I was one of the very few people in a hat, sunglasses and dress (to cover me when I wasn't swimming). It was hard not to feel like the odd one out, but I know it will pay off in years to come when I remain healthy :) xxxElyse (Give Me Bows)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04577310201048835639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-12584940114924977812012-01-14T06:58:50.194+11:002012-01-14T06:58:50.194+11:00Your sun smart outfit rocks!

As you know from photos, i tick all the boxes for being most prone to sun cancer - pale, light blue eyes, red in my hair, freckle easily. My parents and siblings used to tease me about 'sunbaking' in the shade... but im so glad i did lol.

Even if it's just light reflected from a white wall and I'm actually under shelter. It's crazy.KittyExpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906270563817314872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-25196660857150173182012-01-13T15:43:41.440+11:002012-01-13T15:43:41.440+11:00This is such an important post.

I've been bad in the past about allowing myself to get sunburnt, but I'm now a lot more cautious.Solitary Diner (Also Known as The Frugalish Physician)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01239189582752445700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-25627708523148322462012-01-13T15:19:46.905+11:002012-01-13T15:19:46.905+11:00Great post Carly, I'm so passionate about sun ...Great post Carly, I'm so passionate about sun safety, and it makes me so angry when I see/hear about girls who actively sunbake or use sunbeds. It's so so so dangerous and skin cancer is so easy to get. I was one of those people who thought 'it'll never happen to me' (not that I ever sunbaked or used sunbeds), and it did, I had a melanoma exised from my back 2 years ago and had a skin graft. I've now got a huge ugly scar on my shoulderblade to constantly remind me.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655728921826215544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-48165311397743144752012-01-13T12:38:13.013+11:002012-01-13T12:38:13.013+11:00I think your sunsmart outfits look fab!

These days I try to protect my skin as best I can. I wear sunscreen almost every day, and I try to cover myself up. Here's hoping that all the sun exposure from my teen years hasn't done any harm yet.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395668352640656250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-16061575310126152922012-01-13T10:25:54.609+11:002012-01-13T10:25:54.609+11:00I'm 26 with pale freckled skin and I've al...I'm 26 with pale freckled skin and I've almost always avoided the sun. The few time I've got a bad sunburn I will always remember because they have left me with scars. There is a particular patch of freckles on my right foot in the shape of the gap in my sandals...that I was wearing when I got sunburnt at age 8. Sadly I have a similar story from a sunburnt shoulder in my 20s, and an awful lot of incident exposure freckles on my arms and face. But those freckles on my foot will give me something to show my kids to teach them about the lasting effects of sun exposure.Miss Directionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535697821513502578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-58313376110031733172012-01-13T09:51:42.042+11:002012-01-13T09:51:42.042+11:00Fantastic post, Carly - I hope it has a positive i...Fantastic post, Carly - I hope it has a positive impact. I'm always slightly horrified by the sight of people just lying on the beach, baking themselves.

Always in the shade + sunscreen for me - I hate the feeling of strong sun on my skin, almost as much as I hate when people say "You're from Qld and you're soooo white".<br /><br />You're beach outfit looks fab - I think you deserved a wolf whistle or two ;)Polly6034https://www.blogger.com/profile/06459621183823625078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-54159739165359309472012-01-13T09:22:30.373+11:002012-01-13T09:22:30.373+11:00Thanks for this post.

Even though I didn't burn very often I still have many spots and dread the day that I find I have skin cancer. I still see so many people here at the beach not listening or else they wouldn't be so very brown. I thought you look so good in that outfit that I pinned you on my pinterest clothing board. Already had one repin.
