If there is one thing I have learned from reading my new favorite blog, Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund, it is this: readers ADORE seeing you in costumes! (Right!?) So here you go.
My official Hawaii snorkeling costume.
I know! How awesome does it get? The capri pants and blue watery top are made of 50 spf materials so they act as sunblock!
I have a bunch of other costumes for Hawaii that I know you can’t wait to see, so I won’t drag it out a post a day for the next week. I’ll just drop the whole bomb on you now because I know how excited you are to see what I will be wearing in Hawaii! (Besides, I promised my mom and Laura and Melanie that I would provide photos of my new hat and swimsuits.)
First we have last year’s swim wear. (Because I plan to swim every day and need ALL my swimmy soups!)
STILL cute, right?
Then we have my old swim skirt with a NEW purple swim top!
It matches my cute purple toes!
… and my new purple water shoes!
Racer back looks AWESOME with my tattoos!
I just love the flirty skirts!
My new swimmy soup has a skirt, too!
This one just screams “HAWAIIAN VACATION!”
And NOW: The moment you have all been waiting for:
My new $3 cover-up from Eco Thrift!
It still had the tags on it!
I bought the cute cover-up months ago, hung it in the closet and forgot about it. Then I was shopping for a big sun hat because when my friend Jim was in Hawaii last year he posted this photo that makes me SMILE every time I look at him:
Jim and his awesome hat are NOT in my suitcase.
I decided that if I was going to have a supremely wonderful Hawaiian vacation, it required an awesome hat like Jim’s. So I shopped in many places, including the Eco Thrift with no luck. Then one day I was at Morning Sun Herb Farm in Vacaville and I saw it.
It was all wrong. It was not the right color. I wanted beige or tan. But it spoke to me across the expanse of greenhouses, so I went and put it on. It fit like it was made for me. I was delighted with the hat and my delight only escalated when I returned home and realized it was a perfect match for my $3 cover-up!
Awesome hat!
I know what you’re thinking. HOW does she get THAT much awesome into one outfit?
Oh! Jeremy is packing, too. Here is his a 50 spf swim costume:
Lookin’ cool in his new shades.
And I have one more outfit you want to see. It was a Yule gift from Jeremy and I have not had a chance to wear it yet, so it’s going in the suitcase!
More purple…
Oh! Guess what else is in the suitcase!
BIG surprise, right?
Not to be out-done by his kitty:
Boscoe got right in there for some chewing and napping!
That’s all for now folks!
I promise you will see less of me in future posts. I spend far more time behind the camera than I do in front of it. But now when you are admiring my fabulous fotos of paradise, you’ll know without doubt that I look amazing behind my cameras shooting Hawai’i for my art and your entertainment.
Love the blog (and the pretty swimsuits!)
Awesome!!!
LOVE the post! Fabulous outfits, and yes, I LOVE the hat! Can’t wait to see all your photos!
Yay you!!!! If only we could come up with a way to get you excited about your upcoming trip!!
I really am trying my best to work up some enthusiasm, donnio. 🙂 Maybe once I get lei’d in Hawai’i?
