how are we being hot & creative this summer? by staying hydrated? by enjoying thrift store A/C? TELL ME!!!
doing some sketching at the lake over here 🙌 highly recommend, i've never felt more zen
I'm just over here throwing a contrasting ruffle on everything.
I got a recipe book that's inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender, so I am gonna make some of those.
I'm saying f*** it to body dysmorphia and fear, and crocheting myself a low-cut crop so my saggy boobs and big belly can get exposure to the sun while I garden in my yard and drink delicious coffee! Admittedly I probably won't be bold enough to wear it out in public, but the fact that I'm willing to do it in my own backyard it's a big step for me and it's like 100° out so I deserve to feel cool and cute ❤
by being a program specialist at a summer camp!! super excited
Have to pause halfway to go to a job interview.. wish me luck
YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!
Good luck from an Internet stranger! ❤️
Good luck! Get that bag!
Good luck ❤❤❤
Hope you got it!!! 🎉
I am a simple gal with simple needs: Kathleen posts a new video, I scramble immediately to watch it.
i hope this is the only scramble of your day 😌😌😌
Me too, me too ❤
I’ve been getting really into the idea of a solid color linen dress because it’s simple and wonderful for the hot weather. I used to rely a lot on patterns to feel stylish but lately what I’ve been doing is spicing a single piece up with some coordinated accessories- bandanas/ hats are a great way to tie it all together! Depending on the kind of sandals you wear, anklets are also a great accessory for summer (especially if you make the anklet yourself!)
The other day I had on a peach linen mumu, and I accessorized it with a green bandana to protect my scalp from the sun, witchy brown eyeball earrings with green crystals, tiger eye and green crystal beaded bracelets, witchy rings, and an anklet that picked up on all of the colors. Topped it off with some lavender birks and a black embroidered purse that also picked up on those colors and I felt breezy while also expressing my personal style!
I decided to "shop at home" and found a bag of socks from the 1980s that I wore when I used to work in Manhattan. They are so much better-made than the socks I've seen in the stores today! And so cute!
it sucks how much the quality of clothes has gone down
May I suggest that before you singe the ends of your ribbon, you check the fiber content? If it's any kind of synthetic (nylon, polyester) it will melt, but if it's cotton (or maybe rayon) it can catch on fire! 🔥 Use a dab of glue on the end of natural fiber ribbon 😊.
great tip thank you!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Just the right amount of clown kookieness diy I'm down for
it’s a dangerous balancing act & im happy to oblige 🤡💕
@@KathleenIllustrated crank up the clown stuff I need more 🎊
I'm glad you addressed why you didn't get the jester skirt. I'm not sure I ever would have recovered without closure.
The Brazilian songs are always a yummy surprise. Specially when the theme is a very Brazilian struggle (30°c everyday babyyyyy)! Much love from Brasil, friend!! Love your vids, keep at it 🎉
As someone who mostly wears black and loves layering , living in California… the struggle is REAL during the summer 🥲. Such cute ideas! I loved the top!! And the charms are so cute
Me an Australian watching this in the middle of winter: hmm yes very interesting
I needed this! I’m a therapist and I want to be both professional and show my weird self and if I search therapist outfit on Pinterest it’s a beige vomit. I still need to figure out some tops for some fun skirts I have, but this helped.
Please wear the weird stuff and be your weird self The clients you are meant to work will find you and love you!
I know many therapists that DON'T use beige, rather they aren't scared of using colour and prints.
I tend to rifle through all my estate sale jewelry and pile it on over any loose dress, mumu, or tank top sitch.
If you thrifted those shoes from a cat owner, it was probably a cat that did the damage to the shoelaces lol. My cat BreeBree loves to chew on shoelaces if she's ever given the chance.
Also if you don't have any Rick rack but you have t-shirt scraps, you can use t-shirt scraps for shoelaces. Old school punks would do this all the time
Yes indeed, there is always some random person on youtube who knows how tailor the seat of your pants or fix your air conditioner.
yes! And the video is usually 6-8 years old! magical. 💕🤌🏼
Yay free books! I want to recommend books by one of my oldest friends...we met in college in 1986, and she's won the Hugo Award twice for her fiction. Suzanne Palmer has a 4-book series called "The Finder Series," which is a space opera type of deal mixed with a very silly sense of humor. I think you'd like it!
I wear the lightest cotton and linen clothes I can find in the summer, with slip on fun designed foamy slides, I wash my feet to stay cool at various points in the day, and mix juice with half water to stay hydrated, and movies 🎥 in recliners 🤩🥳
I have been rinsing my feet in cold water when I get too hot as well. It actually works miracles.
@@faeriesmak strange, but true!
Your hair looks incredible in this video!!!
🥹 wow thanks!
