(Shoes: TJ Maxx, Shorts: XXI Forever, Shirt: Tommy Hilfiger (garage sale), Earrings: XXI Forever, I love them for the colors but I didn’t get a close up.)
As you all know, I am white. No, I am translucent. This past weekend I was swimming with one of my best friends for a couple of hours, I applied sunscreen twice and even used to waterproof/sweat-proof kind. My back and chest (hidden under this shirt) are burned so badly I can’t lie down or on anything. So sleeping has just been a freaking blast! Honestly if it weren’t for the heat that makes my hair ginormous or burn within a 5 minute period I’d love summer but since those two things happen, I hate it!
Kansas summers are miserable. You sweat, you feel nasty and you cannot (and I repeat, CANNOT) feel hot or chic during this weather we are having. I however I going to battle through this and I will find a way to look/feel cute. How do you all dress when the weather is 100+ and what have you learned about dressing in the summer heat?

Yikes! Getting burnt is the worst. I'm pretty pale too and I'm obsessed with applying sunscreen like every 20 minutes when I'm in the sun, haha 🙂 Love the coral and light blue – such a pretty blouse!

Love your outfit, but that's sad about your sunburn! Being burnt that bad is so so so miserable. I've been there. I used to live in Indiana, and this is my first summer in Boston. I must say it's quite refreshing to not experience the unbearable high temps and humidity that midwest summers bring! You should take a little vacay up north somewhere 🙂

You look adorable in this outfit! My husband is the same way, he burns easily so we always use SPF 75. It's so hard to dress and look cute in hot weather, but I always do light summer dresses or shorts and tank!

Sorry about blowing up your blog here, but: I totally feel for you. I'm in Nashville and it is supposed to get up to 111 (degrees. for realz) this week! So, I will be wearing a flowy dress, because pants or even shorts make me sweaty, and a sleeveless shirt approp for the office. And probably a sun hat and large sunglasses if I step outside.

oh no! sorry to hear that! i burn like a lobster, too. i have read that spraying vinegar on a burn really helps, but i have never tried it (seems stinky).

Well I think you look cute. I understand about the heat (and sunburn). I get sunburned just going outside for a few minutes. I really haven't been swimming in 4 years. Ugh. I am going on a cruise at the end of the year and will probably burn to a crisp!

Hi Alissa! I just found your blog through Melissa at 20 Going On 80 and I'm obsessed! My mother is from KS (Abilene) and I'm a big KU fan! The best thing for a bad burn is to take tylenol, spray bactine and apply aloe vera gel (the soothing kind with medicine in it). It's a lot of effort, but I swear by it! Hope you're feeling better!
