I broke one of my cardinal rules and didn't have a good light source when I stitched the pleats in Egypt. I got all the pleats done and then realized that I just wasn't happy with how the pleats looked. When I got home, I took everything apart and started all over again so that it would be perfect.
But, that's the nice thing about kilts. Until you cut out the pleats, you can keep re-doing things until you get it right!!! And I learned my lesson. I'm going to the Byko to buy a work light when I get to Iceland....

Alrighty then, here you go:
I don't have a brown tweed kilt jacket yet, so I had to don a sweater for the "smart casual" look.
OK - way too hot for this ensemble. I was sweating buckets - the sweater earned it's name! (I have no air conditioning!) I had to put on something more appropriate for the season.
At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

I particularly like the way you repainted your home to tone with the kilt. Nice touch.
