I'm down south, so it's going to be baking today. I'm not wearing tights, which is perfectly acceptable in our office.
Now I'm as pale as they come, especially my legs. I just don't tan at all.
I have had TWO comments already today from people - "blimey, you're brave, getting your legs out when they are so white!" Both from colleagues who were wearing dresses with no tights themselves, so it wasn't even a subtle dig at that. One then started a conversation about whether or not I'd considered fake tan.
Why is pale skin seen as so bad? Why shouldn't pale people wear skirts and dresses the same? Why should we go through all the faff and cost of fake tanning?
First world problem, I know, but it's really irritated me not already grumpy with the heat and crappy air conditioning
