What are these things doing to me?

[Kirkwood]

I used to be the kind of guy that would just grab a shirt, know it would go with my jeans, and head out.

Not anymore.

The other day it took me the better part of an hour trying on different kilt/shirt combinations. What have I become? What's going to happen when I get more kilts?

Not a bad problem to have, really.

Not a bad problem to have, really.

I had a real problem with this a month or so back. My wife was already dressed, and was waiting for me to get ready. We were late because I kept trying different things, and didn't like how I looked in any of them. (I'm semi-colorblind, so I had to keep coming out to ask "how does this look?") I finally decided I didn't have the right color/style of shirts to do what I was trying to do. I needed more clothes.

This really messed with my head, because I heard myself making comments that are stereotypically women's attitudes. This, combined with the fact that my wife takes 10 minutes to get ready, and that she works while I go to school, really gave me a complex for a little while. I'm not real comfortable with the concept of role-reversal.

What have you become? A dashing and suave Kilt wearer, who enjoys himself to the fullest.

I'm still new at this but never noticed how many striped shirts I had in the closet. There's no way I'll wear a striped shirt with the tartans I have so they are all going to be saved for the jeans and shorts days that will come up. In the mean time there are enough solid shirts that will go along OK. I guess I should just have to make some suggestions for Father's Day this year.

I noticed the same thing. Because all of my trousers are solid colors, I nearly always wear a shirt with some kind of pattern.

That just doesn't work with a tartan kilt. So, in addition to all the kilt accessories I have to buy, shirts are now included on the list.

You're fine, you are just evolving to a higher plane, striving to reach levels of our exhalted kilted breathern that wear kilts full time.
I'm not there yet, either, but I'm working on it.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that too. With my first kilt (SWK Black Watch) on the way, I'm wondering what is going to look good with that...

[cessna152towser]

Yes, it's odd how we suddenly begin to take an interest in what to wear. I'm sitting here kilted for the sixth consecutive day (two days at work in my black heavyweight, with tie and jacket and four days off wearing casual kilts with tee-shirts or polo tops.). There are a couple of events next week for which trousers are going to be more practicable and I find myself already planning ahead, which trousers will I wear and which shirts will I team them with.

We need some sort of real time photo Vid hook up where you launch your digital photo here and eveyone who is on line gets a indicator, they click on the icon and the photo pops up. They instantly vote on the ensemble and go back to what they were doing. Real time fashon help for the fasonably handicaped like myself....

That is a bit tricky but I'll give it a go (nice kilt b.t.w.)...off whites, greys, some olives- check with the green in the cloth, maybe light blue, black and charcoal, copper tones maybe as well. but I digress from thread.

I still find i have my favourites tho. and tear the joint appart when i can't find them! Where's that brown shirt? did those hose end up in the wash?! flashes flashes *gesticulating madly to somehow conjure them*.
Ahh we can't help it if we look good.