I used to wear a big leather jacket no matter the temperature outside and I'm honestly surprised I didn't just melt away. It was so sweaty but I persisted😔. Love your channel and energy! Keep it up!
On a family vacation to Mexico in 1988, my dad bought me, a 15-year-old punk rock girl, a classic black motorcycle jacket (which I later studded up😂) . I wore that damn jacket the rest of the vaycay. In photos, my family are in shorts and tank tops, and then there's me in a leather jacket 😂
That's commitment to the 'fit lol
Gonna eat some pickle popcorn while i make pickle charms 🥒💚.
it's a LIFESTYLE 🥒💚
To stay myself when it's hot: I use my deep-cool colour palette, pick linen dress and wide cotton T-shirt and use colourful cross bags.
I must say: those bright and neon colours suit you so well!🎉
my favourite quote so far, "at first i wasn't super jazzed about my color options, but then, I don't know, i kinda just did a 180 and then i got jazzed"
4:33 Kashi BLEP 🥰😍🥰 Why are the pasta shoelaces SO cute?!?! I'm stealing that. Also the sensual guitar music while you laced the shoes is why we keep coming back to you Kathleen, you understand how to set the mood. 😉
In Texas, the real feel is 105 degrees, this video was just the ticket for a hot day! I always smile when you post a new video! Thanks for the inspiration and stinky wishes. 💘
It's really hard in the summer because I tend to dress more andro, but one of the things I tried on my last school break when I went thrifting was actually layering two patterned short sleeve mens button downs, which is not something I would ever have considered before watching your channel. But I immediately loved the pattern clashing. For me, it's still a little too hot for that, but for someone who is not a human heater, I think it'd be a cool take on summery short sleeve button downs. Maybe a little hawaiian shirt pattern clashing?? Or do a patterned hawaiian shirt with a solid or minimal print button down? Have one buttoned up and the top one open?
Desk Puppy looked wistful at the idea of a small family of ceramic ornaments. It was -4 degrees celcius here (south east of Australia) last night so I won't be jazzing up any summer outfits BUT I will use the knotted toggle idea to create a closure for the tiny thrifted 60s sewing box I found that is missing its original. I always enjoy your energy. Happy reading.
As a fellow Ohio resident I needed this video for my future thrifting trips and garage saleing 😭😭 love your videos and your dog!
hehe thank you!!! 🐺
I'm going to need to try to make some of those charms. I've been in love with parrot earrings, but they're a bit spendy for me. Maybe I'll make a whole tiki room for my ears. 🦜
definitely needed this video seeing as i’m currently sitting in my underwear lmao
kathleen out here answering my prayers thank you 😭🙏
wow you welcome! 👼
As a fellow Columbus thrifter, this is precisely the video I needed today.
The yellow riffraff on the black converse reminds me Charlie Brown!
I saw a comment a couple days ago that I wanted to respond to and now I can't find it. It was in regards to it being impossible to find plus size clothes at the thrift store. I agree it's harder for us ladies, but I've been able to find some great stuff. 1 I think my best recommendation is to know your measurements and bring a tape measure. 2. Look in other sizes too because cuts and sizes can be very different. 3. I've found skirts that have an elastic waist band that is pretty shot, but good news!! I don't need the elastic.
I hope you don't get discouraged 😊
I needed to see this! I’m a landscaper and I’m miserable by the time I get home in the summer. This has encouraged me to actually spice up my clothes in this heat!!
the tank top diy & the rickrack laces in the same fit!! i’m liiiiiiving for the cuteness 🥰
the rick-rack laces!!! the fanny pack CHARM KEYCHAIN 😭😭😭
also I love the mini book-tok sessions that have now become a staple of the channel 💕
"the feminine urge to make your shoelaces look like pasta"
i felt that a little too hard
As a Brazilian I find very funny to hear some music in Portuguese in yt videos lol even though the jazz/bossa Nova/lofi vibes in the music is very strong this one has very random lyrics lol
ha! i WAS wondering what the lyrics were saying... glad to know they're random 😆
Glad I wasn't the only one obsessed with the jester skirt.
I layer doodads on my bags in the summer time, like clipping on a decorative folding fan 🪭 (useful too!) I also wear dainty scarfs around my head or neck, or colored bandanas!
Me, being from Brazil, always get very surprised when you put Brazilian music on your videos haha I know you like it but it always surprises me 😂
I basically look for loose-fitting natural fibers to maximize breathability and air flow. I like minimal accessories, as a breastfeeding mom (fewer things to snag on a nursing cover if I use one, or to be grabbed by my kiddos). But I am really liking hats that coordinate with my outfit or shoes.
I never wear layers because I’m in danger of being too hot at ALL times of the year! While I could technically wear multiple layers outside, then I have to take them all off again inside. Anyway, love your ideas that don’t require roasting to death!
