I'm really happy to hear that your experience went so well. It takes bravery to wear the kilt, especially when your father disaproves. My father encourages it, but only as formal/holiday wear.
My sister's boyfriend took her on a trip to his home in Mexico just recently. What she told me was that in the regions she visited, it was the natives who wore the unique, traditional, and homemade clothing. My sister was on one particular beach that was kind of out of the way, one evening. She crossed paths with a girl, and the way she described it ... they kept catching one another staring, because they had never seen anyone like each other before. (My sister was wearing blue jeans, and a plain shirt.) The native girl's clothing, as my sister described it, was a homespun fabric, very beautiful, and just this kinda functional clothing wrap. Nothing you could find in the states. Not marketed clothing, or fauex-traditional. It was like ... true ethnic clothing.
I don't think a kilt would have made it any more awkward between them, lol.
Anyways, Congrats on your bravery!
