Postcards from Hawaii...part two: Precious Few Preppies

I espy...a touch of madras on the "bike scene" of Wakiki's avenues...
And oh, on my Sperry Topsider flipflops as well...

A very rare sighting of pink n'green in Hawaii...

One Preppy-ish gal translating the sundress w mango-hue w floral print look

Another Preppyish tourist spotted checking out pearls...but of course

Aloha once again from Hawaii!

In stark contrast from our South Carolina Lowcountry Islands where Preppy-spotting is just an all too easy given, out here on the island of O'ahu...there are very few visible Preppies...

So few in fact that I've been here a week and the photos above are what-all I've been able to snap concerning anything Preppy. Maybe it's because it's off-season out here, maybe it's because they're on other islands within this chain or maybe it's because Hawaii has never really been known as a Preppy vacation-mecca. Preppies flock to islands off the coast of New England, the Southern coastline running from Virginia to Georgia's Golden Isles and of course a few spots wit in the Caribbean but no, Hawaii's not a super-duper Preppy Vaca-spot. At least not that I've heard of and now have seen-of...

Nonetheless, it's been a fun time out here despite feeling like a madras-fish out of water ;)

    More of that around Hawaii than true Preppies it seems...
