New kilt, new sporran, new outfit

So I need to stick with ties that have the same texture as the jacket and kilt, wool ties probably.

Even in the latest picture, the tie does remind me a bit of Fruit Stripe gum.

Outfit looks nice, though!

I took note of the things that went wrong with those first photos

1) direct sunlight
2) shiny tie that glowed too bright
3) bag-cover with gold trim that glowed too bright

So the day before Christmas it was overcast and drizzling here so I got my daughter to take a couple quick shots.

I think this photo fixed all those things: overcast, black tie, different pipes.

I'm a big fan of colorful ties with plenty of character, but for this outfit, changing the tie out is a huge improvement, IMHO. Very nice.
