Beach Day Ruffles

How many ruffles are too many? My little 1 year old niece has these awesome leggings with a dozen rows of ruffles on her butt and they look so adorable on her. That is not the look I am going for today! Someone please let me know if this outfit looks like that. I'm going for "preppy skirt goes to the seashore with a SPF top". I want my legs to get tan and my top half to stay safely untouched by the sun! I will never be wearing this skirt anywhere but the beach or in my backyard, but living in Southern California that is a lot of the time out here.
I'm wearing the Pacesetter Skirt Tall in black and the Sun Runner Hoody pullover from last summer.
