    Great compliment

    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!

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

    That is indeed a great compliment. I had one similar when a female physical therapist told me that I looked like I was born to wear a kilt. It's a nice feeling isn't it?

    I wore mmy kilt to the company's Holiday Party and the most compliments I got were from the management staff. I have gotten many questions since then, but I can't wear a kilt to work. I have to wear a uniform and I get very greasy during my normal work day. Being a Lift truck mechanic, I get to roll around on the warehouse floor while repairing the customer's equipment. Not an atmosphere for a kilt. So, I wear it to dinner, church amd casual evenings out. But when I do, I have a lot of fun.
