People very much misunderstand when they think being covered makes you hotter. It can, especially if you’re wearing tight fitting synthetic fiber clothes. But I worked at an 1850’s living history farm in the Southern US for two summers. I wore a cotton dress that went from neck to wrists to ankle with at least two petticoats underneath and an apron pretty much all the time. I also wore a cotton day cap as well (thin cotton bonnet). Having the sun hit your skin can really heat you up! When you sweat in cotton, it evaporates off the cotton and cools you. A full, breezy skirt really helps too since it touches your skin very little. Plus wearing a sun hat will keep more heat off. I wore a straw sun bonnet with a flap in the back to cover my neck. This allowed me to work out in our garden without being miserable even in 90°F (32°C) heat. And if people don’t believe me, look at Middle Eastern countries where loose-fitting light colored clothing is standard.
I used to do Medieval reenactment, and one thing you will be told over and over is to use natural fabrics. Our group used to take part in Canada Day celebrations and I once wore a lightweight wool dress with a cotton underdress. All those people who asked if I was too hot looked like lobsters at the end of the day. TBH, I was not 'cool' but also not unpleasantly warm.
Absolutely beautiful Sarah! I'm not an orthodox Jew, but your tips in this video are very on point and helpful to those of us who are trying to be modest. Thank you. If you get tired of being a doctor.... Perhaps you can be a stylist! I also want to say the words you say at the end of your videos are incredibly powerful. Thank you!
I love staying cool! Another thing to consider for those that may worry about heat-- the direct sun on your skin feels much hotter than most breathable fabrics! Im in central Texas where we have been having over 100° days most of the summer and even a navy colored sleeve has made my skin more comfortable than the harsh sun (light colors work best though)
I love embellishing my head coverings with sparkly headbands! It’s so much fun! At an antique store I found some old clip earring that were so fun. I would never wear them as earrings but I clipped them to a fold on my scarf.
I was so excited to see you today! We also believe in modesty, although not as covered as your standards. Thank you for sharing your faith and gentle ways with us. PS-have you been losing weight? You look great!
I love your content. Your videos exude respect for other religions and cultures while showing pride and educating people about your way of life. I also love how kind you are and I admire you for letting women know they can care for their children and have a fulfilling career and it isn’t mutually exclusive. If no one has told you this today you are valued and loved 🥰
Hi Sarah! I'm a Catholic bride planning my wedding next summer. It's so hot where I live, it is hard to find a "summer" wedding dress that meets my standards of modesty (also I don't believe in spending so much on a dress for one day!) Trying on the fitted gowns also makes me self conscious about my body, usually I wear loose fitting dresses & blouses. This video made my day, thank you!
Hi Emma! congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I am so delighted to hear that great news!!! if I may please wear what fits right for you Also , if I may share something a bit more personal on my wedding day I had a very heavy dress, but it was the dress in which I felt the most princess like and I felt so beautiful I chose it and never regretted it. I never even felt the weight of the dress and I absolutely loved my pictures. Praying for G.od to give you the address of your dream, many hugs and k
Emma, please visit your local thrift stores. They often have lovely gowns at lovely prices. And don't worry about your body; God will be looking at your soul. Isn't it nice to have a place where all sorts of modest women can share ideas? Good luck with the dress hunt and enjoy your princess day!
I’m a Christian woman who likes to dress modestly and you just showed me where I can find slips, which are so hard to find these days! I’d definitely wear some of these outfits, which I find more appropriate for a woman of nearly 60. Thank you!
Yes!! I also prefer to dress modestly- and shopping for beautiful classy clothing is a struggle in our American culture. Great topic! Hope to see more like this video!
@@westberry1 Hi Westberry, as Sara's moderator I thought I would look into this for you. I found an online company in Florida and one in Israel. Yes, it can get very warm in Florida so I listed a couple of options. I would say to always check fabric content. I hope this is helpful. 🥰 1) www.devorahsecret.com/ 2) www.koshercasual.com/
@@Shoshi2048 thank you so much, I have been looking and asking some of my Jewish colleagues. These are reasonable prices and I could afford those. Thank you so much.
I'm not religious so i dont dress to any particular style but i just wanted to say how beautiful and elegantly you dress. I cant put an outfit together at all, you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing!
I live in the Dallas, Texas, area. Today is 108. I wear midi skirts and long-sleeved crew neck cotton knit tops constantly in the summer. Cotton absorbs and is ultra comfortable. It works for me, and I never have to think about the propriety of my appearance.
Sara you are so classy, pretty and stylish! I love staying cool! Natural fibers are my favorite tip. I adore how expressive your style is without compromising your ideals. If anyone tells me you can’t look cute while dressing modestly, I will point them to you! Frum but never frumpy! (Unless you wanted to be)
Sadly, something that most people don't seem to realize but that I firmly believe, is that people look much better covered up than they do showing so much skin. I am not Jewish, but I was raised to dress in a modest fashion and today, some 40 years since my parents passed away, I find myself dressing the way they taught me to dress. The outfits you modeled were beautiful and you sacrificed NOTHING by being modest!
Great video! I make most my own clothes. I’m tall too, 5’11” and it’s a struggle to find things that fit me and see modest. I’m loving the current “boho” styles that are similar to what I wore in high school in the 1970’s. I made your baked donuts the other day and they came out great! I ran out of all purpose flour and had to use bread flour for part of it and they were still light and fluffy. Take care!
My favorites are the white skirt with the shirt and tuniqe so beautiful ❤ so glad you are back , apart from mourning I hope everything was fine during the three weeks, my regards to everyone xoxoxoxo
Dear Ma'am Today you made me smile. I was in the hospital emergency room for 8.5 hours trying to achieve a normal sinus rhythm and get my blood pressure under 200. Turns out i was experiencing a thyroid storm. Viewing you, hearing your happy voice helped me through this day. Blessings on you.
I love staying cool! I don’t follow any religious modesty guidelines but I do cover myself more conscientiously in the summer to protect myself from the sun. I love pairing a sheer/see-through garment with a solid base layer, it’s one of my favorite combos! Thank you son much for another wonderful video ❤
I missed your posts greatly and am glad I get the chance to tell you that your focus on God has been a wonderful example and motivator to me. Thank you again for sharing God’s love with us all.
