    Kilt attire add-ons. Are they necessary?

    Dual post, now deleted. Sorry.

    Mods, anyone, this is the third time it has happened in the recent past and is not a usual occurrence, am I doing something wrong? Well thats not in the least helpful! I have just deleted the original post!

    You could be seeing double due to how things are being sorted on your PC.
    My husband sends everything to me twice due to having the instruction set to copy rather than move.

    Don't worry - it is easy enough to flick a duster round and tidy up any obvious anomalies that turn up during the 'housekeeping'

    Your technical difficulties are unfortunate, as this seems like an interesting topic, Jock.

    Well yes, I had hoped that a slightly new slant on a regular topic of conversation here, might have garnered a certain amount of interest. In truth, I really cannot remember what I was attempting to say!

    I will try to dredge up some thoughts! But don’t hold your breath!

    Certainly here in the USA there's a tendency to overdo the accessories.

    "Let nothing be left behind" seems the guiding principle.

    It was Coco Chanel, I believe, who suggested you completely dress and accessorize for an occasion, then look in the mirror and remove (at least) one accessory. Good advice.

    Kilts are becoming fairly common at folk musing events - I wish I'd got photos but being involved in all that is going on does make it a little difficult. It is now usual to see kilts worn with dance kit, and also at the social dances.

    It is also not uncommon to see men coming from the shower block wearing a kilt, sandals and a grin.
