Special Aloha Friday post! Last week our Tiki Collective sister, Mel brought over some of her favorite vintage Hawaiian dresses. We sipped on cocktails, listened to Blue Hawaii and took a look through her ever-growing collection.

If you’re wondering how she was able to snag these amazing dresses, we can tell you that it was not by a quick search on Etsy. Most were found during her weekly trips to Savers and thrift shops like Abbots in Felton. There is nothing she loves more than to rummage through racks and racks until she finds that hidden gem.

Her current collection is filled with bright pinks, purples, and blues that all fit for any Tuesday night out, Tiki themed brunch, and of course Aloha Friday. And since she is always on the hunt, you can expect to see a lot more of her collection on future posts.
