neoprene + zippers.

i took a quick trip to kona on monday for work.
after my work was done, i stopped at the shopping center for lunch and a quick look-around. not much in terms of shopping...only a ross and jeans warehouse, but i did find this skirt which turned out to be quite awesome for its $10 price tag. the front is thick like neoprene, so it fits like a glove and keeps its shape,
and it doesn't ride up at the waist like i expected.

here's what i can tell you about kona:
1) the airport is old school (which i love), no fancy buildings or enclosed jetways. you walk right onto the tarmac and up a ramp.
2) the obvious...it's hot and voggy, but nice wide-open spaces.
3) they've gone green. the cashier asked me if i wanted to buy a bag. i said no, not thinking about what she meant. then she handed my items directly to me...to put in my own bag. ok, got it!
the good: they are going green
the bad: hard to keep track of your items. either one of the shirts i bought fell out of my bag, or she didn't give
it to me at all. kinda bummed.


driving along the main highway, this is what you see... 
my purchases stuffed in my own bag...#gogreen.
(gap pure tee; nine west heels; justfab hudson bag c/o)

Love this outfit! Don't you love laid back airport experiences! I went to Molokai last month, and it's so laid back over there. So small, as soon as you land you just feel like relaxation has set in!