I love staying cool!! Welcome back Sara you must have been a busy Doctor Mommy with those kiddoes this summer! As a male who is a fan of your channel, I just wanted to add for men all the tips also apply, just that our clothing is generally cheaper, or so I have heard! Having grown up in New York and Florida, I learned very early about the benefits of long sleeves as protection from sun and bugs! My summer “uniform” includes long sleeve 100% cotton or linen shirts, which I too layer with a cotton short sleeved white cotton T shirt paired with 100% Khaki “Docker” style pants. I also will wear a long sleeved light blue, beige or pastel T-shirt alone or layer it with a short sleeve cotton linen shirt over if it is very hot. My reasons for my male modesty are that as a larger person of Jewish and Italian (i.e. hairy) descent, I just never liked that image of the guy sitting on his front stoop in a sleeveless T shirt! Plus I find exposed sweaty underarms (like when waving to a friend) really gross. In an effort to never appear sloppy, this look has worked for me. Yes I will wear shorts, but with age related things like swollen legs paired with cellulitis I try to spare my adoring public! As I my journey back to Judaism, perhaps my already modest choice in attire will pay off! Thank you again for your kindness and generous nature Sara! I live alone, so hearing an extra expression of love from another is much appreciated! Hugs, Michael Albuquerque NM USA PS I do LOVE wearing sandals all summer, especially with freshly pedicured feet! In New Mexico its a nice treat and pretty much a three season choice,
I remember a time when leaving the house in a dress without a slip was unheard of. Now, they're so hard to find. Not only are they wonderful for preserving modesty, but they also improve the line of the dress and feel luxurious against the skin.
I have started wearing a half slip as when I sit in a dress or skirt, they stick to my legs. I hate making a spectacle of myself trying to unstick I my garment and the slip helps.
@@IrishAnnieanother tip for that is to wear long bike shorts! Mine reach minimum to my knees, and help prevent chafing as well as accidental flashing.
@@SpringStarFangirl That’s a great idea! That way, I don’t have to worry about my slip sliding down. Thank you so much!!!! They are most likely slendering.
@@IrishAnnie I don't notice much of a slendering effect, but there, I do have more of a pear shape. I tend to sit in weird positions, so a slip just wouldn't cut it for me- I've been wearing shorts under my skirts for as long as I can remember.
@@SpringStarFangirl Me, too! For years, I worked with elementary school children. I would always wear bike shorts under my skirts because of windy days on the playground
Hello Sarah, I was so happy to see you posted a new video. You’re my all time favorite TH-camr. I’ve always dressed modestly because it’s how I feel more comfortable. I’ve been criticized for this and after watching your video I saw I made the right choice. You have a great sense of style. Your calm demeanor and soft voice is very relaxing. Thank you and welcome back ❤ Btw: I love to stay cool
I love your pretty outfits. Is it possible to show how a plus size woman options and what they can do to stay modest. As a plus size woman I would have difficulty. I try to be modest in my own way but finding clothes that fit thats a challenge.
Dr. Malka - love your channel! Every outfit you showcased were beautiful and winners 🥇 The light colored blouses and skirts with flow and movement were exquisite 👍 . By accessorizing with jewelry and using appliqués placed the cherry on the cake! Well done!
You look fabulous! Not as if you weren't perfect before, but your fitness efforts are VERY EVIDENT and you are beyond gorgeous. ❤ this is absolutely wonderful, I am so happy for you, Sarah!
@frumitup If you haven't already, maybe share how you keep both modest & fit? I can't stand the immodesty and lewdness in gyms, so I gave them up, but would like some modest alternatives so I can stay strong & healthy. Shalom aleichem!
I grew up in what is, essentially, the desert. It doesn't make sense to wear less clothes when attempting to stay cool, the sun just roasts more of you more efficiently. Wearing loose clothes that cover as much skin as possible keep me the coolest when the temperatures rise above 100 degrees. I do love to stay cool❤
I live in Australia and every inch of skin that is not covered has to be slathered in sunscreen so you don't get skin cancer, and the sun will just heat up your skin anyway, so I wear cotton boho dresses skirts and shirts. I love all the colours and patterns too.
Hello, Sarah, God bless you and your family. I have come to appreciate dressing modest and it's much more to my taste. I find not dressing modestly is uncomfortable and I feel self conscious. Thank you for sharing how you dress modestly and still look amazing. It was such a wonderful blessing to see and hear your voice.❤❤❤
Same. I've always been on the large side, and wearing tight or revealing clothing always made me self conscious of certain features of my body. I gravitated towards modest/conservative styles of clothing for that reason, and I'm much more comfortable in my skin for it.
A hot weather tip: spray the underskirt or slip with a sprayer in a very fine mist, not enough to dampen the top layer. Its like instant air-conditioning! I do this with my costumes at Renaissance fairs, and really, i feel cooler in the long skirts than in shorter skirts.
I love staying cool! 🥰 I enjoyed this video very much! I saw another Catholic woman watched/watches your videos and I am also Catholic enjoying your content. Thank you for sharing.
I don't think I could wear these kinds of clothes. For one, anything around my neck feels like I am being strangled. Secondly, menopause. lol The hot flashes are awful. But you look pretty in the clothes.
Shout out for me. Walked into Walmart and found some long t shirt style dresses for $11 !!!! Thankfully I have a lot of duster, kimono and cover ups to pair.
You have such a fun fashion sense! I love all the little extra bits you add to your headscarves, and the color & pattern combinations you make in your outfits. All the different variations of shells seem very useful.
Shalom Sarah! "I love staying cool!!" I so appreciate your modest and cool clothing advice! Your head coverings are beautiful!! I am in the conversion process to Orthodox Judaism and changing my life on every level. Clothing is so important! Thank you so much for the links also!
Hi Sarah! I love your fashion sense and style, especially the accoutrements to your head scarf! My mother is a devout Catholic and follows similar clothing practices - looser clothing, tasteful jewelry and low key shirts. Thank you for working so hard to bring us wonderful videos of Orthodox culture and practices-blessings to you and your family!
I love staying cool! My coworkers might poke fun at my "hippie" skirts, but those skirts are 100% cotton and so, so comfortable on these hot summer days. (I've made several all-cotton ruffled slips to wear under them too!) I'm not even religious, but I love being covered up and comfortable all year long.
Good morning all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. I thoroughly enjoy you're content as a young Christian wife striving to be a woman dear to God's heart. I have been dressing modestly for a while now and honestly I've never felt more comfortable and confident. Reading about woman like Deborah and Esther in the Bible shows me examples of woman who are near to God's heart and I see them a role models. ❤
Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks and these lovely modest outfit inspirations. I live in the south where it is quite warm, and the hot sticky summer months seem to drag by. Dressing modestly during this season can be tricky, and it is practically impossible to find modest clothing at local stores, except at thrift stores. I try to find fabrics that are light weight, but thick enough I don't have to layer in the summer, flowy bottoms, and light colors. I would love to find more online options that offer modest clothing at decent prices; if anyone has any suggestions, thanks in advance.
