    I start off with the First 3 S's.
    Then:

    1) Hose/socks go on
    2) Shod myself with hiking boots or goth style "Skull Krusher" boots (3 inch thick soles), depending on my look for the day
    3) Put on shirt according to my style of dress for the day
    4) Wrap kilt about my ****
    5) Fasten an appropriate belt about my girth, usually black, with either black or silver pyramid shaped studs on the belt in 3 rows
    6) STRONG hair gel in my hair and spiked, or a solid black Glengary with a Clan Baird clan crest pin on the hat
    I don't have a sporan yet, so, that's moot.
    7) A nice single malt shot or a cold black n tan in my gob!
    8) Repeat 7
    9) Repeat 8
    10) Repeat 9
    11) etc, ditto, so on and so forth!

    Shirt
    Hose
    Flashes (if the hose are up)
    Shoes (boots, etc.)
    Kilt (kilt pin already in place)
    Belt
    Sporran
    Waistcoat (if the occasion calls for it)
    Jacket (see above)
    Fly Plaid & Brooch (once again, if the occasion calls for it)
    Sgian dubh is always last. My little signal to myself that I am ready to go. Obviously, it's only when the hose are up and the situation allows.

    On a typical morning:

    Utilikilted:

    1) Get up and take off sleep clothes
    2) Shower (if I didn't do it the night before) and clean up
    3) Put soccer or other long sox on
    4) Add shoes or boots
    5) Get online, check email, forums, and Craigslist - can be sometimes up to an hour or 90 minutes (the joys of living in the country)...
    6) When done with that, find underwear, put underwear on
    7) Add a shirt
    8) Snap UK on and buckle the belt
    9) Grab keys, wallet, and if I'm taking photos, grab what I need gear-wise
    10) Stuff said items into cargo pockets.
    11) Walk out of the door.

    Traditionally kilted:

    Same as above, but replace soccer sox with kilt hose and flashes and add:

    8) strap kilt on, buckle belt, add sporran.
    9) Grab keys and wallet
    10) stuff into sporran
    11) stuff any photo gear into camera bag, or, if only carrying one camera with a lens, strap it over the shoulder
    12) walk out of the door after doublechecking everything in the mirror.
