Burn Baby Burn....

I had grand plans (in my head) to write about shopping today. And of course to talk about my recent purchases, because that's kind of my thing.

Instead, I am feeling the flames of my own stupidity this morning. Quite literally.

I rarely tan my back and I decided that, yesterday, I would make a concerted effort to get some sun on my back.

I put sunscreen on the most vital parts that I normally have trouble with - face, chest, arms... and then I laid on my stomach for 6 hours with a friend.

Feel free to mock me for my stupidity. I'm a dumb-dumb!

I would really like to show you my thighs so you can laugh as I get to stuff them into jeans for work today... feeeeeel the burn.

I am normally a friend to sunscreen but the unseasonably cool temps had me convinced that I wasn't getting much sun. Wrong-o, friends.

So I did try on a few of my recent purchases last night... but the pictures are beyond terrible because I was in so much (whiny) pain that I wasn't much for the changing clothes or the photo-taking.

New purple Express dress.... which I love, except the arm-holes are rather ginormous. I have a feeling I will always feel weird about these arm-holes.


I got the most amazing gray sweater at LOFT for only $15 last week. Seriously amazing. And seriously scorching with a sunburn.

And then I did a TON of damage at the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual sale online. (It starts in stores on Tuesday bright and early!) (Despite the fact that I just spent around $300 in work clothes and swimsuits at VS.... I somehow feel like I'm going to be at the mall early. Even though I don't need anything.)

Despite the horror of this picture, I will be wearing this top all fall (I got both colors) with leggings. It's long enough that it covers my butt. SCORE.

It does have a ruching-effect on the sleeve which is a little bit strange... but eh, I'll live with it. Or cut the elastic off of it.

(Also, hey Sarah, nice bra!)

And then I bought myself another bathrobe. Because the 3 I have just aren't cutting it and I like options.

So, that was possibly the worst post ever (feel free to correct me if you have another worst favorite) but I have an excuse: my brain is fried. Almost as much as my thighs.

I hope you all remembered your SPF this weekend (on both sides, not just the front!).

Happy Monday!
