    I have every intention of doing exactly what you are doing... I just don't have enough kilt accessories in my wardrobe, yet. For example, I don't have enough hose to wear a fresh pair every day; so I either have to wait for my doting knitter to produce enough, or I have to find the cash to buy more in the meantime; but, money is tight. I also would like to get a few other things to break up the sense of stagnation in the outfit; but, I am determined to get there! I would also like to get kilts of different weights for different weather conditions. Kilt on!

    Most of my hose come from WB Socks on eBay. They're like $7 a pair, and great for the price. I have my heavier Locharron and Lewis Rich hose for those cold days, but mostly WB's get the job done.

    So? I only have six, and two of those are full argyle so I only wear them during formal events. If you wear ankle socks inside the hose they'll protect them from sweatiness.

    That's a great tip, I am sure to try! Thanks! With my high metabolism I tend to be an easy and heavy sweater, so laundry is a major issue. I'll have to pick up some ankle socks at the Costco, because I expect regular sweat socks would create a rather noticeable sock-line midway up the calf.
