Vamp

 

 

I have always had fair skin.

I remember the glorious days of middle school dreaming of tan, golden legs. (no doubt in Spanish class when I should have been studying)

I have been through spray tanner, tan towels, tanning beds and more. All in pursuit of that Michael Kors model tan.

However...

Over the past several years I have come to love my fair skin.  I finally embrace it.

My skin is healthier and happier. I think I started to love light skin when I noticed celebrities throwing away the fake tanner. All of a sudden celebrities were rocking the light skin. Amanda Seyfried, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone and so many others look so beautiful with fair skin.

 

This past Friday I wanted to enhance my light skin with an all black outfit and red lips.

I felt like a vampire and I loved it.

The cool kind of Vampire from True Blood though, not the sparkly Twilight kind. ;)

 

I wore this black blouse tucked into my black quilted skirt with my snakeskin loafers.

Black on black has always been a personal fave.

(Also, I am obsessed with these androgynous pointy toe loafers)

 

Sometimes our flaws become our favorite features. They are what make us unique.

Embrace them.
