I bet you thought I was talking about my skin when I said summer white, didn’t you? Don’t worry, I can take the pale jokes, I’ve had them all of my life. As much as they say that “Pale is the new tan” when talking about preventing skin cancer, let’s be real, no one believes that. No matter how much you talk about how you are just trying to make sure you don’t get skin cancer, people will still think tan is better.
Sigh. Whatever. Don’t mind me and my SPF 100 under a wide-brimmed hat in the shade. I’ll just look stupid and protect my skin while you all go and burn it. Totally pretending I’m not secretly jealous you can get darker.

Haha girl you're a hoot. But I love the utility combined with the pretty white. Great look!!

I wish I was pale and pretty! (I really do believe pale is beautiful so no complaining for you!)
Amy Shaughnessy
Back in the day, it was better to be pale. So I'm going with that. I haven't really been out in the sun for a long time except 3 times in 5 years. Yup. Love this dress and vest together. Such a fab look!

I LOVE you LWD! White eyelet lace is summer perfection, and your bright bling is so pretty. Skin cancer is scary, so better safe than sorry. And even if you never had the worst case scenario, people who get super tan all summer have awful skin when they are older.

Love the eyelet. I have a navy one from Old Navy that I adore.

Haha…well the good thing about wearing white is that it makes skin look tan (even if you are pale). Very cute dress and I actually don't think you look that pale!

I prefer the term "fair-skinned", because it sounds pretty!

I can definitely relate to the pale girl jokes. I am fair skinned too. I really like the vest with your dress. I always forget that vests are a great summer layering piece. Heather

You are adorable! Love this dress and the vest is so cute! Haha, you crack me up with the pale skin talk. Self tanner? I have no idea, those things scare me. Plus I lather up the sunblock and sit on a beach chair that HAS A SHADE. So I'm right there with ya! 🙂
