Right after my skin cancer diagnosis I had the opportunity to meet the owner and creator of the sun safe fashion line SummerSkin. Summer Kramer (yep, that is her name!) is seriously such an inspirational powerhouse of a woman that has really made a beautiful brand of clothing that can also help protect you. I was fortunate enough to be able to sample one of her creations— the Endless Summer Scarf. The Endless Summer Scarf is just too much fun because it can be worn so many different ways. I got the scarf the week before my surgery and had fun creating 7 Different Days of SummerSkin Style for my Instagram feed. Over the next couple of Curvy Girl Style posts I’ll be sharing some of my favorite outfits from that week! Check out all the styles I did by looking up#mysummerskin on Instagram!
Last week I shared an easy, casual outfit perfect for a day by the river or out at the Farmer’s market. Today I’m sharing my favorite work outfit from the week. After reading about and seeing the image of a truck driver’s face and the way the sun damaged the side of the face with the most exposure I became much more aware of how much I drive how much sun my face and arm is getting while driving. I often don’t plan on being outside for long when I run out the door for a long day of work, so I don’t really think to put on a hat or extra sun protection. The Endless Summer Scarf has been a great accessory for me during my drives. So much so that I tend to just leave it folded up in my car when I am not incorporating it into an outfit. It covers the side of my face that the sun hits along with my shoulder. Then, when I’m done driving, I just pull it down to make a cute accessory to my work attire.

Adorable! I don’t have anything so stylish, just an old canvas hat. 🙂
You are so cute! We’re actually giving away a set of SummerSkin scarves with one of my client’s Kickstarter campaigns later this week. Love how versatile it is! And, I really should protect my skin while driving… one of those things I shamefully never think about. Thank you for the important reminder, Jenni!

I’ve been admiring photos of you in this scarf for quite a while, I love how it can be styled and used in so many ways so it’s functional and fashionable! And, what a great idea of using it while driving when you lost track of how much time you are in the sun- and you come out without hat hair!

That’s a great idea to incorporate clothing with SPF in it to protect your skin. I’m definitely not great about consistently wearing sunscreen, so I liked your tip to leave the scarf in the car so you can use it whenever.
Love the scarf! I love how it protects your skin while be fashionable! 🙂
