    Kilted in the Cube Farm!

    I am by no means a "full-time" kiltie. I enjoy my kilts and look for opportunities to wear them, but it will be many years (if ever) before I have enough to use them as daily attire.

    Recently, I decided that I would, on occasion, go to work kilted, as a sort of walking advertisement for both our local St. Andrew's Society and the local Games.

    I chose to start on a festive occasion. Our office Christmas party was Wednesday. The response was overwhelmingly positive and many folks decided they needed a photo of me. So far only one of those folks has forwarded a copy to me.

    Despite the fact that we were indoors, she insisted I wear my bonnet!

    Looking good, that's a very sharp look for office wear.

    Excellent. My brother started off wearing his kilts to work on occasion and eventually got to be virtually full-time.

    Looks like a good start.

    As usual, looking quite sharp KD! I think next Wednesday I'm donning my tank for the half-day at work before being released for the Christmas break. I've never kilted to work before - should be fun!

    KD, congratulations on the positive response. Looks sharp!
    I'm envious of those of you able to wear kilts to work. Our director specifies in our dress code that men wear dress slacks. So, I haven't bothered to ask my supervisor about wearing a kilt to work.
    Oh, well, at least the pay is good.

    Excellent! I'm very glad you got a good reception with your kilt.

    Great look, and a great opportunity to show off the kilt.

    Be prepared! You won't believe how many times you'll get asked "the question!"

    I think people who are already acquaintances, but are newly exposed to the kilt, are affected by its power more strongly!
