LIMAHULI

So many things to love about Hawaii but one of my favorites is that it's perfectly acceptable to go out and about in outfits like these! Sure I can do this in California but I guess I feel more comfortable wearing stuff like this in Hawaii because you see a lot of people around town wearing beach attire or swimsuits/wetsuits :)

This look was shot at Limahuli Garden & Preserve which is in Hanalei, on the island of Kauai (more will come on that later in my full Hawaii trip round up post!) It brought a special kind of happiness to me to partake in ecotourism in eco-friendly clothing. Keep reading for outfit details! ♥

The Bandeau & Shorts:

My tie-dye two piece set is by Indigo Apparel! They are an eco-friendly brand based in NY that is committed to only using sustainable fabrics like bamboo and organic cotton, using 100% non-toxic dyes, and hand dyeing and hand printing. Plus all their pieces are made in the USA.

I love the hues of pinks, blues, and purples, and how they blend with each other! Especially knowing that this was hand-dyed, it makes the pieces all the more special to me.

This set was a definite lifesaver in the Hawaii humidity!

The Accessories:

A quick rundown on the accessories—the sunglasses were a secondhand find from Crossroads Trading, the arm cuffs are from Soko and were handmade by artisans, my mini backpack was a vintage score from Vinted, and my sneakers from Inkkas were ethically made with authentic Peruvian textiles (plus they plant a tree for every purchase!)

 Have a happy weekend :)
