Tropical clothes made in Hawaii just makes them authentic, you know? Like lederhosen made in Germany.

Hilo Hattie also reminds me of the islands back when I went to college there at UNH-Manoa. Yep, I went there for one whole blissful year. and yes, the Marine Biology let us out early when the surf was good and yes, he wore flip flops to class and a shirt very much like this one.

People on the Hawaiian Islands wear these bright, beautiful, bold florals all the time—definitely on Aloha Fridays. Did you know that Aloha Fridays started in 1966 in Hawaii and , then spread to California and beyond until it became know around the globe as "Casual Fridays"?

So if you enjoy that perk at your work, you can say Mahalo to the Hawaiians. And if you don't enjoy that work-perk, you should suggest it at your next company meeting—preferably wearing this muumuu.

How can you have a bad day wearing this thing? You can't. How can someone not smile at you wearing this thing? They can't.

Neeeeeext....let's address the elephant in the room shall we? Yes, it's the matching muumuu I'm wearing in the last photo while holding up this shirt. You know we all start dressing like our spouses after awhile anyway, so just embrace it, I say! Buy her the muumuu and you buy the shirt and then surprise her with 2 tickets to Hawaii because you love her and you want her to relax because she works so hard.

If you say I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE, NINA! then message me and we'll get you a little discount on the matching set (if it hasn't been sold) and we can combine shipping and save you some money for that Mai Tai you're going to enjoy the first time you wear one of these out.

Go Big or Go Home someone once said time and they were right...well, except in certain circumstances in which they were very, very wrong.

Let's talk.
