For a few years now, I kilt up on Fridays, taking a spin on the term casual Fridays, calling it ‘Kilted Fridays’. An easy answer to anyone who asks, why are you wearing a kilt?’ It’s Kilted Friday!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my adventures. I’ve decided to start this thread to tell about them and perhaps post a pic or two.

Today, I am wearing my Newsome Box Pleat in the XMarks the Scot tartan. One of my residents where I work as manager of a gated community of active adults came to the office for photocopying of an activity announcement. She complimented me on my appearance and asked what family tartan was I wearing?

So that gave me a good opportunity to tell her about our online community of kilt wearers. I showed her too, my XMarks the Scot Ryan Ross bonnet pinned with our Clan Crest badge.

She inquired about the ‘tassels’ hanging from my ‘socks’. I explained as she would remember once women wore garters to hold up her hose. So do I, showing her the tied garter by unfolding the cuff. She was quite impressed! She liked quite a bit the colors of the tartan, as I do too.

A very fun encounter!
