    Wearing the kilt at work today!

    Well, I was asked the other day by our agency's receptionist, why I hadn't worn my kilt lately. (The last time being William Wallace Day.) I answered that I just hadn't thought about it.

    So, I decided to wear my tan Amerikilt today, even though it is 16 °F / -9 °C here.

    My coworkers are very open, and I have got nothing but positive comments from everyone. Oh, one lady asked what the occasion was, to which I replied "It's Friday!"

    Happy Kilting all! Just wanted to share.

    Ah but it is also St. Andrews day, glad you could go kilted to work, nonetheless.

    Yes, St. Andrews day; and falling on a Friday this year; the perfect excuse to wear a kilt to work.

    Friday's always a good day to go kilted. ANY DAY is a good day to go kilted.

    I second the comment on the guitar. I'm hoping to get one of those one of these days, but I don't neeeed one. And kilts cut into ones disposable income...

    Always wanted a Telecaster (only want a semi hollow body Rickenbacher more). Great Pez too (I collect).

    Oh, yeah, the kilt looks good.

    Sharp look. Don't know if you've any interest, but I switched my AmeriKilt "sporrans" around between kilts...so like wore a black or forest sporran with my tan kilt. Mike even sold me a sporran in another color for mix and match.

    Just a thought.
