I’ve been having an internal struggle on whether or not to utilize the free skin cancer tanning that my apartment complex offers. I know it is bad for me (and I don’t want leathery skin), which is why I’ve only used it 4 times in the 3 years I’ve lived there. But – I AM SO PALE. It almost hurts. (So overdramatic, I know). I just keep telling myself that in 2-3 months I will be beautifully bronzed (hopefully).
On another note, today is Day 7 of my 30×30 Challenge. You all should go check out Lauren’s blog (HERE) because she & I are doing this challenge together! I promise I will be better about daily posts in the next 23 days. I’ve been a blog slacker lately, I admit it. But I have been a bit under the weather. I took Nyquil the other night and slept for 10 HOURS. So awesome.
Lastly – I picked up these super cute gold rings while shopping in Georgetown last week. Unfortunately the same styles are not online, but you can shop the boutique HERE.
Happy Friday pretty people!

You look adorable! I love those shoes. (And I’m probably even paler than you!)
Haha, I feel the same way!!! I hate being super pale and always get the urge to fake bake around this time of year. I’ve been using Jergens Natural Glow lotion and it’s definitely helping – so maybe give that a try! I’m hoping it will hold me over until I can get some real sun! Also, I love this outfit – I adore how you paired the super feminine lace peplum top with camo. Fabulous!!!! xoxox Danielle @ For the Love of Leopard
I may have to go snag some jergens just for a little glow! I’m going to start running outside again ASAP so I can get sun on my face!
Hahah I know what you mean about feeling so pale! My skin is probably about the same tone as yours, but I’m not going near a tanning bed. But when I’m feeling bummed about not being tanned, I try to think about the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry who always rock the dark hair/pale skin/red lip look and make it look AWESOME!! Haha.
For later into spring and summer though, I think I’m going to focus more on the fake tan lotions so I appear tan (I live in Oregon so it would still be awkward and out of place to look so tan right now ha). One of my favorite bloggers at becauseofjackie.com recently posted about Tanwise tanner that’s pretty cheap and worked well and I’m really excited to try it! Thought you might be interested too. 🙂 Love this outfit, btw! I need to get myself a pair of camo pants!

Girl, I feel you. I’m so tired of trying to win the tanning struggle so I’ve decided to go for sunless tanner instead. I’m trying St. Tropez right now. We’ll see how it goes! 🙂