This Arizona gal is so happy you made this video. I live in a oven during the Summer so the more nekkid the better. ❤ I love big earrings and I am inspired to pull them out and wear the silly things. 👍
I have.a good idea for your black t-shirt: keeping with the cheongsam theme, I'd cut a slit on the side of the shirt, the side without the diagonal cut. Then you could sew an additional toggle there, roughly at the waist. It looks like you have a tiny slit there already, just make the slit bigger and add a toggle.
Whrn its super hot i find t shirt type tops too warm. I am actually cooler if i wear a blouse thats thin and long sleeves to keep the sun off my arms. Sounds weird but the sleeves help. Look at construction workers or lawn workers they wear the long sleeves for the same reason. Love your videos and your vibe. ❤❤
I hope you enjoy The Witch King, it’s one of my favorite reads from last year (also a big Murderbot fan)! I always veer toward linen stuff when we really get into summer-and adding belts to the shorts and layered necklaces with high neck tanks! Now to break out the polymer clay to make some lil charms 👀
Can confirm. Kathleen will hype. ‘Twas a highlight of my life, I took a screenshot ❤
My style is more cottage-core-casual, so I like to express myself by wearing milkmaid braids. So easy and they keep my hair off my neck all day.
Also I love Murderbot! Currently on #4.
The Witch King is awesome! Also, all of Ms. Wells’ Ile de Rien novels slay!
I'm a visual artist that specializes in the little frustrating details and crafts, and my favourite brush is a 00000. 😂
My go to for summer is always the brightest tights you've ever seen in your life. Some thin ones have saved me these past few weeks of 3 degree texas weather
OOOO that's fun!
The worst thing about summer in my little Asian home country is not only the temperature but also the humidity... It's currently 90% humidity / 100 degree and I freaking melting away, but hey there's a new Kathleen video I'll melt later 👀
As someone who lives in the devil's armpit AKA Texas, I so appreciate this video 🫡
Also your tomato kinda looks like a persimmon!
Love Murderbot!
What a random moment of squeeeing happiness. Thanks!
currently crocheting a colorful mesh shrug for this summer heat! love the charms so much, they are adorable😍 also the squiggles for shoe laces are so fun! love the way your styling came together
It's the middle of winter here but I am motivated in advance for summer. Some lovely rainy day ideas
Super stuff.. t- shirt was cool af. the knots did look like pretty rosebuds.. 🥰…but I’m literally going to chase some frilly stuff for laces.. love that indeed. That and continue my pink streaks in my now blonde hair and as a 55 year old, it may seem rather ridiculous but I do not give a hoot.😊
Sounds great to me!!!!
My dad collected buttons (the ones with the pin back) and when I really want to feel myself I pin one of them to my outfit. Those or my grandma’s brooches. It’s a nice little way of connecting to them!
I really like this tank top idea! I think i would put an insert of a different fabric as a little pop of contrast.
That mystery box made me so happy!!! This entire video has me thinking of things to do to my wardrobe 💖
0:11 seconds in and I already know this video is a safe space 😆
you get it!!! also love your user name 🐺
Rick rack gives the shoes a clown-y vibe 👍
I love the idea of ricrac laces! I changed out the laces on my pink converse for different ones *ages* ago. Might be time to give my other kicks the same treatment.
The bag charms are so cute! I have little plushies I somtimes attach to my purses.
I like to try new looks in summer to stay cool. I have some linen items from last year i wanna style. ❤
Also, hell yeah free books from Tor! Lmk how you like The Archive Undying!
Spite House is so, so good! I read it last year and it’s stuck with me in a big way. Can’t wait for Johnny Compton’s next novel, which I think will be out this year!
Spite House was good, I love all of these!!!! And yes, I am stinky, it's summer, and I am longing for fall and Winter.
Yay we are on the same brain wave length because I had just asked how to style when it's so hot since I am a blazer girly. My current favorite thing to do is add a hat or hair accessory to my outfits to give more personality and pop. I am currently working on my costume for Fan Expo so not allowed to craft anything else until that is DONE.
absolutely love the rick rack shoes laces, and I'll have to try the charms! also love to hear bits of Brazilian music on the background❤
Loved all these diys but the paracord tank top was NEXT LEVEL! Such a fun upgrade to a simple top. Also brb adding all of those Tor books to my TBR
hehe thanks! & SAAAME 📚
Love them both! And your hair is adorable that way! Another great video from Kathleen 😊
My big summer time go to is wearing a shirt dress open as a sun cover up on top of my bright sports bra and loud pants combos, dramatic, flowy, bright, sun safe
Congrats on the free book haul!! SCORE!!
I aspire to be as cool as you someday. (I'm 52). P.S. Most of the best life skills I have learned are from some random guy on CZcams.....❤
these diys turned out so cute!! I'm now thinking what kinds of charms I could make for my bags...
also the bewilderment I felt when I realised we have the exact same washi tape! its so toot
can you make a video on how to style modest outfits for 120 degree weather?
