How To Get #Sunkissed Instantly + {a Giveaway}

Disclosure: The tights I'm wearing in this post were provided courtesy of Hanes, and as always all opinions are my own. Plus, there's also a giveaway down there at the bottom, which means you can win free tights, too!

Summertime is definitely my favorite time of year, but it's during this time that I become acutely aware that being pale isn't really all it's cracked up to be.  (The one and only time it actually is?  When you get a brightly colored tattoo, because that shit shows up!) Another blessing of the pasty-skinned is that we burn easily in the sun, so getting a real tan (along with the possibility of skin cancer) is out of the question.  Usually around this time of year I begin -very unsuccessfully- to fake tan my legs.  You'd think that after literally years of practice I'd be able to pull it off, just one time, without streaks or missed spots, but alas, no dice.  My lack of ability to evenly coat my legs with lotion is pretty astounding.

But I have found a foolproof solution!  Hanes recently approached me to try some of their new Silk Reflections Sunkissed tights, and I jumped at the chance.  I mean, an instant tan?  Sign me up!  I have to admit that before I received them, I was a little skeptical.  I kept having visions of those odd C3PO super shimmery gold tights dancers wear, and was imagining having to leave the house looking like a less cool this.  But when I put them on, I was happily surprised to find that my legs still looked totally natural; just a lot more tan (and even a little airbrushed, too).

I chose nude bronze, medium bronze, and tan bronze.  Since I'm pretty pale to begin with, I felt most comfortable wearing the lightest shade, nude bronze, because it's not a drastic difference in skin tone between my legs and the rest of my body.  But I'm pretty sure I could pull off any of the three shades with convincing believability.

Now Hanes wants to give you a chance to try some of these tights, too!  They are super generous.  Really.  Look at all the great goodies they sent me along with my tights.
