Are you doing different styles each day, or just varying color combinations?
    I hope you don't mind if I chime in here, as the question wasn't directed at me, but I do feel that I can give some input as a full time kilt wearer. Personally I have a different for every day of the week (weather permitting!) and I have a large variety of shirts to go with them. I can wear a nice green shirt with green hose and my saffron today, and tomorrow when it warms up, I'll wear my Clergy with black shirt and black hose. Friday when it gets cold again, I may put my saffron back on with a navy blue shirt and either white or blue hose. Same kilt, very different look. I look dressed business casual today, and Friday I can look business casual and support my Broncos! That as a matter of fact is the only reason I would wear white hose- the Broncos uniform colors are orange, blue and white- hence the orange kilt, blue shirt and white sox. I also have 2 solid color modern kilts- one black Amerikilt and one green Flamingo kilt. Those go with most anything, and when pressed neatly, they can be very dressy with the right accessories. So there you go- my daily ideals in a very small nutshell.

    The only thing that would keep me from being kilted full time is laziness (it's SO much easier just to throw on some jeans) and wind. I work in downtown Madison which is an isthmus. The wind between the lakes can be kilt-defying.

    I'll try to take a photo every day from now on.

    I have every intention of doing exactly what you are doing... I just don't have enough kilt accessories in my wardrobe, yet. For example, I don't have enough hose to wear a fresh pair every day; so I either have to wait for my doting knitter to produce enough, or I have to find the cash to buy more in the meantime; but, money is tight. I also would like to get a few other things to break up the sense of stagnation in the outfit; but, I am determined to get there! I would also like to get kilts of different weights for different weather conditions. Kilt on!

    Most of my hose come from WB Socks on eBay. They're like $7 a pair, and great for the price. I have my heavier Locharron and Lewis Rich hose for those cold days, but mostly WB's get the job done.

    So? I only have six, and two of those are full argyle so I only wear them during formal events. If you wear ankle socks inside the hose they'll protect them from sweatiness.

    More power to you, enjoy! I shall kilt vicariously, and with envy. My work has a contract for "Safety" that all workers will wear denim or canvas pants that extend below the ankle and does not exceed the heel. Or something like that.

    If you have the will to do it, you can.
