So I had a come to Jesus meeting with my boss today.

I just cannot imagine a female in the OP's position pondering whether to wear a dress, skirt, or pant suit to such a meeting or worrying if her choice will distract.

We have met the enemy - and it is us......

I don't think the OP is worried about that because I read it as he is going to wear the kilt, but trying to figure out the accessories. Almost more of a "come to the Dude" approach.

Are you really saying that you don't see a difference between a woman wearing a skirt and a man wearing a kilt?

No Ron, I don't agree. I do agree women do have a more clear-cut wardrobe choice than us Blokes. They are most fortunate in that respect?

But I disagree on being the enemy within. If the OP was in the hot seat it may be different. But he isn't, he's assisting his colleague who is unable to defend herself. During this meeting there would seem to be an element of 'appeals to better nature' towards someone, who it is implied, doesn't have a better nature.

In my very humble opinion, the last thing the OP should to do is draw fire on their entourage by dressing in a way that is open to misinterpretation (see mention of dress code). The Kilt may only antagonise the opposition who it appears have the final, arbitrary say. Be a shame for the old lady if she got the heave-ho because the hirer and firer feels threatened or challenged by her mates... Softly, softly catches the monkey.

I don't believe this argument is about the rights and wrongs of a man's right to utilise every aspect of his wardrobe whenever he wants. I'm sure if he defiantly dons the Kilt it may become that though. I'm not saying that argument is wrong. but maybe the OP should save it for another time.

Are you white or Native?

It doesn't make a huge difference, but does make a little.

My assumption is that Fairbanks is probably not very staunch and conservative, dress code wise.
