I'm actually enjoying it a lot.
Wear it when I get the chance at home, taking the dogs for walks etc. Basically any place I think I can get away with it - ie. not work or in choir. 
I had a baptism of fire when, after the games, I, with my brother an friend, realised I had to go to the Arizona Mills Mall to pick up some shoes I'd ordered. My brother got most of the questions/comments - Three "Nice Skirt!", a couple of times people actually asked why he was wearing it, and then on the way out I got a couple, "Wow, I like those, those are cool!" , and my own "I like your skirt". Those business cards come in really handy!
Beyond that I've had a few stares. I'm hoping I wont cause any car accidents, since I've had a lot of people drive by not watching the road at all as I stand in medians.
My own kilt tends to come down to the knee, and I have thought that I might like it more at the knee. It also took some getting used to having a garment which hangs lower towards the hip than higher up. I know that's normally the reverse of how one wears a kilt, but apparently I have a little more in the way of his than the average guy and the kilt just hangs better lower on me - or so says Dave from UK. What's more as described above with my brother - I might take a little less flack from my friends if I'm not showing much knee.
I have a trad. on the way now from Mr. Newsome and will be getting a 2" belt for it, so I'm thinking the wider belt will help since the kilt right now is hanging down on the thinner belt.
All in all I've been getting to used to wearing it and do enjoy it.
It also helps that a certain lady loves the way it looks. When I asked her what she really thought, she told me that it just fit me perfectly, it seemed like 'me', and it looked really good.
