So my dear, sweet hubby Christopher hasn't really had much of a chance to wear the kilt lately. Sometimes he can get a little shy about it, but most of that is due to lack of accessories and wanting to still look nice as well as be comfortable.

Tonight, we had two gin martinis before dinner and while he was still a bit tipsy, I wandered out to the living room holding his kilt and saying "You should wear the kilt.... especially when we go for our walk later!"

The challenge was thrown out. I added a few other things in there to taunt him as he thought about it, but I can't remember what I said. I know him... all it takes is that little challenge to make him feel like he has to at least try it. He agreed!

I'm not a big fan of scrunched down socks (I love kilt hose just as much as the kilt), and he didn't want to wear his hose up with his athletic shoes, so he wore some shoes that did work with the kilt and hose but would still be comfortable enough for our 3 mile walk around the neighborhood and a nearby park.

Of course, for once, no one was really out. We were both a little disappointed, but it was still a step in the right direction for another confidence builder. We did pass one guy who was jogging and I could see him looking down out of the corner of his eye at the kilt as we all said hello. Plenty of cars going by, too. The tennis courts and the park were empty and that's where we ended up walking most of the time (there usually are a handful of people out there and sometimes they can be a bit on the obnoxious side).

If it weren't for the fact that Christopher has to finish up something for work tomorrow, he would have taken me out for coffee or to a book store. Rats! Maybe next time. It was just nice to go for a walk with him kilted. I've been wanting him to do that for a long time. So he got to enjoy a nice kilted walk, and I got to enjoy my walk with my handsome kilted hubby! Yay!
