You can probably tell by my pasty white skin (thank goodness for Tan Towels!) that the sun and I have never been friends. I’ve never been tan, only red, after spending time in the sun. As I have gotten older, sun protection has become more and more important to me. My face moisturizer has sunscreen in it. If I know I am going to be outside for any length of time, I lather up. You can imagine my excitement when I found out about SUMMERSKIN. Their clothing allows you to protect your skin and stay stylish. The material blocks 98% of UV rays. Win, win! You can use the code Amy20 for a 20% off discount too!
Today the Blogger Nation girls and I are all styling looks from their collection, so be sure to check their blogs too. I picked this maxi dress (sleeves version here) and wrap. Dresses are a huge part of my summer wardrobe, so it was a no-brainer. While I am wearing the wrap as a scarf today, it has multiple styling options making it the perfect piece to pack when traveling. Speaking of traveling, I had a great time with my mom in Chicago this past weekend. She was kind enough to take me shopping for some maternity clothes, and we always have so much fun together. I had one of those moments where time seems to stop and you realize all the beauty in your life and reflect on it. I’m so thankful for my family and this growing babe! I cannot wait to share what I got with you in the months to come! We just made a quick trip (Friday – Sunday morning) and didn’t leave the Magnificent Mile. I hope to go back again one day and visit all the blogger babes I love who live in Chicago!

Love this maxi dress Amy! I really love styling maxi dresses for summer. How does that fabric breathe? It looks like a similar weight as jersey?
You look amazing! I love how you styled this dress. The belt, finge and bag totally change the feel! It’s so cute! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

What a really nice idea to get these kind of protection clothes, even though I heard that simple cotton is a really good protection too. You look gorgeous in this grey dress and your small bump is too cute!
Thank you so much for your last comment on my thoughts about plastic! It meant a lot to me to get to know your opinion on the topic!

This outfit is perfect! I love how you tied up the hem to show off your shoes–so creative! It sounds like you had a wonderful weekend with your mom. My mom and I are also very close and I miss being able to spend time with her.

Love this maxi – it is gorgeous on you!
Clothing with UV protection!? Amazing! I also avoid the sun at all costs or I usually slap on a ton of sunscreen which in turn causes me to break out. 🙁 🙁 Maybe hats and UV clothing is the way to go! So cool!
