What to do when you don't have all the kilt kit?
A couple of things... I'm attending a wedding in T-minus 48hrs. On a farm outside Minneapolis, where it's cold and might be raining/snowing from last weather report.
Issue: No Semi-Dress/Dress Sporran
I had hoped I'd've found the perfect semi-dress sporran by now but I haven't so I'm going to have to 'make do' with what I've got, which is ok but not perfect... so which one?
Option #1
Simple black leather sporran with silver clasp. It has a celtic design embossed but it's really only seen in certain light.
Option #2
Brand spanking new Black/Dark Brown Freelander sporran.
I'm shooting for Option #1 but I do love my Freelander and it's so roomy!
Issue: Shoes
I don't have any appropriate kilt shoes for now so...
Option #1
Shiny black dress shoes
Option #2
Semi-dressy (not shiny) pair of black shoes that have a silver buckle on the side.
I'm leaning towards #2 though they're not super dressy. But I don't care if they get messed up, they're comfortable and they look "ok" with what I've got going on already.
I'm also thinking along the lines of - if my sporran isn't 'dressy' then should my shoes be? Should I try to "match" my accessories (if you will) not just in terms of color but style?
I know pictures would be ideal of outfit options but I've been getting home so late this week, the only thing I want to do is sleep. I will post pictures after - to prove it happened.
Cheers,
