    I got the long laces so that I could tie them like you would guillies. I think I might go garage saleing this weekend, (as it is my neighborhood garage sale weekend) and I will look for some wing toed dress shoes.

    is there any kind of head wear that would acompany this? I have an english driving cap but it is oatmeal like my hose and I only wear it as my day wear. but I saw the thread with the faux lizard leather cap and the instructions to make one. and I know some basic sewing... just a thought. I just don't want to look too much like a piper, I really am not that great with my practice chanter yet.

    thanks!

    Headgear is really for outdoor wear only, as such I think that a hat would be my last accessory. I am not sure about the long laces either, I would not use them, again don't try to make them something their not.
