I consider myself pretty good at prioritising.

In my previous job-from-hell, there were never enough hours in the day to do everything and consequently, prioritising was something I had to do rather a lot of.

I have stuff to sort out. Some of it is really important. And I have an impending holiday.

Somehow, the latter managed to eclipse the former on Sunday. Priorities went askew.

Instead of sorting out stuff I should have been prioritising, I ended up buying a holiday frock.

Actually, after exhaustive research on Peter Ferrel, the designer of my holiday vintage frockery (I googled him), I am wondering whether it is, in fact, not a frock after all that I have bought, but a nightie.

The only other designs by Peter that I found were dressing gowns, so this seems entirely possible.

However, once I have worked a little alteration magic upon it, I’m sure nobody in Australia will be any the wiser.

And it was possibly the cheapest holiday frock in town.

Plus – added bonus – It’s not crimplene, but cotton.

Good job really.

It’s a little bit warm for manmade fibres in Australia.

It’s a maxi, so once I’ve chopped a chunk off the hemline I’ll have some of that lovely cotton painterly-floral-with-neon-highlights fabric for sewing with too.

So all in all, although my priorities might have gone a bit awry, I think I can live with it. ♥
