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!

Clothing with SPF is seriously so cool- I love how cute + cozy this dress is! And you know self-tanners are the key to my heart! I just burn in the sun, too- oh, and then turn into a human freckle. 😉

Packing a scarf for travel is a great idea. You have such amazing style! I love Chicago, too! This post makes me miss my mom; I commend you for taking a second to appreciate special moments.

I’m the same, I don’t tan I just burn, so I’m always lathered in sunscreen. Love this dress and that it has spf in it!! Maternity shopping is so fun because you get to buy all new stuff!

Such a great simple look, down to every detail! I often tie the knot at the bottom on a long tee-dress, such a fun detail!

I really need to check out SUMMERSKIN. I’m not one to tan either and living in LA I feel like I’m always getting hit with harmful rays. It would be great to wear something that helps protect me! You styled this outfit so gorgeously Amy!
You look gorgeous in that dress! I have never heard of a clothing material that blocks UV rays but that is pretty cool! x
