    Jock,

    Thank you for doing this! It is really great to see how it is "really" done and have the opportunity to see the way colours can work together without being excessively matchy.

    Since I'm still getting used to seeing a mix of patterns and colours (especially with the tartan of the kilt added to the mix), I had to take things in a little at a time to really see how everything fit together. The first thing I did was hold up two fingers and covered your kilt in the picture - I really think that helps to show how very well the various accessories work together (and was an experiment on my theory that the kilt is "neutral" or, as The Wizard of BC put it, "can stand on its own").
    Once I moved my fingers, I was able to see how the hose also brought out the red line in the tartan of the kilt.
    I still think first looking at an outfit without thinking too much about the kilt is really a great way for us who are trying to develop a "Highland eye for the foreign guy".

    Thanks again, Jock, you're looking great as always!
