Sunkissed Summer

I have a terrible, terrible confession: I was once a tanoholic. Not only was I a habitual tanning bed user and a professional when it came to laying out by the pool, but I also spent long hours in the sun working as a beer cart girl. After suffering countless sunburns that left me looking like a lobster, I’m happy to say that I’ve finally got my head on straight when it comes to the importance of protecting my precious skin. I’m now a slave to the sunscreen bottle and almost always wear a hat when I know I’m going to be outside for long periods of time. When Hanes reached out to me and offered to send me their Silk Reflections Sunkissed Ultra Sheer Tights I thought it would be the perfect (and safe) opportunity for my gams to get some color!

Outfits that take next to nothing to put together are my specialty. A simple dress from Expressnude heels, my go-to Kate Spade crossbody bag and my new tights and I was set for a First Friday pop up event in downtown Kansas City. I love that the hosiery is barely there as far as looks go and it gives me a little hint of color!

    You go hottie. You go. They really do look natural and totally draw attention to those killer legs.

  8. This is a great way to have tanner legs in an instant! I tried buying some of that self tanner stuff, but couldn’t get over the way it smelled so this is a smart option (as long as it isn’t too hot:) Such a great time hanging out with you at First Fridays:)
