I actually saw Linda Ronstadt in concert in the uniform, and she said that she had bought it at a thrift shop. At the time, Linda Ronstadt was hitting super stardom. I had friends who wanted the "look" and actually went to thrift shops looking for it. So, whenever I saw or see photos of Christine in the shirt, I assumed that she was part of the fad, since, as you say, it's not her style.
Hmm. That's kind of interesting. I've seen pics of her in that shirt and have also wondered why the heck she was wearing it LOL.

BTW I've never seen that particular pic either and I LOVE it; no surprise there. Thanks for sharing it!
