    Kilting to Make up for a Bad Day

    I've been having a dreadful week. Some cash flow issues, lack of sleep, and being woken up at about 9:30 PM tuesday night by a police officer to tell me my car was a crime scene as two people had succeeded in breaking in, but were seen by 2 of my neighbors who called the police.


    Well, I had to pop into work for a bit today, and although there was no need to "dress up" I decided, a kilt, hose, flashes, sporran, and vest were in order. Being dressed well did a great deal for improving my mood. I grabbed a couple of pics of the outfit.







    It would make my day if my new Alt Kilt showed up today, but its not scheduled for a few more weeks.

    Cheers
    Chris
    I wish I had something funny or profound to put in a signature.

    well put together! but details on your outfit, man, we need details!

    I have to admit that wearing boots and not having the socks scrunched down looked a bit odd.

    It does seem that putting on a Kilt dispels all woes, well almost anyway.

    <I>details on your outfit, man, we need details!</I>
    Black synthetic material shirt by YMLA
    Vest by Alfani (Macy's house brand)
    Belt by Deisel
    Kilt/Flashes: Stillwater Nightstalker ( Heavyweight I think)
    Sporran: Thorfinn Custom Sporrans (I have both a brown flap and a black flap but I broke the button on the black flap and I haven't figured out how to fix it yet )
    Black Cotton Kilt Hose from Hamilton Dry Goods (I'm not fond of wool)
    I'm not sure where my boots came from.


    As a teacher of technical theatre, I spend most of my days on my feet, and I quickly discovered that if I don't want to be in pain, I wear boots . Even though I was going in to just do office work, I really don't own any shoes other than my exercise sneakers, and my gillies (which I don't find comfortable at all). Unless I need to wear something else, I wear boots.

    Any other questions?

    It did make me feel better, but the 104 degree temperature made me shed much of it after I posted the pictures.
