    All dressed up with nowhere to go!

    So I'm sitting here wearing almost exactly what I wore to our office Christmas party at the beginning of December... Black dress shirt with french cuffs, nice blue striped tie, black dress shoes... But there's one major difference. I wore worsted wool, custom tailored dress pants to my office party since they are extremely anti-kilt... tonight, awaiting my wife to doll herself up for DFW's Burns Supper, I am kilted in my USAK Casual Clark... and it makes a world of difference. I am so comfortable compared to that night nearly 2 months ago... heck, I don't even mind the tie so much (not that there's a snowball's chance in hell that I'd start wearing one on a regular basis)!

    Anyway, this is my first time out kilted and "dressy" so I just thought I'd share what a world of difference it makes to wear a kilt in yet another situation in my life!

    It's amazing what difference it makes!

    I'm hoping to have fun... I expect the dancing and drinking to be fun (yay for the pregnant designated driver!), I just hope I like haggis... I've never actually had it (or been to a Burns Supper), but I'm open minded and will try anything once!

    Have a great time. Life is so much better on the kilted side.
