A knife pleat maxi skirt that reminds me of peach sherbet and Pringles. A stubborn and playful dog that looks like a teddy bear. A busy combination of long lines and micro stripes. The ever burning question a blogger has to ask herself, “do I need to suck it in more?” It’s my….
{ Architecture of an Outfit: knife pleat coral maxi skirt, striped shirred sleeve top, lace dangle earrings, and Max the Wheaten Terrier Bear Dog }
The movement and swish of the skirt make wearing it fun.
I love the knife pleats of this coral maxi skirt against the micro thin stripes of my top. Probably too busy.
Max is bigger than most of his pictures make him seem.
From the back. Straight up busy with all the lines. I love.
Wore this about a month ago when we got stuck in traffic and missed getting to our favorite farmers market out in Kane‘ohe. Instead of getting all bummed and going back home, we went to Greens & Vines, our favorite local vegan eatery. Thankfully, we brought Max, our adorable teddy-bear-like Wheaten Terrier, who spazzed out with friendship and playfully insane energy whenever someone came by our table. He probably gave our server a full-on saliva bath.

“Is my belly pouche showing? Do I need to suck it in?”
And I leave you with my funny expression where I’m asking Husby if my stomach (bloated from dinner) is stickin’ out. IS IT?

What pooch are you freakin’ talking about. Wanna see one? Come here to Maui and I’ll show you a big one. LOL. It’s okay. I embrace my curves and have loved my body at any size. It’s all about wearing the right things for our body types. Ill fitting clothing is never stylish.
I am beyond OBSESSED with this look and may need to recreated it one day. I must find a gorgeous coral hued maxi skirt. So freakin’ beautiful… both YOU and the skirt. Hi Max bear! Yes, I’d have to agree that he is MUCH BIGGER in real life. And even more adorable, too.
I got your email yesterday… I love you, too. I was super stressed yesterday, too. Argh. I’ll email you more in detail.
xx Love & Aloha
