See, I love vintage and retro look stuff…but it’s very much a pot luck to find something in the right size.
I might go for a modern, tailored ( read: constructed and designed to hide my paunch ) suit.
So far, all I am certain of is that I don’t want a kilt.
I know that being Scottish, I’m “mad for not wanting a kilt” but, it’s just not my thing. I’m at home in a suit. I’m comfortable and happy.
Plus, all kilts look the same to me. There’s no personal choice to it.

Demonstration staged in Queensferry by Sir Benjamin Baker of the structural principle of the bridge. The weight of the engineer Kaichi Watanabe in the centre is supported by the arms of the men on either side acting under tension, and sticks acting in compression.

After like 3 fucking attempts to find this in my local WH Smith, the surprisingly awesome STOCKIST LOCATOR alerted me to the fact that I would need a jaunt to Glasgow to purchase it. So, I shoulda checked that first, I guess. ¬_¬

So, I just ordered it online.

Never read the magazine in my life, but with Missy Malone on the cover? I gotta show my support!

I managed to drag Katie out clothes shopping at the weekend. She hates shopping for clothes.

I had Sophie in a papoose, strapped to me like a kangaroo, with the intent that Katie could then go and try stuff on. I knew before we left that house that was a joke, she never tries thing on ( strongly tied to the, she hates shopping thing ).

We were on the look out for a capsule wardrobe of rusty reds and autumny colours, but I kept get distracted by how many pretty dresses there are about at the minute!
