On Sunday I dragged J along to a vintage fashion fair in Bath, which turned out to be the wrong vintage fashion fair rather than the lovely one. So we wasted £5 on entry, but I got a lovely silk dressing gown with holes in it for £10 which I am going to turn into a dress or a skirt... I was also on the hunt for the perfect black t-shirt because THE perfect black t-shirt that I own has developed a strange smell after I lost it for about a year. It wasn't me, I promise. Some stink fairies have infested it.
In the end good old H&M answered my prayers, but on the way we also saw a sign in Monsoon for 50% of everything! Now before you rush to Monsoon that is actually a big fat fucking lie. It was only half off sale items. So after trying loads on, which J saying everything looked lovely & generally being unhelpfully nice, I realised that whilst I would consider paying £23 for a particularly nicely coloured POLYESTER dress, I would not pay £46. No. No. No. But I was surprised how good Monsoon's stuff is actually as I always dismiss them as being a bit mumsey or weddingy. Although they did birth the epic coatigan which stands for at least something.
Anyway long story short, I landed on this yellow skirt that was in the sale. Probably all those Spring/Summer shows filtering into my subconscious making me feel that yellow is a posibility for a pale ginger person. & it is! Evidently. Although only away from my face. Yes. It also has a nice blue zip on the back. Which falls down constantly. Nothing a hook & eye can't fix though... & my New Year's Resolution remains unbroken as J paid for it because I bought lunch.
Nice.
Wow, what does your tattoo say?xx

It is the Dirac equation that predicted antimatter. It was so beautiful that for the rest of his like Paul Dirac campaigned for beauty in mathematical equations. He's also from Bristol like me. So fleetingness/the meaning of life, physics, art & my home town summed up pretty nicely. :)
