    The two of you make a handsome couple. When Harrisburg has kilt nights and the such, please let me know. I'm only 100 or so miles from you.

    You look good, and your lady looks even better.

    Other than the shoe that needs tied , the bright red hose are a little much for my taste, but to each his own.

    Very handsome. I was wondering what they were setting up for when I left work on Friday. I work in Strawberry Square. Looks like you guys were the toast of the town.

    Your looking good, but lose the red socks.(save 'em for casual daywear)
    Some black socks would've gone great with that outfit.

    But let's be honest here - who was looking at the socks with that woman on his arm anyway?

    Looking good (the kilt too)!

    Red hose

    Just to explain the red hose thing. The ball is called the Red Hot Strawberry ball, the dress explaination is, "Dress to impress, come as your favorite star, or just wear red, I decided to do two out of three." For the upcoming wedding it will be traditional cream hose.

    Thanks for the great comments, I am sure my wife will blush tonight when she reads them.

    Now the question is: where did you get those red hose?

    Red hose

    I bought them at Dick's sporting goods, they are just regular soccer socks. For now these have seemed to work for me in casual settings. They are long enough to be worn up and keep legs warm, and I don't have to worry about flashes etc. At $6 a pair, I can get lots of colors and lots of pairs. After work I change into one of my kilts, so I like having lots of socks.

    So which star were you supposed to be?

    Seriously, nice look! And I am going to go against the popular opinion and say that I think that the red hose tie in very nicely with the red in the kilt. I might have gone a little further and carried the red to the upper body by wearing a red tie that matches the hose. Especially if it is supposed to be a fun festive event.
