It’s been an unseasonably warm winter all over the country. (I know this because I work with a fabulous meteorologist!) There have been cold spells here and there, but it’s been fairly warm. It’s bright and sunny on some days to the point that a hat and sunglasses are needed. After my visit to the dermatologist, I now know that sun protection any time of year is necessary, but it feels so strange to load up on SPF in the winter. When I discovered Mott50, it made things easier.
Mott50 is a wonderful company that makes sun protective clothing. This beautiful navy collared dress isn’t just a great wardrobe staple, but is actually protecting my skin from the sun! It’s UPF50, and the collar also helps protect my neck and shoulders. Although it’s technically a “summer” dress, I found that it’s ideal for winter when you add a scarf, winter hat, and boots!
One of my resolutions this year was to invest in a wardrobe that was as functional as it is pretty. I knew I needed more staple pieces designed for travel, to mix and match with a dozen other things, and hang in my closet for the next five to ten years without going out of style. This dress is one of those pieces. It’s classic and fits so softly and comfortably, it feels as if you are wearing a worn-in t-shirt.
Nothing goes better with classic style than a monogram, so I added my leather monogram bracelet from Ellie’s Sparkles to this look. (Only $29!) There’s still time to order one to gift for New Year’s and plenty of time to order one for Valentine’s Day, because it WILL be here before you know it!