I love staying cool! Your outfits are similar to what I would wear year round, I live close to the equator and modest dressing is norm. Layering, natural fabrics, loose clothing, light fabrics are really help to beat the heat. I will try to get the Chambray too. Head covering is also good for the hair. Good to have you back Sara after a long break ❤
Hi, Sara! I agree 100% about the natural fabrics. Synthetic fabrics are so hot. I love your beautiful jewelry and scarf embellishments. You look so elegant!❤
I absolutely LOVE your pink shirt dress, it is SO beautiful! ( edited: I read the links!) I am so inspired by your ornaments on your tichel. I’m not orthodox but I like to protect my hair in the summer. Again, you bring such joy and beauty to my TH-cam subscriptions. Thank you 💛
I love staying cool! And I love watching you stay cool. :D My Beloved just spent three days in hospital (she is out now and getting better!) and, since I cannot drive, I spent the three days with her. I am a retired Certified Nursing Assistant, so I gave her round the clock care, allowing the hospital's nursing staff to attend to other patients. We had not expected to spend three days away from home, so I had only the clothing I was in when she was admitted! Ohhhh what bliss to get home and change! :D But it did show me something. While our city was sweltering under high heat, my Beloved and I were shivering, teeth chattering in a COLD hospital room! So I will ask you, as a physician, if you are attending people in hospital, please ASK them if they are too cold or too hot! To a hospital worker, walking here and there, in different temperatures in the hallways, treatment rooms and patient rooms, you may not know how cold these rooms can get! I am sure the temperature in my sweet partner's room actually hindered her recovery! Thank you so much for paying attention! You are a wonderful and caring person!
I love staying cool! My favorite tip was to wear natural fabrics. Cotton is a good choice but linen is better. Linen comes from the flax plant and it has very long stalks and pretty flowers all the way at the top. This means the plant has to draw water allll the way up that long stem! When turned into fabric this means that it is good at drawing moisture away from your body and absorbing it. Linen is unfortunately not very common but I have found nice pieces at the thrift store and on sites like etsy and poshmark.
Thankyou for your interesting explanation of why flax is cooler! Hemp is also cooler, for much the same reasons. Cheaper hemp and linen clothing looks terrible because of all the wrinkles! But I got a tunic at A sports store on 70% off and it is amazing! Looks great right out of the dryer.😊
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!❤ I live in the USA and I can't find any Jewish orthodox store in my state. I can't even find them on line and my stores in my state don't even carry skirts😢. Can you suggest any good store online?
Thank you for another interesting and informative video. I love the clothing you've chosen but it's way too young for me. However I do believe becoming and modest clothing is something every woman should wear. I would really appreciate seeing what is considered in good taste for ladies in the late grandma ages.
I’m not dressing up intentionally modesty, but It’s just way more comfortable for me to be more covered and flowy, especially in summer. Like, how can you wear shorts and tanktop when the sun is blasting like crazy, and those tight fabrics are sticking to your body, not letting the proper air flow and sweat removal. Another story is linen flowy skirts, pants, blouses. Lightweight, alows airflow, dries up quickly, protects from the sun(not uv, but overall from heat), let you move, dance, play, your skin don’t touch and don’t sweat onto nasty public surfaces. BLESSING!! (I refuse cotton at hot days, it keeps moisture a lot and don’t dry fast).
You're so elegant, Sara Malka. The navy eyelet caught my attention. My Style Personality is Natural - less structured, flowing lines. Your topics are creative and videos so classy! Keep up the great work. Thank-you
As a frum woman living in a perpetually humid southern part of USA, I second all your advice. #1 tip is to wear loose natural fabrics. I would add ban spandex on all garments from inside out, top to bottom! My go-to style is a skirt with a loose top. I wear either a 3/4 sleeve or else a short or sleeveless 100% cotton t-shirt/shell that falls from sholder to hip with an open shirt for casual wear or a Channel style boxy collarless jacket for non-casual outfits. Loose sleeves are good because you can hold your armes up and catch the ac when you get in a hot car until cooled down!
Sara, I love staying cool! 😎 Absolutely love your style, the chambray set was stunning! Definitely will try some of your styles/tips as Puerto Rico (where our community is) is very hot 100% of the time. 🥵😃
Another enjoyable video this Sunday afternoon! I always have questions. Are you allowed to wear sandals or flip flops without hosiery on these hot days if you're going out and not just around the house? I love keep cool in the summer even though I prefer it stinking hot over freezing 🥶cold.
This was very helpful as I enjoy dressing beautifully and modestly. Please, why do you usually wear black, navy blue or white for Shabbat, weddings and holidays? Thank you!
Yay Sara so happy to see this post! I love staying cool myself! I gone back through this several times still can’t say which is my favorite. I love denim as well was so interested in that light weight fabric, gonna go searching now. I don’t wear pants and it’s rare I can purchase a modest dress or skirt that I can actually try on. Have a great week as always loved the vide🌸
In my country it is too hot in summer (30-40°C/86-104°F) for me to wear a shell or something else under my clothes. I do that just in winter. So I try to find something long enough and not transparent. Do You have some aditional tips how to do it in really hot climate? I can use Your tips in spring or autumn, but not in summer. I try to find new possibilities. 😊
I love staying cool! That's a necessity where I live, in the SE USA, where the humidity is killer. I have a couple of very breezy, cool tops I wear a lot, but the button up neckline is a little low. So, I use a pretty pin to close the neckline at the top, and it works great. I'm OK with my elbows showing, but I do have a couple of tank tops I wear if my blouse is a little too sheer. Layering does have one advantage: when it's 95 degrees outside, restaurants are usually freezing, so it's good to go inside and not have chillbumps during the entire meal! I love all your videos and look forward to the days you upload. Shalom! ♥
I found, while on a trip to Egypt last month (July) that to keep cool and modest, wear loose fitting cotton or linen clothing. Traditional Egyptians do, men and women both. Even when the temperatures climbed to 114 degrees F, I was no hotter than I would have been at home wearing less modest clothing. Of course I wore sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat and stayed hydrated.
Hi Sara, I don't know if you have already done a video about education. I would find it very interesting how the secular and religious teaching/education is blended, or kept separate, and how it might differ between girls and boys. You have obviously shattered the misconception of an Orthodox Jewish wife and Momma only working in the home.
I love all your outfits and I would wear many of them. I am not Jewish but I do dress modestly for the most part. I love loose, flowy dresses. The first dress is one I would definitely wear. I loved it.
I'm curious about how the orthodox community deals with individuals that are neurodivergent, who, say, can't function with clothing covering/touching their collar bones, elbows, or knees. Is this a thing you have encountered?
The pastel colors look lovely on you as well as you head covering appliqués. Personally I’m a very warmed natured gal not sure I could tolerate so many layers even though the are light weight fabric. Thanks for sharing.
