I'm very pale and it didn't wash me out at all. I think you'd be fine, but if you order it, you may want to order more than 1 size to be sure.

ETA: btw - it is white, but the stripes are much more colorful IRL than online.

Do you think there's something that could be worn over it to make it "work-like". Also, is it see-through?? Does it need a slip?

Yeah, if I had kept it, I would have thrown a cardi over it and worn it to work. Something like this (which I also have) would work:

professor cardigan

As far as it being see - thru, I didn't notice that..I think it would be fine as long as you wear some nude colored underwear. I suppose a slip would put you on the safe side.

I'm medium-skinned and have yellow undertones. I can get much darker as the summer progresses and never burn. I tried it on in the fitting room and while Anthro lighting at the store I was at is actually good for trying on clothes, the colors were just too pale for me. The stripes were definitely on the pastel-ish side but more colorful than the pic, only because they were so small. I think on a fairer-skinned blonde or brunette (i.e: shopchicago33, scarlett), it would be nothing short of adorable.

It's a problem I have with about 75% of what Anthro offers...the pastel tones wash me out or just don't do anything for my skintone. I swear, if that dress came in an earthier or brighter color, I would've bought it and worn it all summer.

HTH!