I have gotten some new favorite books based on your recommendations and am so glad to have found someone who adored Gideon the Ninth as much as I did!
YES!!! 👹
my ultimate hot weather accessory has been switching from a big purse to a fanny pack :P
it almost automatically tucks in my baggy shirts too, love having a pseudo belt and mini purse
I know you said you don't like fiddly crafts but I think embroidering on simple pieces is fun. I embroidered the original Charlie Brown design on a shirt years ago and I always get comments on it 🥰 (if you haven't seen the original design for the Peanuts characters do yourself a favor and look them up 😭😭)
Alcohol inks can be used to tint clay and don't add opacity like pastels do 👍🏼
Thank you, I needed to hear that (6:40-7:25)! I love your creative and light hearted inspiration. It means a lot
Can recommend The Witch King. Universally liked by our Sci-Fi and Fantasy book club. Very different from Murderbot, but equally enjoyable.
Oh my gosh I'm so excited you got all those books! 😄 Can't wait till you tell us more. Also l may need to.. Rick rack? Rikrak? 🤔 Some shoes! 😂
it’s always a good day when you post 💚
Witch King is so good. Youre gonna love it. Don't worry about the punch of information in the first 50 pages... just vibe
okay i'm entering vibe mode!!!!!
brb running to the thrift to find ribbons for all my shoes rn!
Also I've been knitting socks this summer. They make good summer projects because they are small and portable and don't make you too hot while knitting them.
Your dog & I burped at the same time but I only heard myself so I thought you responded directly to my burp 😅😂😂😂
I loved Witch King so much!!! I prefer it to murderbot honestly. It was my favorite book I read last year. I've actually recommended it to you once or twice before on here, but I wasn't sure if you ever saw my comment.
BUT The Archive Undying was so disappointing! I wanted to like it so badly, and she's an amazing writer and her world is so lush and beautiful, but there was just so much convoluted inter-character drama that made no sense to me and the technology was never clearly explained. I ended up DNFing it at 90% through because I stopped being able to follow it. Just wanted to warn you 😂
Edit: Also, about Witch King, I've just remembered you should keep an eye out for the fashion in there! She plays with gender roles so that the men of that world wear skirts and the women wear pants and I love it so much. All kinds of wonderful descriptions of skirts, face veils, and jeweled hairpins. Goals honestly
Such a cozy video for summer, I am allergic to hot weather (vampire here) and so I need all the summer outfit inspiration I can get. Thanks for sharing your magic! ✨
Ok I’ve never been a fan of ribbon shoe laces but those pasta laces are cute as heck 😫
Hey there Kath, I pray that you & Gus & your gorgeous doggie are all doing well today. Oh btw I've gotta say that remind me of Carla Bow ya know the very first it girl!! She was Simply Stunning & so are you if I do say so myself & I definitely do!! My favorite diy was most definitely the T-shirt. Have a Blessed & Beautiful night in Jesus name I pray, Amen!!
The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport is by a dear friend! Indian fiction FTW.
I only learnt 2 useful in your adulthood things in schools, maths and how to hand sew. I just added some elastic to the waist of my favourite skirt that I slightly outgrew so ordered some elastic waistband, cut a hole to the old elastic waistband, cut the original and sewd some more elastic in there to extend the elastic and now I can wear my favourite skirt again and hopefully forever. It's just so versatile and I've never found one like it which makes me laugh cus it was an old primark skirt and the mamma Mia vibe comes around every year and I just cant find one exactly the same 😂😂. So thankful for my teacher in primary school who started a sewing class just for me and my friend once a week at lunch time. Still got the sewing purse kit she got me when we left. 😊 primary school was the best, high school was hell and work is anxiety raising. I just, I always feel like I'm going do something wrong and get fired. I've been there 5 years and my confidence hasnt grown.
Ah! That cell phone wallet kickstand helped me ! I'm going to make my own Kindle Case out of an old book but I love a good kickstand and wasn't sure that a cardboard one would work, but now I have a solution!!! Thank you! Inspiration is everywhere! PS I just got tiny tubes of E6000 at Ross for $4 and I may have squealed like I just won a car.
oh awesome!!! your kindle is gonna be so swagged out!
I always try to wear dark linen dresses because you can go braless…a little Glide under each girl and you’re good to go. Either glide on thighs or bike shorts. Sandals and earrings. Done.
“Let me show you my tiny pickle.”
At least buy me dinner first, dang. 😳
The pasta laces were cool!
I love Murderbot and I have several of those books. But I haven't read them yet. I get books faster than I read them.
Love the little charms!
she's giving punky brewster summer 🧡💛💚💙💜
