The August Kilt Pic Challenge: WRONG!!

[Alan H]

As has been pointed out, the point of this thread is for each of us to tattle ON OURSELVES.....not to point fingers at someone else.

I actually do have an outfit which I tried on, once and then did a very rare thing. I went and looked at myself in the mirror. If you think I jest when I say that's a rare thing, you should talk to the Luminous Joan, who constantly is telling me to brush my hair, because...well.... I never see my hair, so it must be fine, right?

Anyway, after a glance in the mirror, I removed most of the "ensemble" I had put together and spent the rest of the day naked. (I jest, I jest) I suppose that I could reprise this for the Rabble, and get a pictures taken. It will be rather along the lines of Jamies last two posts, just with a somewhat different color theme.

black watch man could buy some white chuck taylors then "tartan" them up with blue and green magic markers to complete the ensemble.

You know, Jamie, if that jacket were cut to a proper length of a kilt jacket, and you switched out the shirt to a white one, that outfit would look pretty snazzy.

Black Watch Man is awsome! Hollywood will come a-knockin' with a script idea soon!

About my WRONG, well, I have sinned mightily in the past, the sin being the dreaded American Matchy-Matchy Syndrome (AMMS).

In fact, I'll wager that few have ever gone to such lengths to get it all WRONG.

It was back in the 80s and I was a cheeky young piper with some money and I was working for a Highland Outfitter and I could get anything at cost.

I wanted to put together a nice Day Dress outfit and due to AMMS thought that the more everything matched the better!

Knowing that Balmorals came in a limited number of colours but that jackets could be ordered in a wide variety of tweeds, I bought a nice Balmoral, then went though the tweed swatches until I found the tweed that best matched the Balmoral. I also went to some lengths to find hose the same colour.

Oh, and I wasn't done yet! No, far from it! Because then I got flashes and a necktie the same Claret colour, and actually MADE a bagcover to match!

Here's the result, the ultimate Matchy-Matchy outfit






I actually had it more right before I went to all that trouble, with a vintage (1940s) check tweed jacket I got off a friend's dad



and nowadays I'd never dream of doing things like that

Great pictures OC. You sure know how to put it together.

Um, yeah
