I wore my kilt for the first time out of the house on December 26. It was only a quick trip to the grocery store, but I felt the longer I waited the more nervous I would get.

I didn't notice any "looks", but I'm sure there were some from behind my back. At one point, I thought I heard the word "kilt" from behind me. It didn't sound negative, more like just an observation, so I didn't turn around.

While in the produce section, a man walked past and said "You sure are brave wearing that, and I don't mean just the cold." I smiled and told him that I hadn't had any negative comments yet. He said that was good and added that he had Scottish heritage and something about wanting to wearing a kilt. I have to admit that I was so prepared for negative comments that I wasn't sure what to say in response to a positive one. I completely forgot about mentioning this website (please forgive me).

I'm now looking forward to going out again kilted and I'll be more prepared for any positive comments that may come my way.