All the outfits are truly beautiful on you.Also I couldn’t not notice how your fitness efforts paid off. I would love to know more about what routine do you follow. Also would love to know a bit about how do you do all what you do and graciously? Meaning being a Dr, have small kids,making the videos, dress immaculately and all those other things you share with us. I feel when I focus on one area I lack a bit on the other/s.Would love to Lear to be better in all areas in once (and be so balanced) all the time.
Several years ago I made the commitment to be modest full time, as well as covering my hair. It’s not always been easy living in a small town. I do also prefer mostly natural fibers like linen, cotton, wool, etc but it does limit my options as well.
@@theherbalsanctuary811 I think it’s a common problem🤣 I started using strong clips to keep things on, and will sometimes even use the tichel style, like Sara, and that for sure stays on for me because it’s further forward onto the forehead a bit. But yes, there are times I resort to baseball caps (cute ones if I can find them😜). I am considering even making a little lacy “snood” to cover my bun when I’m wear the baseball caps. My mom made us some when we were little girls and they were so pretty and adorable.
@@mrshippyhebrew8213 I remember snoods! gosh, hadn't thought of those. My mom use to wear a wig, but as the summers here can get into the high 90's and low 100's she stopped and every week would go get her hair teased and styled. then occasionally would wear a head scarf. so many traditions have gone by the wayside. perhaps our young can bring them back.
I've missed you so, and I'm very happy to see you. Love all the great tips for staying cool! You have wonderful taste and style in clothing...all the outfits, even casual, suit you well. Hope the family is doing well and enjoying the summer months! Shalom!
Your outfit ideas in this video really inspired me! I hope you can do more such videos, I like your style and I'm relatively new to tsnius so appreciate ideas on stylish tsnius wear. Was grateful for the US links as well!
I love staying cool -- and i love you, dear Sara! I've recently had to give up wearing pants, as i have a physical disability that i conceal by wearing long skirts. The summers where i live in Northern California are notorious for being hot (over 110° F is quite common), so dressing for the heat can be challenging. While i use many of the tips you suggested, i have one that might help: cotton half slips. Yes, you can buy them almost anywhere online and through catalogs, but i make mine using men's extra-long , lightweight tee shirts. They are absorbent and breathable, get softer with each washing, and don't stick to my legs like nylon. Another trick is talcum powder. Body powder made from corn starch will become a sticky mess, leading to skin rashes. Talc will keep you dry. Best wishes to all for cool, stylish, and blessed summer!
Dear Sara & other women i know i know to hot is also nothing but right now here in The Netherlands it feels like fall so much rain, and it even was the coldest summer days sinds yeaaaaars so please send some heat to here!! Hahaha 🙃 but thanks to the most High we are in good health! And there is no excuse to not buy that cute dress 😉 Wirh love from Holland! ❤🇳🇱
I love staying cool. And I love your vids. I am Christian, but I really enjoy learning about other faiths. You are a blessing & a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Does the store you showed clothes in have a website to shop? The dresses looked beautiful. I love long summer dresses but dislike low necklines and overly tight bodices. Thank you for your lovely channel.
I'm in the UK and currently under an Amber Weather Warning for rain and wind. It is not cool, it is cold and miserable. But I did stay until the end. 😊

I love staying cool. You look so lovely in all of your outfits. I am very happy to read from the comments that there are so many women of different faiths who enjoy dressing modestly. I too dress modestly and I also wear religous undergarments. I would love to try some of the shells that you mentioned as sometimes I won't buy something that is pretty, because it's a little too see through. The shells might be exactly what I need. Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips for staying cool and modest. Oh, by the way, I spotted your favorite scrubbies at Canadian Tire and also at Kitchen Stuff Plus. I hope you have luck getting them, if not just let me know and I will pick some up for you. I am blessed to have you as my TH-cam friend.
Hi Sarah, i was wondering if you could share the store that you were at the name of it. Also can you order from them on line? I love the dresses and skirts that they have. Sometimes it is so hard for me to find clothes that are modest especially during the summer. Thanks for sharing, you look so lovely the way you dress. Love you sweet friend. Have blessed and wonderful day.
People very much misunderstand when they think being covered makes you hotter. It can, especially if you’re wearing tight fitting synthetic fiber clothes. But I worked at an 1850’s living history farm in the Southern US for two summers. I wore a cotton dress that went from neck to wrists to ankle with at least two petticoats underneath and an apron pretty much all the time. I also wore a cotton day cap as well (thin cotton bonnet). Having the sun hit your skin can really heat you up! When you sweat in cotton, it evaporates off the cotton and cools you. A full, breezy skirt really helps too since it touches your skin very little. Plus wearing a sun hat will keep more heat off. I wore a straw sun bonnet with a flap in the back to cover my neck. This allowed me to work out in our garden without being miserable even in 90°F (32°C) heat. And if people don’t believe me, look at Middle Eastern countries where loose-fitting light colored clothing is standard.
I used to do Medieval reenactment, and one thing you will be told over and over is to use natural fabrics. Our group used to take part in Canada Day celebrations and I once wore a lightweight wool dress with a cotton underdress. All those people who asked if I was too hot looked like lobsters at the end of the day. TBH, I was not 'cool' but also not unpleasantly warm.
Absolutely beautiful Sarah! I'm not an orthodox Jew, but your tips in this video are very on point and helpful to those of us who are trying to be modest. Thank you. If you get tired of being a doctor.... Perhaps you can be a stylist! I also want to say the words you say at the end of your videos are incredibly powerful. Thank you!
I love staying cool! Another thing to consider for those that may worry about heat-- the direct sun on your skin feels much hotter than most breathable fabrics! Im in central Texas where we have been having over 100° days most of the summer and even a navy colored sleeve has made my skin more comfortable than the harsh sun (light colors work best though)
Absolutely true!!
Excellent point!
I love staying cool. My favorite outfits are all that included chambray.
I love embellishing my head coverings with sparkly headbands! It’s so much fun! At an antique store I found some old clip earring that were so fun. I would never wear them as earrings but I clipped them to a fold on my scarf.
I like staying cool! I'm a catholic and have similar modesty rules.
Wonderful to see another video. For me the sleeveless shells are too warm. Thanks for another informative video. Pleasure to see you again 😊
You look especially lovely in the blue dresses & head scarves! Thank you for sharing, and I hope your kiddos have a great end of summer.
I love staying cool!! I liked the chambray outfit- beautiful!
I was so excited to see you today! We also believe in modesty, although not as covered as your standards. Thank you for sharing your faith and gentle ways with us. PS-have you been losing weight? You look great!
I love staying cool
I love stay cool
All the outfits were lovely and stylish and the embellishments were gorgeous. The heat index here is 110 so yes, I love staying cool. 💛🤟💛
Hi Sarah… such beautiful ideas. Love how you say chambray. It sounds so elegant said your way.
