Various directions needed

I wear the kilt everyday! It is my "normal" clothing, so it would not be part of a costume.

And I hate pants!

If I were going to go to a halloween party and still wanted to free myself from those hated cloth tubes (THCT) then I would just cut up a cheap sheet, and make myself into an arab.

Or go as a south sea islander.

Or a budist monk.

Or - well you get the idea.

... or wear a Roman toga---though that takes a lot of fabric, and I understand that it takes practice!

I think I'm wearing a belted plaid this year, that should be costume-y enough!

In Adam's defense and since I switch between pants and kilts regularly, I have used both kilts and pants in Halloween costumes...not at the same time, of course. And neither the pants, nor the kilts were the main focus of the costume.

Well, I guess that's not completely true. Two years ago, the folks at work TOLD me to wear the kilt to the Halloween party. I tried explaining that it wasn't a costume. So I found a way to make it a costume and got out of wearing pants to work that day.

And then I started wearing a kilt to work every Friday. After all, it's not a costume.
