Oh what a scary proposal

[wildrover]

Perhaps she means that she wants a dress/skirt to match his kilts?

I was going to suggest exactly that, if the discussion wasn't good-natured and a peace keeping accord need be reached! See the "kilted at prom" thread and a couple recent photos from (IIRC) cwt87.

The whole point is to keep me from spending to much money. and yes she is talking about 1-1 not dollar amount. Since I don't have much to spend on kilts anyway it should keep me from going over board...I don't know if accessories are included in the deal.

What Jock Scot said, and my opinion, it's far better to have one very nice kilt...an 8yd knife pleat in 16oz Dalgliesh, for example...which may be worn anytime with anything, vs a half dozen lesser quality kilts. Also consider how often you'll wear a kilt, and if it's justifiable to have one for each day of the week. Considering you can go broke buying everything to go with that one nice kilt, and that you can wear it with a jacket or a pair of running shoes, is more than one really necessary?

A heavyweight wool kilt is more durable than our treatment of these heirlooms might suggest...yes we wear a tank with a suit jacket to weddings, funerals and dress-up occasions, but you can also wear it running, drinking, bashing through the woods, hunting (mind you don't crouch on a thorn bush), cleaning the house, watching the game, and most other places that you'd normally wear pants that don't involve fire, chemicals, or turning upside down.

The first dress she picked out was a tavern wenches outfit to wear to the games we attend.

This could work for you . Hopefully, her statement was made mostly in jest and with both your interests at heart!