I love staying cool. Thank you as always, and my favorite was the last outfit. It is beautiful, playful and simply adorable. 😊
Hi Sarah , love your video and I love staying cool❤
I love staying cool too 💜☮️
I love your content. Your videos exude respect for other religions and cultures while showing pride and educating people about your way of life. I also love how kind you are and I admire you for letting women know they can care for their children and have a fulfilling career and it isn’t mutually exclusive. If no one has told you this today you are valued and loved 🥰
I love staying cool
Hi Sarah! I'm a Catholic bride planning my wedding next summer. It's so hot where I live, it is hard to find a "summer" wedding dress that meets my standards of modesty (also I don't believe in spending so much on a dress for one day!) Trying on the fitted gowns also makes me self conscious about my body, usually I wear loose fitting dresses & blouses. This video made my day, thank you!
Hi Emma!
congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I am so delighted to hear that great news!!!
if I may please wear what fits right for you
Also , if I may share something a bit more personal on my wedding day I had a very heavy dress, but it was the dress in which I felt the most princess like and I felt so beautiful I chose it and never regretted it. I never even felt the weight of the dress and I absolutely loved my pictures. Praying for G.od to give you the address of your dream, many hugs and k
Mormon wedding dresses. They usually cover to the collarbone and have sleeves.
@@frumitup Thank you Sarah! ❤️
Blessings on your wedding! May your marriage be a blessing.
Emma, please visit your local thrift stores. They often have lovely gowns at lovely prices. And don't worry about your body; God will be looking at your soul. Isn't it nice to have a place where all sorts of modest women can share ideas? Good luck with the dress hunt and enjoy your princess day!
As a Jewish woman, I truly appreciate all of your tips for dressing modestly. You are always such an inspiration!
Awww thank you Melinda 🥰🥰🥰
I’m a Christian woman who likes to dress modestly and you just showed me where I can find slips, which are so hard to find these days! I’d definitely wear some of these outfits, which I find more appropriate for a woman of nearly 60. Thank you!
Yes!! I also prefer to dress modestly- and shopping for beautiful classy clothing is a struggle in our American culture. Great topic! Hope to see more like this video!
@@yourstruly9448, it truly is and it's frustrating. But, I keep at it because I'm only going to dress to glorify God!
@@westberry1 Hi Westberry, as Sara's moderator I thought I would look into this for you. I found an online company in Florida and one in Israel. Yes, it can get very warm in Florida so I listed a couple of options. I would say to always check fabric content. I hope this is helpful. 🥰

@@Shoshi2048 thank you so much, I have been looking and asking some of my Jewish colleagues. These are reasonable prices and I could afford those. Thank you so much.
I'm not religious so i dont dress to any particular style but i just wanted to say how beautiful and elegantly you dress. I cant put an outfit together at all, you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing!
I live in the Dallas, Texas, area. Today is 108. I wear midi skirts and long-sleeved crew neck cotton knit tops constantly in the summer. Cotton absorbs and is ultra comfortable. It works for me, and I never have to think about the propriety of my appearance.
Sounds great!
Sara you are so classy, pretty and stylish! I love staying cool! Natural fibers are my favorite tip. I adore how expressive your style is without compromising your ideals. If anyone tells me you can’t look cute while dressing modestly, I will point them to you! Frum but never frumpy! (Unless you wanted to be)
You are so sweet Kelly, thank you so so much 🥰🥰🥰
Your comment touched me so much and it will go in my comment book hall of fame
Yes! Linen, hemp & cotton are a summer must! I love staying cool
Hi Sara. I've been looking so forward to one of your videos! They're always so interesting, fun and educational about Jewish life. 😄
thank you Amelia! I Am so happy you are here!
I love staying cool and I love how peaceful you make me feel. I needed you today. Thank you! 😊
awww praying for your soul to be at peace and for you to feel uplifted xoxoxo
Sara, I love your fashion sense and creativity with your head scarves. You look absolutely wonderful! Stay cool during these warm months. 💗
Thank you! You too sweet Monica:)
Sadly, something that most people don't seem to realize but that I firmly believe, is that people look much better covered up than they do showing so much skin. I am not Jewish, but I was raised to dress in a modest fashion and today, some 40 years since my parents passed away, I find myself dressing the way they taught me to dress. The outfits you modeled were beautiful and you sacrificed NOTHING by being modest!
Thank you for your kind words 🥰🥰🥰
I agree with you most people are more beautiful covering than exposed!
As a modest Christian woman, I dress modestly. I tell folks that I am a female by DNA, a girl at heart, a woman by age, but a lady by choice.
Great video! I make most my own clothes. I’m tall too, 5’11” and it’s a struggle to find things that fit me and see modest. I’m loving the current “boho” styles that are similar to what I wore in high school in the 1970’s. I made your baked donuts the other day and they came out great! I ran out of all purpose flour and had to use bread flour for part of it and they were still light and fluffy. Take care!
I LOVE fellow tall girlies!!
We have to stand united 🥰
I loved making my own clothes but to be honest I’m so short on time !!
Hello Sarah it’s been a long I missed you so much am so excited you’re back 💃🏽
Yay! Thank you!
My favorites are the white skirt with the shirt and tuniqe so beautiful ❤ so glad you are back , apart from mourning I hope everything was fine during the three weeks, my regards to everyone xoxoxoxo
Dear Ma'am
Today you made me smile. I was in the hospital emergency room for 8.5 hours trying to achieve a normal sinus rhythm and get my blood pressure under 200. Turns out i was experiencing a thyroid storm. Viewing you, hearing your happy voice helped me through this day. Blessings on you.
I love staying cool! I don’t follow any religious modesty guidelines but I do cover myself more conscientiously in the summer to protect myself from the sun. I love pairing a sheer/see-through garment with a solid base layer, it’s one of my favorite combos! Thank you son much for another wonderful video ❤
Sara not only do I love staying cool, I am blown away by how ingenious your dressing is. Getting the look AND staying modest AND cool. Cant beat it.
You are adorable , thank you
I missed your posts greatly and am glad I get the chance to tell you that your focus on God has been a wonderful example and motivator to me. Thank you again for sharing God’s love with us all.
I love staying cool!! Welcome back Sara you must have been a busy Doctor Mommy with those kiddoes this summer! As a male who is a fan of your channel, I just wanted to add for men all the tips also apply, just that our clothing is generally cheaper, or so I have heard! Having grown up in New York and Florida, I learned very early about the benefits of long sleeves as protection from sun and bugs!
My summer “uniform” includes long sleeve 100% cotton or linen shirts, which I too layer with a cotton short sleeved white cotton T shirt paired with 100% Khaki “Docker” style pants. I also will wear a long sleeved light blue, beige or pastel T-shirt alone or layer it with a short sleeve cotton linen shirt over if it is very hot.
