With more than 100 islands, Tahiti’s rugged mountain peaks, coral reefs, white sand and palm-fringed beaches evoke visions of the ultimate island paradise. But it’s the many hues of blues that had me saying ooo and aaah. So it’s no wonder why I chose this outfit to wear around town. It was perfect for the hot, tropical weather and blended with the beautiful blue lagoons of Bora Bora.
