, ETSIS Custom Floppy Sun Hat, Shorts and Sexy Yellow Platforms

What I wore when I felt like crap. It looks hard to do… but really, it’s the prints, accessories and shoes doing all the work.

Swagger and rock all in one outfit: leopard shirt, body chain, and face hiding floppy sun hat.

Just put on a body chain when you want to feel bad ass. You just slip it on.

Can you see me? Silver armswag and body chain. Edge without trying too hard.

ETSIS Hats here in Hawaii customizes sun hats with UPF 50 scarf panels that wrap around your cheeks and neck to provide exceptional sun protection to the delicate skin on your face and neck. While they have their own sun protection hats line, I preferred to wear this wool floppy with my outfit. I snap-in the SunEscape Protection Panels when I drive or run errands. It’s a gorgeous style without much work at all.

ETSIS Customized Hat: Stylish and protecting my face at the same time. Get one at www.etsishats.com. (Custom hats for Hawaii residents only.)

Unfortunately, customized hats (where you bring in your own hat, and they put in the panel application for you) is only available in Hawaii, but you can get your own Sun Protection Hat at their website: www.etsishats.com.

Neon-ish yellow suede shoes give me the necessary swagger, and make my petite frame seem that much less petite.
