    Don't Forget the Flashes!

    As I was donning my Gordon SWK thrifty kilt yesterday, I realized I didn't have any flashes in a color that would match the tartan's. My supply of flashes matched the lighter colors of my Malcolm plaids.

    As the thrifty doesn't have straps, I opted for the sleek look no flashes or kilt pin. I thought it had a nice clean look. However in the morning, I reallzed that flashes serve a useful purpose that the picture below supports.

    Later in the day perusing XMTS I saw that Rocky was having a sale in kilt accessories. So I've supplemented my supply of flashes and picked up some good deals on socks. Thanks, Rocky!

    I think his point is that he did not intend for the hose to be "scroonched down." I agree, however, that he looks fine, as is.
