Hawaii

I’ve been to Hawaii twice. The first time was in 2007 when I won a trip there at my company’s Christmas party. I was shocked. I’d never won anything before, much less a luxurious vacation. I was single at the time and really would have liked to take a boyfriend. But I took my sister. It was a week long trip and we had fun.

the second trip I was in a relationship, but it was a very toxic one. I had planned an amazing 9 day trip for us, on 3 different islands. He said he’d only go if I agreed to move out when we returned. I didn’t have much of a choice, so I agreed. It was still a pretty good trip, but the end of it was tinged with sadness.

I loved Hawaii and would be very happy to go back there. It is quite far from NYC though. this dress has Hawaii printed all over it. At first it was too big on me, but my sewing friend altered it for me. I found it at beacons closet and it’s a great vintage piece! Happy to have it and remember the (good) memories of Hawaii.
