Unintentionally Bringing Joy To Strangers

[Clockwork]

Normally I would agree, were it not for two factors from the story:
1- these two have no respect for what others wear. This leaves their wardrobe subject to analysis.
2- There is some kind of superiority complex on their part that they need correcting on.
2-

I can totally understand where you're coming from there, but..........I didn't want to stoop down to her level.

I'm sorry, I had to.

More likely she went and posted his picture on People of Walmart.

This story is exactly the kind of thing that keeps me out of that particular store, especially when kilted.

On the contrary, why be concerned about the opinions of strangers? Opinions only hold as much meaning as a person decides to give them. I know I can't please everyone and no matter how I dress, someone will disapprove (something true even within the kilt community), so I just dress to please myself and what I find appealing. If people like my ideas, that's fine; if not, that's also fine. Maybe I will end up on People of Walmart - a thought that honestly did cross my mind as that was all taking place - but if that does happens, then so be it. Tomorrow's a fresh new day!

I do agree about generally avoiding Walmart though; I'd rather support small, local businesses when possible.

Ok, I walked into a local convenience store a few weeks ago fully kilted in my MacDonald modern kilt with all the bells and whistles. There was a guy walking out that noticed what I was wearing. He stopped, looked at me and said, and I quote "Dude has some serious swag...swag hard as f*ck."

I've since discussed this terminology with my daughters and found out that what he said was a compliment concerning what I was wearing.

Yes, actually; by current slang in pop culture, that was basically the equivalent of: "The way in which that gentleman has dressed himself today is very smart.....very smart indeed!"



That's one thing I enjoy about wearing the kilt; there's such a contrast in reactions, you never know what you'll see or hear.