My reasons for my male modesty are that as a larger person of Jewish and Italian (i.e. hairy) descent, I just never liked that image of the guy sitting on his front stoop in a sleeveless T shirt! Plus I find exposed sweaty underarms (like when waving to a friend) really gross. In an effort to never appear sloppy, this look has worked for me. Yes I will wear shorts, but with age related things like swollen legs paired with cellulitis I try to spare my adoring public!
As I my journey back to Judaism, perhaps my already modest choice in attire will pay off! Thank you again for your kindness and generous nature Sara! I live alone, so hearing an extra expression of love from another is much appreciated!
Hugs, Michael Albuquerque NM USA
PS I do LOVE wearing sandals all summer, especially with freshly pedicured feet! In New Mexico its a nice treat and pretty much a three season choice,
I remember a time when leaving the house in a dress without a slip was unheard of. Now, they're so hard to find. Not only are they wonderful for preserving modesty, but they also improve the line of the dress and feel luxurious against the skin.
I have started wearing a half slip as when I sit in a dress or skirt, they stick to my legs. I hate making a spectacle of myself trying to unstick I my garment and the slip helps.
@@IrishAnnieanother tip for that is to wear long bike shorts! Mine reach minimum to my knees, and help prevent chafing as well as accidental flashing.
@@SpringStarFangirl That’s a great idea! That way, I don’t have to worry about my slip sliding down. Thank you so much!!!! They are most likely slendering.
@@IrishAnnie I don't notice much of a slendering effect, but there, I do have more of a pear shape. I tend to sit in weird positions, so a slip just wouldn't cut it for me- I've been wearing shorts under my skirts for as long as I can remember.
@@SpringStarFangirl Me, too! For years, I worked with elementary school children. I would always wear bike shorts under my skirts because of windy days on the playground
I'm Catholic and follow similar modesty rules. This was a great video! Thank you.
As do I! I need to find some of those shells!
@giraffesinc.2193 I order mine from kosher casual. They come from Israel
@@amandajames5351 Thank you!!!! Oh my goodness, I just looked ... they have everything!!
@@amandajames5351 thanks for the tip.
@@amandajames5351Do they have plus sizes? The ads I see on my phone only show young ladies.
Hello Sarah, I was so happy to see you posted a new video. You’re my all time favorite TH-camr. I’ve always dressed modestly because it’s how I feel more comfortable. I’ve been criticized for this and after watching your video I saw I made the right choice. You have a great sense of style. Your calm demeanor and soft voice is very relaxing. Thank you and welcome back ❤
Btw: I love to stay cool
Oh thank you!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Though I myself and not Jewish I adore your videos. Learning of other faiths always interest me. Very soothing and informative. Thank you so much
I love your pretty outfits. Is it possible to show how a plus size woman options and what they can do to stay modest. As a plus size woman I would have difficulty. I try to be modest in my own way but finding clothes that fit thats a challenge.
Dr. Malka - love your channel! Every outfit you showcased were beautiful and winners 🥇 The light colored blouses and skirts with flow and movement were exquisite 👍 . By accessorizing with jewelry and using appliqués placed the cherry on the cake! Well done!
You look fabulous! Not as if you weren't perfect before, but your fitness efforts are VERY EVIDENT and you are beyond gorgeous. ❤ this is absolutely wonderful, I am so happy for you, Sarah!
I noticed the same thing! Sarah is so fit & strong! She looks amazing.
@frumitup If you haven't already, maybe share how you keep both modest & fit? I can't stand the immodesty and lewdness in gyms, so I gave them up, but would like some modest alternatives so I can stay strong & healthy. Shalom aleichem!
I grew up in what is, essentially, the desert. It doesn't make sense to wear less clothes when attempting to stay cool, the sun just roasts more of you more efficiently. Wearing loose clothes that cover as much skin as possible keep me the coolest when the temperatures rise above 100 degrees. I do love to stay cool❤
I live in Australia and every inch of skin that is not covered has to be slathered in sunscreen so you don't get skin cancer, and the sun will just heat up your skin anyway, so I wear cotton boho dresses skirts and shirts. I love all the colours and patterns too.
Hello, Sarah, God bless you and your family. I have come to appreciate dressing modest and it's much more to my taste. I find not dressing modestly is uncomfortable and I feel self conscious. Thank you for sharing how you dress modestly and still look amazing. It was such a wonderful blessing to see and hear your voice.❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
and PS I am like you: I LOVE DRESSING MODESTLY and without it : it feels very uncomfortable!
xoxox have a blessed week!
Same. I've always been on the large side, and wearing tight or revealing clothing always made me self conscious of certain features of my body. I gravitated towards modest/conservative styles of clothing for that reason, and I'm much more comfortable in my skin for it.
A hot weather tip: spray the underskirt or slip with a sprayer in a very fine mist, not enough to dampen the top layer. Its like instant air-conditioning! I do this with my costumes at Renaissance fairs, and really, i feel cooler in the long skirts than in shorter skirts.
I love staying cool! 🥰
I enjoyed this video very much! I saw another Catholic woman watched/watches your videos and I am also Catholic enjoying your content. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you!
I don't think I could wear these kinds of clothes. For one, anything around my neck feels like I am being strangled. Secondly, menopause. lol The hot flashes are awful. But you look pretty in the clothes.
Shout out for me. Walked into Walmart and found some long t shirt style dresses for $11 !!!!
Thankfully I have a lot of duster, kimono and cover ups to pair.
You have such a fun fashion sense! I love all the little extra bits you add to your headscarves, and the color & pattern combinations you make in your outfits. All the different variations of shells seem very useful.
Shalom Sarah! "I love staying cool!!"
I so appreciate your modest and cool clothing advice! Your head coverings are beautiful!!
I am in the conversion process to Orthodox Judaism and changing my life on every level. Clothing is so important!
Thank you so much for the links also!
Hi Sarah! I love your fashion sense and style, especially the accoutrements to your head scarf! My mother is a devout Catholic and follows similar clothing practices - looser clothing, tasteful jewelry and low key shirts. Thank you for working so hard to bring us wonderful videos of Orthodox culture and practices-blessings to you and your family!
I love staying cool! My coworkers might poke fun at my "hippie" skirts, but those skirts are 100% cotton and so, so comfortable on these hot summer days. (I've made several all-cotton ruffled slips to wear under them too!) I'm not even religious, but I love being covered up and comfortable all year long.
I love that what you show is *actually* modest.
