I ...Hi dear, thank you very much for your question. I don't presently wear vintage sunglasses, but I happily would. The main reason why I don't have any vintage sunnies at the moment is because I wear prescription lenses, and haven't found a pair of frames I love (and that look good enough on me) to invest in prescription lenses for. I really, really hope this happens one day though.<br /><br />You can usually have modern lenses (be they prescription or nonprescription) put into vintage frames, so if you're concerned about UV protection, this is definitely the way to go.<br /><br />Have a wonderful summer!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-20777549006196001932013-07-03T09:44:08.667-07:002013-07-03T09:44:08.667-07:00I would love to know if you want to wear vintage s...I would love to know if you want to wear vintage sunglasses, how do you know if they are safe...some have no uv tags on them.

I'm often asking sellers to add in extra measurements into their listings (the 'shoulder to fitted waist' often gets neglected!) I totally agree with what you said about Marilyn Monroe - when I saw some of her dresses at an exhibition - the waist was tiny!

Though, it does focus on vintage US sizing, perhaps this post I wrote back in January will be of help to you when it comes to navigating vintage sizing: http://www.chronicallyvintage.com/2013/01/vintage-clothing-sizing-101.html <br /><br />I haven't tried their capri pants, but I have adored everything else I've bought from them, so I'm keen to recommend you check out Freddie of Pinewood's classic capri pants (they're UK based, so sizing, pricing and returns should probably be a cinch): http://www.freddiesofpinewood.co.uk/categories/ladies/28-capri-pants<br /><br /><br />Thanks again & have a fabulous weekend, honey!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-84887999114789121112013-06-06T06:20:24.101-07:002013-06-06T06:20:24.101-07:00I can check off most of your great list, but one c...I can check off most of your great list, but one can never have too many shawls, so thanks a bunch for the free pattern.

Perhaps they'd do the trick on you, too?<br /><br />No, much as I admire the art and love a classic knit garment, I'm not a knitter myself. I never learned and haven't felt compelled to try to learn yet as an adult (I suspect it would be challenging for me, as I have very limited arm strength and stamina, but wouldn't turn down lessons of course if I had someone I knew who wanted to teach me). I know you'd started learning a while back. How has that been going for for you? <br /><br />Big hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-74874632132127949352013-06-03T03:14:04.471-07:002013-06-03T03:14:04.471-07:00So glad you are feeling much better kitten!
