So far you've gotten excellent advice---I hope I'll maintain that standard.

I would strongly recommend the SWK Thrify because I consider it the better quality, not just the better buy. I have one which I very much enjoy wearing around the house and for yard work. I don't wear it out and about because I have others better suited for that. I would not be embarrassed to wear my Thrify to the supermarket, the post office, or the gas station, but I would not wear it to work or to dinner or to a doctor's appointment; I prefer something dressier (such as a SWK Standard) for those purposes.

A Thrifty will serve very well to get you used to a kilt: to sweeping pleats and tucking and being conscious of what may be showing, while you decide (and save for) what you want next.

Welcome to the rabble! and many happy years kilted!
