As you can imagine by seeing my skin tone, I burn easily. Normally summer means an entire season of me getting burned by driving a whole 10 minutes in the car and general misery. Not this summer. I have successfully avoided getting any sunburns. At all, even at a water park. That is until I went to my first professional baseball game. A) I didn’t realize baseball took an entire freaking afternoon to play B) I didn’t realize that the seats would somehow managed to all turn into gigantic reflectors ala George Hamilton style tanning.
Thankfully I covered myself in sunscreen enough that only one part of my body got burned. My legs. Actually, my thighs to my kneecaps. The one area that really requires constant movement and stretching of skin. I walked around dawdled around for 2 days after this burn. I figured it was appropriate to pair neon shorts since I was already getting comments about how bright I was. Aren’t people just swell? Oh thanks! I had NO idea my skin was super red in just 2 spots! Definitely doesn’t hurt at all.

Those shorts are just so darn cute! (And I have no idea why people feel the need to point out the obvious. Do they expect you to be surprised to learn you got burnt?!)

I love the lace shorts! I can relate to the sunburn problem, I usually put on 50 or 70 & sometimes I still get a little red…fair skin

I'm always impressed by peoples wonderful observational skills, pointing out things to you which you are quite well aware of, like they are doing you some sort of favor.
Sorry about the burns though, it's never pleasant, and yes, even I have gotten a little sunburn this summer!
Loving those lace shorts too, gorgeous.

Oh noooo, I can get sunburnt on a short car ride too so I feel your pain. I actually left a baseball game early a couple of weeks ago because we were in the sun for too long. Those shorts are super adorable, I love the subtle neon.

Such cute shorts! I don't burn easily, except for some reason the tops of my thighs! And whenever people point things out that are so super obvious I just want to scream at them. Instead, I generally go with a super sarcastic "Hmm I had no idea"

Oh noes! I feel your pain. I burn very easly too, but this year only got one mild burn once when I the sun started shining unexpectedly when we were out to the town. I hope it cures well 🙂
Love the outfit by the way. Don't want to know how careful you have to get dressed with those burns though 🙁 xo

Ooh girl, luckily I don't burn too often because of my skin (thanks Dad) but I have been a dummy and gotten myself very badly sunburned a few times. It was totally miserable! So I feel you! A baseball game seems like prime sunburn time like you said, but I hope at least you had a blast! I went to a minor league game a few weeks ago, they make for the best dates 🙂
Love these shorts! And at this point, I want to see a remix post with those shoes! Very versatile.
perfectly priya

You still look super cute! I totally get what you mean about the sunburn. I'm the same way, but I always manage them on my shoulders or back. SO painful!

So sorry to hear about the bad burn! On the bright side, this outfit is adorable and your hair is absolutely perfect. I love the shoes too; I have to agree with the comment above that they must be incredibly versatile! I've done a pretty good job of avoiding them too, but my nose has been perpetually burned and red this entire summer – not fun.

I burn easily too 🙁 Especially since I don't go outside anymore…haha. If I spend a couple hours outside (even with sunscreen) I end up a little red. But I love your shorts!!

Sunburns are definitely no fun, and it's so annoying when people make comments about it! Anyway, you look lovely in this outfit! I wouldn't think to pair lavender with lime and gray, but it's so pretty!
