Since it was a nice day (spring is near in the north west) I went out in a black kilt, dark blue t shirt & lovat green hose.
I got many smiles from the luvly lasses at the store. On the was to a clothing store I was somewhat hijacked by a guy. He asked if the was some festival or something in town & why i was in a kilt. I said not that I know of & its just me goin out & about in my kilt. He must have said 6 times in 1 sentence how kewl that I was in a kilt. & 1 more as he wished me in a good day. As I walked into the store the lady in charged asked if there was anything particular I was looking for. At about that time she realized that I was in a kilt. "OH, YOURE IN A KILT. OH MY" Im not sure if the liked the look or what but she got all flustered & very attentive to my needs (I was lookin for a light green shirt for a new tie).
I ordered a MacLean of Duart weathered tie a couple weeks ago. On thursday she arrived. I himmed & hawwed between the huntin modern, ancient, MacLean of Duart ancient, modern & weathered. I knew I didnt want the hunting varients because I wanted some color & to avoid the matchy-matchy thing. Between the 3 MoDs, I always liked the weathered the best. So that was the one I bought first. You know the others will come eventually.
Before comin home I dropped through Sally Anns. There was a very nice green shirt & brand new yellow shirt. After I came home from the store, without a new shirt. I thought I would try my very light mauve with the tie along with the argyll jacket/vest & MacLean kilt. That dint work. Then I tried a dark grey shirt. That looked very nice, but it had no pizzaz. With all the kit on I went to Sally Anns. The green 1 was too dark, but the yellow was the same shade as the yellow stripe on the tie.
This brings us to now




Since I was in the picture posin mood, the lass aske if she could get 1 with just the vest.


1 thing Im startin the notice is that there is no way to make a kilt look bad.


Happy St.Paddys Day all
