That, and I happen to like this way of thinking!

I don't think I, personally, would go so far as to say that those who prefer a less "blingy" look are "un-Scottish", but there is certainly a case to be made for those who like to richly accessorize their Highland clothing!
Again my point is being made----it is from where I stand anyway!But its not what I think that matters here, it is what YOU think that interests me.

To go back to my question, "I am not saying you can't, but should we?"

I am posing the question that black tie events are generally not the time for too much "Bling" and I have asked an open question to what you think.Is this the time for the less is more effect?

Now white tie events are another matter entirely, peacock away to your hearts content!

Fascinating replies, thank you.
