There are two reasons why I'm proud of this look:
1. I'm wearing shorts
2. I'm wearing shorts without a tan
I wear skirts and dresses all the time, but for some reason whenever I wear shorts I feel self-conscious. Also, I use to be obsessed with being tan. In the past I wouldn't dare step out in shorts without a visit to the tanning beds first. However, in the last three years my priorities have become more about health than aesthetics. I take care of my skin and I'm trying to embrace paleness (although I love self-tanner and laying out with loads of sunscreen on) and ever since I started CrossFit I've learned to appreciate muscular legs. Now, I can wear shorts and feel confident that I've worked hard to be in shape.

Amazing outfit! Loving all those bright colours :)
I'm with you, Taylor -- I'm okay in skirts and dresses but for some reason shorts and I simply do not get along. I'm trying to embrace my muscular legs as well and these photos provide inspiration -- you look adorable!

You look so fabulous, Taylor! Love love LOVE those shorts!! I'm a dancer, so I've got the whole paleness and muscular leg thing too :) It's great to embrace it; toned legs are lovely, and look awesome in heels!
I think you look beautiful with your natural fair skin, Taylor. This summer I'm aiming to stay fair skinned, even though my skin naturally tends to tan like crazy fast, and I want to keep my skin healthy. I'm loving all the color and especially that Cambridge satchel!

Really amazing colors!
this outfit is great and would LOVE a pair of those shorts.
My mom always teases me about my muscular legs, but if you work for them you should be proud of them!

it's funny you said you feel self-conscious in shorts, b/c looking at the pics I said to myself "I want legs like THAT!!"
Shorts with no tan...story of my life. You work it thought. Great colours.
I'm trying to work up the nerve for shorts too - you look great.
Gorgeous!! I love how you mixed bright colors here. And you're working that glorious pale skin. :)
Love the shoes and bracelets!

Taylor, you look amazing! I love this look on you. And I love how you took a moment to embrace the beauty in (as you put it…) your "paleness". I am constantly telling my beautiful (but tan obsessed) girlfriends that they need to embody the natural glow of their pale skin… It's beautiful! Also, I'm w/. Colette… I immediately thought, "I want legs like THAT!" You're awesome Taylor. (and love love the bag!)
beautiful. love the color scheme of this outfit! <3 EverRubyGirl.blogspot.com
I LOVE these shorts! Are they new from H&M? I'm trying hard to embrace the pale too... I can't bring myself to try spray tanning and laying in a tanning bed freaks me out. You look great.
www.ChampagneInSlippers.blogspot.com
I feel the same way, thanks for the encouragement! I will wear shorts today, too!
Adore the combination of polka dots, royal blue and the mustard yellow. I've been told we're never as pale as we think we are, you look lovely. Muscular legs are beautiful! :)
LOVE this look...the shorts look great with those heels :)

I'm kind of obsessed with high waisted tie shorts. I have a few pairs already and plan on getting more. They're so comfy!

This outfit is SO gorgeous! I love everything about it! And love that you are embracing paleness... I saw another blogger refer to her paleness as being 'lily white' which I just loved! Though you are really not all that pale, m'dear! Loving the color combo here so much!
Taylor,
I think we have the same body! I work out hard to tone my muscular legs, and usually feel more aware of my legs in shorts then in skirts. You look amazing and help reinforce my belief that toned and trim is perfect! Keep up the stylish outfits and fitness..you rock!
Kudos to you for embracing the pale! I've been fair-skinned and freckly all my life and didn't take care of my skin when I was a child/teenager, wanting to be tan too. The removal of several suspicious and ultimately, abnormal, moles later (and I'm only 21!), and I rock the ghost pale year round.
Love love love the bag! I've been looking for something along that shape. Love the outfit as well!

obsessed with those shorts!!! so so so cute!
Thank you for making muscular legs cool again, oh and paleness as well. (just say no to tanning!) I've always been self-conscious about my super musclely legs, but have also come to appreciate all they can do! You have to have muscle to be active and I love being able to keep up with my athletic husband (side note...he wouldn't trade them either, win/win). :)
Adorable shorts, looks great with the handbag :)
I love that you have embraced your natural color. It's such a refreshing thing to see. Love that polka dot top!
Love the mix of all these bright colors mixed with the polka dots! So cute!

I love how you were able to make all of these bright colors work together to create a seriously show stopping look! I've never been very comfortable or confident while wearing shorts either but I'm planning on easing into them this summer.
Thanks ladies!!
Love this outfit. Such a mix of beautiful, bright summer colors! And I love all the jewelry too!

Ooh la la!! You look simply gorgeous, Taylor! Loving those shoes very MUCH!
Happy weekend! xo

You are adorable! Agreed -- I feel fine in skirts but for some reason I am less confident in shorts. I love your commentary though! I'll have to try out some shorts soon. :)
I love all the bright colors in your outfit. Especially the satchel. I want to get the bright pink one. Great polka dot blouse btw. :)
Nice Outfit and nice Blog :) <3

I've been seeing these Cambridge Satchels everywhere now! I'm in love with the colors of your shorts, shoes, and bag all together. (I don't think you're that pale at all! Glad you're embracing what you've got though).
I feel the same way about shorts, and a LOT of my skirts are shorter. Weird. You look great here. I love all the colors, even though I am filled with jealousy at you having the yellow cambridge satchel I covet.
I love all the outfits you post! They're all so cute!

my shorts :)) great like always :)
kiss :)
I just came across your blog. I love your style it's fun :)
wooow!!
lovely your outfit
I am so jealous of anyone with one of those satchels! especially the yellow one, I love it!
also, I made one of those healthy smoothies the other day. it was amazing! bananas are really expensive in australia at the moment because the floods in january destroyed most of the banana crops, so I had some saved up in the freezer! I'm excited to use more of them in smoothies now...
I feel you!! I have very muscular legs from dancing my whole life and feel uncomfortable in shorts. this is so inspiring taylor- you look great! i love the bright color.
this outfit is so much fun - it's like pops of color everywhere!!! and the polka dot top gives it a very playful feel. i love everything about it!
i hear you about embracing paleness. i am very very fair-skinned and to this day, still feel like i need to self-tan in the summer so i don't look so ghostly.
Love this outfit !
You wear the most amazing colors!! Such an inspiration. ;)
