    solstice,

    You mentioned that she originally thought you would look sexy in a kilt. You purchased a modern Amerikilt. Is it possible that what she had in mind was very different than what you had in mind. In the "Show Us Your Pictures" forum there are three threads showing X Markers in Formal, Dressy, and Casual outfits. Why don't you show her these and see if there is a kilt look she likes. Maybe she would encourage you to go for a more traditional look.

    Just a thought

    Good Luck

    Along the same lines as Panache.

    I've noticed that Lynn prefers the more rough & rugged (her words not mine) look of just a long sleeve T and boots with my socks worn low with my USAK casual MacQueen. I wonder if the solid color is turning her off to it? Forgive me for saying it, but if you see tartan, you think kilt, you see solid color, you think skirt... I've asked Lynn about solids and she said she likes the tartans much better. I wonder if this is part of your GF's issue?

    It could be that she was expecting a tartan kilt. It could be that she wasn't expecting you to actually wear a kilt in public. But what I'd put money on is that her friend's comments changed her mind.