Good morning all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. I thoroughly enjoy you're content as a young Christian wife striving to be a woman dear to God's heart. I have been dressing modestly for a while now and honestly I've never felt more comfortable and confident. Reading about woman like Deborah and Esther in the Bible shows me examples of woman who are near to God's heart and I see them a role models. ❤
Thank you Nadine: I feel the same way : protected, confident , accompanied by G.od
May G.od bless your path with love and success sweet friend 🥰🥰🥰
I am also from Cape Town South Africa! We love you, Sarah! You’re inspirational!❤
@@nicolefenner awwww thank youuuuuuuu
Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks and these lovely modest outfit inspirations. I live in the south where it is quite warm, and the hot sticky summer months seem to drag by. Dressing modestly during this season can be tricky, and it is practically impossible to find modest clothing at local stores, except at thrift stores. I try to find fabrics that are light weight, but thick enough I don't have to layer in the summer, flowy bottoms, and light colors. I would love to find more online options that offer modest clothing at decent prices; if anyone has any suggestions, thanks in advance.
I love staying cool! Your outfits are similar to what I would wear year round, I live close to the equator and modest dressing is norm. Layering, natural fabrics, loose clothing, light fabrics are really help to beat the heat. I will try to get the Chambray too. Head covering is also good for the hair. Good to have you back Sara after a long break ❤
Hi, Sara! I agree 100% about the natural fabrics. Synthetic fabrics are so hot. I love your beautiful jewelry and scarf embellishments. You look so elegant!❤
I absolutely LOVE your pink shirt dress, it is SO beautiful! ( edited: I read the links!)
I am so inspired by your ornaments on your tichel. I’m not orthodox but I like to protect my hair in the summer.
Again, you bring such joy and beauty to my TH-cam subscriptions.
Thank you 💛
I love staying cool! And I love watching you stay cool. :D My Beloved just spent three days in hospital (she is out now and getting better!) and, since I cannot drive, I spent the three days with her. I am a retired Certified Nursing Assistant, so I gave her round the clock care, allowing the hospital's nursing staff to attend to other patients. We had not expected to spend three days away from home, so I had only the clothing I was in when she was admitted! Ohhhh what bliss to get home and change! :D
But it did show me something. While our city was sweltering under high heat, my Beloved and I were shivering, teeth chattering in a COLD hospital room! So I will ask you, as a physician, if you are attending people in hospital, please ASK them if they are too cold or too hot! To a hospital worker, walking here and there, in different temperatures in the hallways, treatment rooms and patient rooms, you may not know how cold these rooms can get! I am sure the temperature in my sweet partner's room actually hindered her recovery! Thank you so much for paying attention! You are a wonderful and caring person!
A cotton slip!? What a treat! I am so excited! I LOVE DRESS SHOPPING AND MODEST IS HOTTEST ! (I mean that modesty is the. It’s desirable)
I love staying cool! My favorite tip was to wear natural fabrics. Cotton is a good choice but linen is better. Linen comes from the flax plant and it has very long stalks and pretty flowers all the way at the top. This means the plant has to draw water allll the way up that long stem! When turned into fabric this means that it is good at drawing moisture away from your body and absorbing it. Linen is unfortunately not very common but I have found nice pieces at the thrift store and on sites like etsy and poshmark.
Thankyou for your interesting explanation of why flax is cooler! Hemp is also cooler, for much the same reasons. Cheaper hemp and linen clothing looks terrible because of all the wrinkles! But I got a tunic at A sports store on 70% off and it is amazing! Looks great right out of the dryer.😊
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!❤ I live in the USA and I can't find any Jewish orthodox store in my state. I can't even find them on line and my stores in my state don't even carry skirts😢. Can you suggest any good store online?
Thank you for another interesting and informative video. I love the clothing you've chosen but it's way too young for me. However I do believe becoming and modest clothing is something every woman should wear. I would really appreciate seeing what is considered in good taste for ladies in the late grandma ages.
I’m not dressing up intentionally modesty, but It’s just way more comfortable for me to be more covered and flowy, especially in summer. Like, how can you wear shorts and tanktop when the sun is blasting like crazy, and those tight fabrics are sticking to your body, not letting the proper air flow and sweat removal.
Another story is linen flowy skirts, pants, blouses. Lightweight, alows airflow, dries up quickly, protects from the sun(not uv, but overall from heat), let you move, dance, play, your skin don’t touch and don’t sweat onto nasty public surfaces. BLESSING!!
(I refuse cotton at hot days, it keeps moisture a lot and don’t dry fast).
Hurray
You're so elegant, Sara Malka. The navy eyelet caught my attention.
My Style Personality is Natural - less structured, flowing lines.
Your topics are creative and videos so classy! Keep up the great work.
Thank-you
As a frum woman living in a perpetually humid southern part of USA, I second all your advice. #1 tip is to wear loose natural fabrics. I would add ban spandex on all garments from inside out, top to bottom! My go-to style is a skirt with a loose top. I wear either a 3/4 sleeve or else a short or sleeveless 100% cotton t-shirt/shell that falls from sholder to hip with an open shirt for casual wear or a Channel style boxy collarless jacket for non-casual outfits. Loose sleeves are good because you can hold your armes up and catch the ac when you get in a hot car until cooled down!
Sara, I love staying cool! 😎 Absolutely love your style, the chambray set was stunning! Definitely will try some of your styles/tips as Puerto Rico (where our community is) is very hot 100% of the time. 🥵😃
Another enjoyable video this Sunday afternoon! I always have questions. Are you allowed to wear sandals or flip flops without hosiery on these hot days if you're going out and not just around the house? I love keep cool in the summer even though I prefer it stinking hot over freezing 🥶cold.
This was very helpful as I enjoy dressing beautifully and modestly. Please, why do you usually wear black, navy blue or white for Shabbat, weddings and holidays? Thank you!
Yay Sara so happy to see this post! I love staying cool myself! I gone back through this several times still can’t say which is my favorite. I love denim as well was so interested in that light weight fabric, gonna go searching now. I don’t wear pants and it’s rare I can purchase a modest dress or skirt that I can actually try on. Have a great week as always loved the vide🌸
thank you sweetie! Happy shopping and may G.od helps you find what you love and look fabulous in! xoxoxo
In my country it is too hot in summer (30-40°C/86-104°F) for me to wear a shell or something else under my clothes. I do that just in winter. So I try to find something long enough and not transparent. Do You have some aditional tips how to do it in really hot climate? I can use Your tips in spring or autumn, but not in summer. I try to find new possibilities. 😊
I thank G-d for You
awwww thank you : your comment touched my soul :) xoxoxox
I love staying cool! That's a necessity where I live, in the SE USA, where the humidity is killer. I have a couple of very breezy, cool tops I wear a lot, but the button up neckline is a little low. So, I use a pretty pin to close the neckline at the top, and it works great. I'm OK with my elbows showing, but I do have a couple of tank tops I wear if my blouse is a little too sheer. Layering does have one advantage: when it's 95 degrees outside, restaurants are usually freezing, so it's good to go inside and not have chillbumps during the entire meal! I love all your videos and look forward to the days you upload. Shalom! ♥
I found, while on a trip to Egypt last month (July) that to keep cool and modest, wear loose fitting cotton or linen clothing. Traditional Egyptians do, men and women both. Even when the temperatures climbed to 114 degrees F, I was no hotter than I would have been at home wearing less modest clothing. Of course I wore sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat and stayed hydrated.
