Outfit: Sun Protection You Wear

Coolibar clothing line's main purpose is near and dear to my heart, sun protection. 

Sun protection is not something I thought too much about growing up. Like most people I put on sunscreen if I was swimming but I liked to lay out (a lot) and also liked to use tanning beds. Those days are WAY behind me now. I know the risks and I am want my kids to grow up knowing how to stay safe in the sun. Lately, sun protection is part of mine (and my families) daily routine. 

Here is a bit about Coolibar:
"Regular summer clothing provides very little sun protection. 
Wrinkles and age spots are the least of it. The sun has been proven to aggravate medical conditions, interfere with prescriptive drugs, and to cause skin cancer. Your summer weight t-shirts and sun-dresses can let in an astonishing amount of the sun's damaging UV rays. Coolibar sun hats, protective clothing and swimwear use superbly protective, high-tech fabrics to deliver no less than 50 UPF, 98% blockage, yet keep you cool, comfortable and fashionable."

I am in love with my new Coastline Cover up Dress. I know it says it's a bathing suit cover up, but this beauty is great for all day wear! 

I wore it for a morning at the Pier:

And at the beach as a bathing suit cover up:

Very cute dress. Although a bit hot it seems. Love it with the fedora.

Daphne, Coolibar stuff is not hot at all. It breathes beautifully. I have wrap I wear to play dates and when I am outside for a long period of time. I live in GA so our summers are hot and humid.
