Joey, no need to take a breath. Go with your gut. No need to sugarcoat it. If it feels like 'your betters' from a higher class are deigning to give their oh-so-precious opinions on your choice of clothing, then that's how it feels.

I say wear your kilt proudly for your mother's tribe. My only suggestion for your dress is that you might add three eagle feathers to your bonnet to honor your father's clan.
