Great compliment

[Yaish]

Some of the girls at work found out I do the Highland Games and wear kilts, and so demanded pictures. I knew where some were online, so I went to my office and printed out a little montage.

None of them have ever seen me in anything other than dress clothes, or uniforms when I had to wear those. One of the girls, after looking at the photos points to one and says "that looks like you."

"It is me" I reply, but she clarified

"No, I dont know how to say it, but... that just looks more like what you should be wearing. You look more comfortable and natural in a kilt."

It was only meant as a comment (though they were very VERY complimentary) but that comment was the best compliment I think I ever got.

Sounds like you might need to wear your kilt to work or at least to a function where some of these ladies will be.

The first time i wore a kilt was at a company picnic with a few other comrads i was to say the least a bit nervous. one of the hottest girls in the organization said behind my back "the other guys look OK But Rich looks like he wears one every day." From that moment on I was sold. I can do the kilt thing No problem. Chicks dig them.

What a great compliment! Sounds like its time for the ladies at work to start a petition requiring you to wear a kilt to work. :rolleyes:

The wife and I are getting into the RenFaire thing...
I've personally joined the International Brotherhood of Rogues, Scoundrels, and Cads and my wife has joined the International Wenchs' Guild. I post a lot at the Wenchs' Guild forum. I get MANY a cat call for my kiltedness!

To the original poster... ROCK ON! Figure a way to start going to work kilted. I'd do it, but Uncle Sam has those silly uniform regulations!

You can't get more sincere than that. Hurray for you!

I'll say one thing, she is correct about being more comfortable and natural in a Kilt. Smart lass.

[Prester John]

Sorry for asking, but what is it you do for a living?

Is there some reason not to wear the kilt?

[Yaish]

I'm the Director for Security at a local hospital. (you can tell its a serious job by the caps in the title)

My officers have to wear uniforms though I dress in normal business clothes. Often I am the final authority the public deals with on several matters, and usually thats when they already are not happy. A professional and conservative appearance does help with that quite a bit.
While the kilt would be a great asset in a security environment like bouncing, I feel it would be a liability in many of my interactions with the public.
I'd like to say thats just their problem, but then it becomes my problem when I have to deal with the repercussions.

If we ever have any sort of non-work formal get togethers though I will probably wear my kilt, as I do now when I get together with some fellow co-workers now informally.

I work part-time as a Magistrates Clerk/Assessor in the District Court service so, as with you Yaish, many of the public I meet are unhappy about having to come to court and are under stress. For this job I wear either a pin-stripe trouser suit or an all black kilt with black hose and jacket, the trousers or kilt being worn to work on an approximately equal number of days, depending on the weather outside. Far from finding the kilt to be a liability, I have found that the kilt puts the public with whom I am dealing more at ease.
