There are hazards with being as white, pale, fair, alabaster, ivory as I am. One of those hazards is wearing white. Why is this a hazard? Because when you wear a top that has white in it with a white blazer, your camera is going to have a heck of a time trying to figure out which white on white on white ivory to expose for. In other words the camera told me, “Get a spray tan so you don’t look like a washed out body with some hair at the top.” Cool camera, I get the hint. I’ll get a spray tan.
Blazer: H&M sold out online(similar)
Top: Older (similar)(similar in dot)
Jeans: C/O Aeropostale (exact)
Lip Color: C/O Laura Geller in Purple Currant (exact)
One of the other hazards is that I basically hermit in the summer. Until 7pm when the sun starts to be less intense. I will burn sooo fast even while driving in the car that tinted windows are a requirement for a car I drive. Andrew takes these kinds of issues very seriously. Side note: he is a ginger yet he can tan. How is that even fair? So in the summer he is always reminding me to put on sunscreen. Oh and he kindly points out the camera settings probably need to be changed due to the completely white image that is me in white.

That jacket is so perfect, isn't it? It works on so many outfits, including this very cute one! As far as you being ivory? I am not too, didn't use to be, but I stopped quite a while ago because I didn't want my skin to be all leathery. *snicker* <3

Wow, that's no fun when you can burn that easily, I'm happy that Andrew reminds you to put on sunscreen every time! I must admit that I'm in love with your look! I love the white blazer on you 🙂

This is such a pretty outfit! I feel ya with being pale. I'm trying to embrace it, but I'm also still seriously considering a spray tan.

Hey–I'm a super pale girl and I happen to be wearing white today! I know the problem–I take a lot of care when I'm outdoors to slather on the sunscreen because I don't like a burn! Of course, my husband just gets gradually browner and browner the longer he's in the sun…

Come hang out with me. You'll look positively bronze!

Girlfriend, I burn like crazy too! My friends think I'm crazy for obsessing over sunscreen now (I never used to and would get so insanley red it's scary). I would KILL for your ivory skin 😉

I'd say "whatever camera" and rock your skin the way that it is, it's gorgeous!

You say you had a problem exposing these shots? Well then how do they look so amazing? Anytime it's even slightly overcast I can't get the exposure right for the life of me, especially if I am wearing white and they always look like crap. Come take my photos please.

I would totally wear a version of this look for a night out! chic!

That sparkly top is so fun! Crazy that you burn just from being in the car. I don't burn as easily as you but I like to use SPF 50. 🙂

I've had the same issue many a time! These pics are gorgeous though… so you must've gotten that camera to work somehow. 😉 I love your porcelain skin – pale girls unite!!
Ali Hval
Dude… I actually avoid wearing white when I take outfit pictures for this exact same reason. My camera also likes to turn me pink and then wash out the white. LIKE ALL RIGHT CAMERA I GET IT I NEED A TAN.
But the fact that you got these pictures to turn out floors me. You rock, ladeh.
Rachel Lynne
I love this outfit… the sparkly top and metallic shoes?! YES! Also, girl, I feel the same way. And somehow all of my friends are already tan? What the heck?! But I load on sunscreen like it is nobody's business.

I'm "really tan" right now because of getting burnt on vacation last month. But for the record, I'm still the palest person in most settings. And I live in a pretty pale area of the country! I've said it before, but you look great! Skip the spray tan!

You look so cute and I LOVE that top. Yay for anything that sparkles and shines…xo!

This winter has been long for me and I've been sitting outside almost everyday to try and get a tan. You look beautiful and your camera did a great job capturing these beautiful photos. That sequins top is with the silver shoes is just darling!

ugh, how cute are you though. ivory or not, you look the most demure with your top off your shoulder like that, and i love the jeans and heels combo. i really have a hard time wearing white anyway, so my camera would probably just make me a big, over-exposed figure with shoes.

Not only are you super stylish but you manage to make me laugh, almost always. Love the asymmetric sequined top and metallic pumps.
And I am with you about being pale. And I am a brunette. It is worse if you have dark hair like me yet your skin is white. I could go to a beach vacation 2 weeks or longer and you will barely notice cause it takes forever for me to tan, also. I burn easily.
Hope your Monday started off the new week right. Happy June!!

You look beautiful, and you don't need a spray tan! Loving the blazer with jeans look. :))

I love this look. I feel your pain. I just pink and it depends on how pink I get.

I just never wear white because it somehow makes me look even more pale (even with a spray tan)!
tastefulstyle
As a fellow pasty princess, I can relate to this post quite well! I used to be afraid to wear white and pastels for fear that they would blend into my skin. I think you look completely gorgeous in this outfit–that top is so pretty, and the blazer adds the perfectly polished finish. Where did you get those fabulous shoes??
Emmett Katherine
this is a cute outfit, love how the shoes tie in with the sparkles on the shirt 🙂 I think white looks really nice on you!

I love this look, even if your camera doesn't. Obviously the camera has issues 🙂 I am totally pale too. I haven't seen the sun in quite some time. Frighteningly white legs are totally in, right? Also, your hair like this? Love it!! Messy curls are fab!

Darrrrling, you are looking super gorgeous (as usual lately). White is a great color for you…ignore that silly camera, but I totally get you on the settings!
Love the sparkle top. So fresh and pretty with a white blazer!

The word "dazzling" came to mind when looking at these pictures. Your skin is gorgeous, doll! My mom has really fair skin as well. I think all skin is lovely as long as the person wearing it is a sweetie lol.
And tell that camera to STFU. With love, of course 😉
PS. I LOVE YOUR TOP AND YOUR HEELS!

I absolutely LOVE this top + blazer combination. You look stunning in white!! Also, I totally feel your pain about not being able to wear certain colors…I felt this way about a tan colored top the other day that revealed I am not at all tan and can't certainly pull off wearing such top.
