A Lasses Wear Thread

...Can you wear kilt hose? Sure you can. The only problem might be that you *might* wind up looking like a schoolgirl and I would AVOID white kilt socks...which look like schoolgirl knee sox, with a plaid skirt at knee length, and a white buttoned-up blouse. Add black mary jane shoes to that and you'll look like a bad attempt at a Catholic Schoolgirl fantasy!

My two cents.

She may look like a very good attempt at a Catholic Schoolgirl fantasy!

Sweet, but I wouldn't.

I like Alan's idea of flat black slipper style shoes if I can find them with enough support and traction. I've always had good luck with Easy Spirits.

I'm still not sure about the sock/hose though and I hate putting my bare feet into shoes (especially in TN summer heat!). Perhaps a thin knee high in gray with the black flat... ? Of course if I could find argyle socks to match...
(subtle not distracting).

As for tops, the t-shirt idea may work if it is a ladies scoop neck or princess neckline style they are just dressier and more attractive on the feminine form.
The cashmere sweater sounds lovely and would be appropriate in winter here but the temperatures can get into the 100's (F) in TN with very high humidity.

Thank you all for the advice. I will work on it.

I love tartan, but I have to say that I adore those solid color kilted skirts with the embroidery on the apron like that. And ooooh... fiddle! ;)

I have to admit, I was very tempted to go ahead and order a Stillwater Thrifty just so I'd have something while I waited for my chance to get what I'm really wanting. Why should my hubby have all the fun? I'm just not sure if I should or not. The stock goes down so quickly especially for the smaller sizes (even though I'd probably wear it slightly lower on my hips instead of at my waist where I'd wear most skirts), not to mention the tartans are a bit limited. We'll see, though. I think if I wore it just right, it'd fall right on the lower part of my knee if not slightly lower. Just depends on how it all works out (which is partially why I figured why not try a Thrifty, because of the velcro.... aside from the price).
