thank you OC Richard for the kind words. and tripleblessed i didnt take your comments as bashing at all, i asked for everyones opinion and expected some members views may not be the same as mine but didnt feel anything negative from what you said. being that i am new to wearing kilts i have not yet built up a collection of accessories and different colored apparel to mix up my look, but i do have a kinda monochromatic look in my everyday attire so would make sense it would transfer over to my kilt style. i was tryn to keep with a traditional look the best i could with my own touch, alot of friends and family felt the look matched my style perfectly.