That is amazing Paula! I hope
You enjoyed your trip!!
Hi Sara, I don't know if you have already done a video about education. I would find it very interesting how the secular and religious teaching/education is blended, or kept separate, and how it might differ between girls and boys. You have obviously shattered the misconception of an Orthodox Jewish wife and Momma only working in the home.
I love all your outfits and I would wear many of them. I am not Jewish but I do dress modestly for the most part. I love loose, flowy dresses. The first dress is one I would definitely wear. I loved it.
i love loose things too and the 1st dress is a must for me too as you can dress it up or down!
have a greta day and thank yo for being here!
I'm curious about how the orthodox community deals with individuals that are neurodivergent, who, say, can't function with clothing covering/touching their collar bones, elbows, or knees. Is this a thing you have encountered?
Hello Sara! So good to see you dressing cool and looking elegant. I love staying cool too! Love to you and your family. 💕
The pastel colors look lovely on you as well as you head covering appliqués. Personally I’m a very warmed natured gal not sure I could tolerate so many layers even though the are light weight fabric.
Thanks for sharing.
I love staying cool! You've been missed ❤
You're the best! thank you for your kind words!
All the outfits are truly beautiful on you.Also I couldn’t not notice how your fitness efforts paid off. I would love to know more about what routine do you follow. Also would love to know a bit about how do you do all what you do and graciously? Meaning being a Dr, have small kids,making the videos, dress immaculately and all those other things you share with us. I feel when I focus on one area I lack a bit on the other/s.Would love to Lear to be better in all areas in once (and be so balanced) all the time.
Im not Jewish but my mother taught me how to stay modest while out of the house. Not all of our bits need to be seen in public.
I agree!
Hello. A very interesting video. Could you talk about what you wear to work,which I believe is in the ICU setting.
Several years ago I made the commitment to be modest full time, as well as covering my hair. It’s not always been easy living in a small town. I do also prefer mostly natural fibers like linen, cotton, wool, etc but it does limit my options as well.
So true!
I tried to cover my head more, but the only thing that will stay on my head are baseball caps....hahaha.....everything else slides off.
@@theherbalsanctuary811 I think it’s a common problem🤣 I started using strong clips to keep things on, and will sometimes even use the tichel style, like Sara, and that for sure stays on for me because it’s further forward onto the forehead a bit. But yes, there are times I resort to baseball caps (cute ones if I can find them😜). I am considering even making a little lacy “snood” to cover my bun when I’m wear the baseball caps. My mom made us some when we were little girls and they were so pretty and adorable.
@@mrshippyhebrew8213 I remember snoods! gosh, hadn't thought of those. My mom use to wear a wig, but as the summers here can get into the high 90's and low 100's she stopped and every week would go get her hair teased and styled. then occasionally would wear a head scarf. so many traditions have gone by the wayside. perhaps our young can bring them back.
@mrshippyhebrew8213 the grip band or velvet band changed my head covering days! The one from wrapenzul are great!
Beautiful outfits. Thank you for sharing. I love learning about your culture and religion. I love staying cool.
I've missed you so, and I'm very happy to see you. Love all the great tips for staying cool! You have wonderful taste and style in clothing...all the outfits, even casual, suit you well. Hope the family is doing well and enjoying the summer months! Shalom!
I love everything you wore in this video!❤
You always look beautiful!
I love staying cool!!
❤🎉 Yay! I'm so glad to see you are back, sweet Sara! ❤🎉
thank you to be here sweet KAren: I missed you terribly!
Your outfit ideas in this video really inspired me! I hope you can do more such videos, I like your style and I'm relatively new to tsnius so appreciate ideas on stylish tsnius wear. Was grateful for the US links as well!
I love staying cool -- and i love you, dear Sara!
I've recently had to give up wearing pants, as i have a physical disability that i conceal by wearing long skirts. The summers where i live in Northern California are notorious for being hot (over 110° F is quite common), so dressing for the heat can be challenging. While i use many of the tips you suggested, i have one that might help: cotton half slips. Yes, you can buy them almost anywhere online and through catalogs, but i make mine using men's extra-long , lightweight tee shirts. They are absorbent and breathable, get softer with each washing, and don't stick to my legs like nylon.
Another trick is talcum powder. Body powder made from corn starch will become a sticky mess, leading to skin rashes. Talc will keep you dry.
Best wishes to all for cool, stylish, and blessed summer!
P.S. I have the same chambray dress from Walmart 😊
Dear Sara & other women i know i know to hot is also nothing but right now here in The Netherlands it feels like fall so much rain, and it even was the coldest summer days sinds yeaaaaars so please send some heat to here!! Hahaha 🙃 but thanks to the most High we are in good health! And there is no excuse to not buy that cute dress 😉 Wirh love from Holland! ❤🇳🇱
I love staying cool. And I love your vids. I am Christian, but I really enjoy learning about other faiths. You are a blessing & a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so so much!
Does the store you showed clothes in have a website to shop? The dresses looked beautiful. I love long summer dresses but dislike low necklines and overly tight bodices. Thank you for your lovely channel.
I'm in the UK and currently under an Amber Weather Warning for rain and wind. It is not cool, it is cold and miserable. But I did stay until the end. 😊
ohh nooonnnnnn i pray your days will be back to sunny and hotter very soon!

I love staying cool. You look so lovely in all of your outfits. I am very happy to read from the comments that there are so many women of different faiths who enjoy dressing modestly. I too dress modestly and I also wear religous undergarments. I would love to try some of the shells that you mentioned as sometimes I won't buy something that is pretty, because it's a little too see through. The shells might be exactly what I need. Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips for staying cool and modest. Oh, by the way, I spotted your favorite scrubbies at Canadian Tire and also at Kitchen Stuff Plus. I hope you have luck getting them, if not just let me know and I will pick some up for you. I am blessed to have you as my TH-cam friend.
Hi Sarah, i was wondering if you could share the store that you were at the name of it. Also can you order from them on line? I love the dresses and skirts that they have. Sometimes it is so hard for me to find clothes that are modest especially during the summer. Thanks for sharing, you look so lovely the way you dress. Love you sweet friend. Have blessed and wonderful day.
