Tanlines

How to wear off the shoulder dressesWe’ve officially entered that time of year when I have no choice but to allow my tanlines to be an accessory all on their own. I swear I’m actually really on top of my sun protection usually but I just pick up colour really easily and live a pretty outdoor life, so inevitably, I start to pick up tanlines right off the bat and they only get darker as the summer wears on. Personally, I actually love the look of tanlines – to me, they’re a sign of summer and one I miss when the winter rolls around, so for now, I wear them proudly with a breezy off the shoulder dress, simple updo’s and my favourite Swarovski jewels to highlight sunkissed skin.

Rather than throwing on layers, I instead focus my style efforts on some well-chosen baubles to bring everything together. These Attract Light Round earrings are the perfect pieces to go with the off-the-shoulder trend that’s still going super strong, and of course, as evidenced by this post and this post, I can’t stop wearing my beloved Vittore rings. Love taking my usual size and stacking them on different fingers to make midi rings! The Creativity bangle has become a perennial favourite, going from a more glam spring look to the perfect hint of sparkle in the summer.

Happy Wednesday lovelies!

    I’d been a swimmer all my life. I had about an eight year hiatus and was running and biking instead. An injury sidelined me from everything but swimming, so I got back in the pool. When my husband and I got married, I had a big X across my back. At first it really bothered me and I tried to cover it with spray tan, but eventually I got over it. I was proud of my beautiful swimmer shoulders and my strength. Now, I wear my tan lines as a badge of pride and I have been swimming daily every since.

      I love this for so many reasons. I was a competitive swimmer all my life too and recently, a back injury got me back in the pool quite frequently – that’s where so many of my (varying) tan lines are coming from since I’ve been able to take the swims outdoors! I’m sure you don’t need it but can’t wait to do some swim workout posts soon – let me know if you have any tips/recos! xoxo
