    Cool You asked for it....

    This months challenge, (by request in my PM's, it was a great idea)....I want to see pictures of you doing it ALL WRONG.

    Alan,

    I have posted my first kilted outfit photo on XMTS multiple times to help show new members and those new to kilts that we all have a lot to learn when we start out.



    With encouragement, positive feedback, constructive criticism, and friendly advice I learned to come up with outfits that were a bit more... acceptable.


    When I read your challenge I got to thinking about various comments over the years here on XMTS about certain types of outfit failings. One that often pops up is about outfits being "too matchy-matchy" or having too many tartan elements.

    I started to giggle when I thought about how fun it would be to play around with that most familiar of tartans again....BLACK WATCH!

    You asked for doing it wrong Alan, here you go!


    It's a flying haggis, it's a open stone, it's.....












    ...BLACK WATCH MAN !!!!!!!



    Kilt, hat, day plaid, jacket. shirt, and tie all in glorious Black Watch Tartans of various shades and sett sizes with blue hose and green flashes to insure everything is perfectly matchy=matchy!







    Now I can't resist a challenge, so after I took this photo for you and your thread I thought to myself "is there anyway someone could make such a mess of Black Watch work?"



    This was my best shot at trying to do so










    High fashion or an equally complete tartan disaster? You be the judge!



    Cheers ith:


    Jamie
