Wear Your Sun Protection Daily
SPF Addict sent us these sun protective gear fashions to review: The Chief Blonde is wearing SPF Addict Donna’s Perfect Dress ($55), St. Francis Couture Belt (), Calvin Klein Heels (). The Chief Blonde’s daughter is wearing SPF Addict California Breeze Jacket ($60), white shirt dress (), Joe’s Jeans Sandals ()
My lovely daughter will soon be heading back to college, where she plans to finish her degree in Graphic Design. I am so proud of her on so many levels: her dedication to her craft, her clear headedness, her great choices in friends, her belief in the Lord.
Also, I am very proud that she has always embraced taking care of her pale skin. Just like me she realizes that no amount of tanning will ever produce any more than a wicked burn. Still as a college student and young girl bombarded by images of lithe tan bodies, she does experience frustration.
People with skin like ours, have few choices when it comes to summer. We can either lather on smelly, sticky sunscreen everyday or stay indoors. Another choice is covering up with sun protective clothing, but face it, most sun protective clothing is UGLY…not fashionable at all. However SPF Addict approached me to review some items from their line and I have to say they are breaking the mold for sun protective gear:
Just look how adorable my daughter looks in the SPF Addict California Breeze Jacket. This lightweight utilitarian jacket is certainly fashion forward, cute enough to pair with summer dresses but with sun coverage enough to wear to the first big football games. I love that it has a UPF 50+ with a vented back panel, high collar with snap buttons for extra sun protection during the day, belted waist. The back open vent allows for breathability.
I am wearing the SPF Addict Donna’s Perfect Dress. I can’t rave about this dress enough. I can see myself wearing this poolside over a bathing suit. As well, I can pair it with heels and hat, and then spend a whole day shopping outside downtown without fear of burning. The bonus is that I don’t have to worry about sticky sunscreens!
The sun doesn’t take a day off and neither should your sun protection
My daughter and I realize that even though we live in Michigan, there is no day off from protecting your skin. That’s why SPF addict is not a seasonal line. Harmful UV rays still exist during the fall and winter months and on cloudy days in the spring and summer. While we will still need to wear sunglasses, hats, and use some sunscreen, we realize that SPF addict can offer us sun protection in our daily wear.

I luv the Cruzin Hoodi

It has a very cool look and my daughter would luv it for xmas!
I like the California Dreamin’ Poncho, because it is fun and whimsical.
And did I forget to mention the ‘French Terry Jewels’ (spfaddict.com/womens-clothing/french-terry-jewels.html). I wish I had those when I was much younger. It would have saved my hands from much sun damage. But I imagine, I am still only in my early 30s and it still isn’t too late to protect the skin of my forearms, probably one of my few body parts, like my face, that almost never receives sun protection. Time to buckle up and get those Terry Jewels 🙂
I love all of their stylish sun protective clothing designs, especially the mint green California Dreamin’ Poncho (spfaddict.com/womens-clothing/california-dreamin-poncho.html). It is the perfect light color to ward off the heat from the sun and to stay cool. And it does so in a perfectly soft, flowy, elegant and feminine manner. I am definitely going to get this sexy outfit 🙂
i like that california dream poncho
I have pale skin too and, yes, it can be daunting with everyone so tan. Your daughter is just lovely! I really like their Groovy Times top. The subtle stripes and black and grey colors are quite fashionable and fun. 🙂
WELL FOR ME I JUST FELL FOR TWO BEAUTIES HERE IS THE FIRST
Marina Cardigan
Whitney Sleeved Wrap
IS 2nd
YOUR STYLE IS EXQUSTE ????
I think I’d get the Julie’s Wrap. Kimono type styles like that seem really big for Fall and it looks like it would work as a light jacket, too!
I would get the Julie’s Wrap.
I like their French Terry Jewels top. I like that it’s so down to earth, the kind of clothes I like to wear.
I like Donna’s Perfect Dress and Julie’s wrap!
They are cute and comfy!
I like the Classic long sleeve tee in white because it goes with everything
I like the Groovy Times 3/4 sleeve shirt for the days during the Fall and Spring where I don’t need a sweater, but I’m too cold in a short sleeve. The SPF is a great idea – even in the coldest of days, you need to limit your exposure to the sun.
I’d love to have the California Dreamin’ Poncho because it looks like it would be easy to wrap around you more when it was cool, but also breezy enough to keep cool in if it warmed up. It doesn’t look constricting at all like a coat can be. I love the light green (guessing that is the Mojito color).
I like the Julie’s wrap. Perfect for fall. Thank you for the chance.
I burn very easily, so this would be a great thing for me to win.
I like the design and fit of the Black Mineral top.
I like the Neva Caftan because it’s most like my style. I love that it’s a relaxed fit.
I think I would get the California Breeze Jacket. It would be a great addition to my fall wardrobe.
i would love the groovy times top. it is so classic and casual and i am so pale i need spf help.
