    Shades of gray..

    The return to work ensemble. Too tired from the long weekend to deal with sporran and other accessories, so threw this together in about 2 minutes this AM.

    My brain gray matter (sorry couldn't resist) says you look way too comfortable to go to work, but I do like it.

    Nice outfit-I think lighter socks would be better ie. light grey?

    I am very comfortable!

    David, I actually went through that decision. I have some oatmeal hose and was going to put them on, but I was not sure those and the gray in the shirt would match or clash, and I did not have time to walk out of the closet to a window to see them in natural light. Looking at the pic again, I might use them next time.

    Rob, I fear I am getting to be super-critical and it might be best if I refrain from commenting in future - but now that I'm here ...............

    Oatmeal hose? With those greys? No, I don't think so - unless you wear a beige or an oatmeal shirt. David has the right idea: grey hose, the same as or lighter than the kilt, but not darker.

    This where I get to hurt you (and I'm sorry), but why the pyjama top?

    Looks like a "polo shirt" to me.

    I'll have you know that Mickey (as in Mouse) resembles that remark! That is actually a gray polo shirt with blue stripes on the sleeve and collar. From the Mickey 50th anniversary celebration!

    As for the hose, one day I am going to know if I have oatmeal or stone colored hose as the ones I have seem to be on the gray side. But when I look at ones for sale at the Games that are labeled as oatmeal, they appear to be the same color as mine. Oh well, just another little mystery to solve in my spare time. At least I did not wear the cream ones!

    I do like your tree setting. You've inspired me to aim at my neighbor's tree when I'm doing back yard shots.

    Think the color grinches in the monitors may have tweaked your polo color a tad. Probably looks better in person...almost seems glowing and fuzzy on my monitor.
