I'm an umbrella/Sun ☀ person too. I have fair skin and try to avoid direct sun exposure. Hats, gloves, long sleeves are my go to for gardening or yard work. I have a light colored umbrella if I'm going to be out and about, to protect myself from the sun ☀
I have a sun allergy and I get rashes when my skin rubs together, so I need to wear sleeves all summer. I find that a linen or lawn sleeve will keep me cooler than bare skin.
Wauw great and relevant video Christine. I don't know what it is about us plus size women but summer is not our friend. I boil in the heat like a lobster😅🥵😆 I got lots of inspiration for summer shopping where I stick to the vintage style that we all love. Thank you❤
I have that linen skirt from Target. I love it. It goes with just about everything in my summer wardrobe. And there’s lots of open space to do a little embroidery if the mood should strike!
Can you do a video on your favorite retro accessories and where to purchase them? Would love to know where to look for cute hats, brooches, etc. Also looking for somewhere to buy wide fit shoes if you know any!
I have videos for just about all of that. Check out my Vintage Fashion playlist and you’ll find my hat and brooch collection videos as well as my favorite vintage reproduction shoes video.
Hello! I just found your channel, and I am so glad I did. I always wear skirts, and I appreciate your outfits; they give me ideas on accessories. I have a few brooches that belonged to my gramna that I need to get out.
I’ve been eyeing that Target skirt for weeks lol! And have been on the hunt for a good big straw hat too. I definitely want to up my summer style this year so this helps a lot! Thank you!
I'm so excited to hear you're in Virginia, we are about to move there! Roughly where are you located? I'd love to get the chance to meet you and get your opinions on what I can do to dress more vintage. I try to make 40s-50s outfits, slowly adding to my wardrobe, but it just never looks right. I love your videos, they've been so helpful!

Do we have any thoughts on slips/undergarments for summer? To keep cool but also to protect the clothes from sweat? I figure nylon slips and or linen and of course, under arm guards.
Beautiful video ! I I love the idea of blending and n the illustrations ! I sew all my clothes. I wear a lot of dresses but I need jumpers , where can you suggest I could buy some?

I love how you showed pictures of what you wear but also vintage examples of the same things. Very cool!
I’m glad you liked it, it’s always fun and helpful to see the vintage sources of inspiration isn’t it?
Where do you find parasols? The one featured was STUNNING! I would feel like the star of a golden age movie with that!
I find them at flea markets, vintage stores and online. I’m always keeping a eye out for them.

An umbrella is essential here is Texas the sun shines from 8am to 8pm.
Ahhhhh, feeling light n breezy just watching this my friend!
Great summer essentials, I adore parasols especially!
Thanks for sharing. Xx

I agree. Linen is a must for summer in the mid-Atlantic! Love the floral prints as well
Awesome video Christine with summer tips! I burn 10 minutes in a hot sun. My parasols are my go to accessories as well. Much love to you! ❤️
Oh yes, parasols are essential!
Thanks!

Oh yes, slips are great for summer time. I wear a slip just about everyday and I also love my slip shorts to combat chub rub!
I love your white embroidered blouse. Where can I find a similar one?
That was from eShakti. They always have great embroidery.
Beautiful video !
I I love the idea of blending and n the illustrations !
I sew all my clothes.
I wear a lot of dresses but I need jumpers , where can you suggest I could buy some?
