faking it at the fairgrounds

[opositive]

our friends invited my wife and i to the new orleans fairgrounds for a sunday birthday. i decided to wear the slightly-damaged-sold at a huge discount wool kilt i bought from kiltznmore that just came in saturday. as a newbie, i do not have the flashes, garters, jackets... so i cut a shoelace in half and tied it underneath the hose to keep them from sagging. i safety pinned a suit vest (clearance rack post christmas) to make room for the sporran. since i only wear shoes for working out, i wore my doc martens (used, ebay). so, i was a german-american in a scottish national tartan kilt pretending to know what i was doing. lots of positive comments, and two pictures with strangers. best of all, my outfit drew attention to the party, which made the birthday girl feel extra special as other people stopped to talk to our table.

Well done, opositive. It is quite often not what you wear but how you wear it.

You're the man in the kilt - so you're the expert.

So this was your first outing in a kilt? I'd say you did fantastic!

[Mirthlesstroll]

Great job! You look terrific!

[Dale Seago]

By golly, it works -- and very well, too!!

[McMurdo]

Very well done indeed. I think you illustrate perfectly the idea of wearing what you have with the kilt. Working on an outfit can tike time but one piece at a time really is a good way to go about it.

Not bad at all for faking it. In fact I think you look way better than I did the first month of my kilt wearing life.
On a side point you like like a long lost brother of my best friend growing up.

Cheers and looking forward to more of your pics.
