So, not only did I resemble a Russian with my dark hair, I (in my 'Soviet flag') dressed like some Bohemian/Hippy also. Wonderful :) At least my Russian neighbours at the studio will have appreciated it. Primark items having the 50/50 chance of being destroyed the first wash though, has seen my dress succumb to the bin, and thus no longer having the ability to offend the Estonians who quietly go about their daily business :(

My nice red dress :)
I had a red dress, bought at Primark so no expense spared, and wore it over here which got me numerous stares and looks of bewilderment. It only dawned on Jon much later that my dress was, infact, about the same colour as the soviet flag. I learned that practically no Estonian woman would ever wear red/scarlet (a sort of unwritten rule). My dress was a sort of tube thing and therefore had the distinct possibility that I may have looked like I had just tied the Soviet flag around me.
