I am so glad you could go. A close family member was stationed in Hawaii and cried when they had to leave. It's a beautiful, special place. <div> </div><div>As for the women wearing above-knee dresses... I've seen ruffle skirt mid thighs dresses for sale here in Colorado. I'm not sure I'm seeing many women actually wear them yet, though it is dead of winter here. Will keep my eyes peeled this spring and summer and see what middle-aged women end up wearing.</div><div> </div><div>Mahalo for sharing <3 </div> ChristelJ on "Aloha!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aloha-1#post-2348999 Sun, 07 Jan 2024 15:57:22 +0000 ChristelJ 2348999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for the report and happy pictures. Love your new colorful tops! Glad to hear the allergies are improving. MsMaven on "Aloha!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aloha-1#post-2348958 Sun, 07 Jan 2024 03:42:11 +0000 MsMaven 2348958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had found a long sleeved T shirt in a print with similar colors, but only in an xs and an xxl. The sales clerk sadly told me that there were no more left. She started pulling out items in colors I don't like, but I went around the corner and found this stacked on the end of a shelf. Luckily there was an M, but it seemed small. She insisted I try it on and zip it up, and it fit just right.  Carla you are right. These are my best colors, and to find them all together was great. Today it's cold, rainy, dark and dull, but I've got my sweatshirt hanging where I can see it.  We'll have a long visit with family in April or May. Mr. M says, why don't we have them all come here next year? Maybe when they are a lot older--I don't think the g-gkids, age almost 2-14, are ready to be away from home at the holiday season.  Indigoprint on "Aloha!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aloha-1#post-2348957 Sun, 07 Jan 2024 03:37:26 +0000 Indigoprint 2348957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for the update on Lahaina.

I’m learning so much from you as you analyze your wardrobes. Sorry I haven't commented much yet. Haven't gotten around to thinking about my own plans yet.  We decided to go to Maui this year instead of Chicago. I had watched the weather report for at least a week before: always 80s and sunny until a couple of days before we left. At the last minute, forecast changed to clouds, off and on rain, and low to mid-70s. Most visitors didn’t mind cooler weather at all, especially if it was snowing where they came from. I brought 3 sleeveless tops and a skirt I didn’t wear. I wore my long sleeved tops more days than planned. The joy of aging! Lots of complaints about something in the air causing allergies. I was affected. I pretty much lost my voice by the end of the week-long trip, but it didn’t stop me from long walks up and down hills and strolls on the beach.   Btw, Lahaina is still closed and temporary walls along the highway prevented us from seeing much of the damage. In certain sections we could see into burn areas and the devastation there. So glad we didn’t cancel our trip—we did our best to add to the tourist economy.  We did visit Kaanapali Beach and what 58 1/2 years ago was the Kaanapali Hotel, where we spent the first few days of our honeymoon. Obviously, much has changed.  Maui is still a beautiful place with the friendliest people. One puzzling fashion note: grown women wearing above the knee, full, tiered or ruffled little girl dresses? Yes, the kind my sisters and I wore as little girls. Must be a new look to most people.  I bought 2 short sleeved Hawaii t shirts, and Mr. M and I both bought half-zip long-sleeved tops. Best day was when we went to Wailea—allergies abated and in checking out the Tommy Bahama store, I found a perfect sweatshirt (their name, not mine) for me.  Lightweight knit, fun pattern.  Back home and people still complaining of allergies. Common problem in Hawaii and here: mold. Right now it’s the only allergen listed here. I’m getting better. I don’t step outside the door without my N95 mask on. #1 My welcoming lei. Only wore it first day, but housekeeper arranged it for me. It lasted the week.  #2 in our tops bought at hotel. Even Mr. M got a bit chilly at times.  #3 distorted photo of me on walk on our last day. #4 Last lunch at the Beach Hut.   #5 & 6 And the Tommy Bahama cardigan/sweatshirt.
