fashionably safe.

For those of us in New England, the disappearance of summer signals the reemergence of colder temperatures {and what will all too soon turn into the winter chill--eeks!}. Even though summer is winding down, it doesn't mean that we should stop being sun savvy! Julie and Lauren from Born & Bread alerted us to a new clothing line called Mott 50. The whole idea behind their line is to create pieces which can help you make sun savvy decisions just by slipping on one of their pieces below. Each garment they make has a UPF of 50, which is ten times the sun protection you get from a white t-shirt!

{where to find these pieces: 1 - 2 - 3}

Sure, you'll still need to apply the sunscreen elsewhere, but these dresses {and their other clothes too!} help make it easy to protect yourself from the skin's deadly rays. Though I don't own any of Mott 50's pieces this season, you better believe I'll be adding some to my collection for next summer!
