Anyones skirt wearing influenced by christmas?

[Bryan]

This probably sounds strange but I have been. Why? The simple reason is in the run up to xmas and into the new year the chances of friends and relations just turning up is greatly increased. I therefore have been wearing a kilt during this period rather than the usual skirt. I know I'm safe with this as all my wife's friends and relations have either seen me wearing one or have seen a photograph of me in one. One day last year I met one of her relations for the very first time. Although we had never met the woman remembered seeing my kilted wedding photograph in my wife's mothers hallway!

Christmas time for me means more time spent with family and relatives, and they would freak out if they saw me wearing a kilt or a skirt. They are horribly close-minded about such things. So my skirts are all packed away, for now. . .

For me, Christmas is a time when the work dress code does not apply, so I get to dress as I choose all the time. I have not worn trousers since arriving home on the 22nd and will probably not need to be bifurcated again until I return to the office on Tuesday.

I wore a plain black kilt for the big family gathering on Christmas day and not one person even mentioned it. It seems they have all become used to my fashion foibles.

While walking the dog on Christmas morning (with wife and son in tow) I wore my Fat Face wrap. One young lady asked whether I was cold in shorts, then went slightly pink as she realised the the shorts were in fact a skirt. I simply said no, I was fine and her friend (also female) interrupted, apparently to save her blushes, with a comment that the air temperature was not too low, even though there was still some snow on the ground.

Carole (my wife) did not bat an eyelid at the comment, at one time she would have been concerned about it, but time and familiarity have overcome that.

Have fun,


Ian.

Christmastime here seems to be a time for getting together with one's fellow humans and having a good time. Part of this sense of festivity also includes the ability to dress in some of my "richer" fabrics which is why all three of my velvet (one blue, one black, and one red) got mileage at work this year. I might even wear one of the silk skirts this evening if Sapphire and I decide to go out for dinner.

(Christmas day is home-made lasagne day, and we do it up right from scratch including the noodles. We've been eating leftovers since, and I have several lunch-sized portions in the 'fridge. It'll be a good week at work.)

I had big plans for Christmas eve, a brown tween sport coat and light brown kilt. We arrived at Rider's Inn, a Colonial era stagecoach Inn where we were to have dinner and spend the night, set up show in the tavern and entertained our visitors as they arrived. After a couple glasses of wine, just left the jeans on ....

Got up Christmas day, came down to breakfast in the Inn in my long hoodie (I posted a link to this in another group), had a very nice country breakfast. Then, back upstairs to change into my Braveheart kilt (red and green -- I consider it a Christmas kilt) and my brown tweed jacket. Then we went visiting -- first to my sister who had never seen me in a kilt. She went on about how it was a "skirt", but later admitted that my brother, my father and grandfather had also worn kilts. As she is 10 years older than me, she knew something I didn't, I was unaware that my father and grandfather had ever worn kilts! By the time I came along, there were no kilts in sight, but there was talk about how the Miller's hailed from Scotland. I did verify this fact about 6 months ago.

Then we visited my wife's side of the family, the 9 year-old boys got a pretty good laugh, but the adults were OK and asked questions about the origin of the plaid and so forth. They already knew I was into kilts.

Only problem I really had was that it was cold, rainy and blowing about 30 mph that day. I changed back to jeans for the trip home, it just wasn't comfortable wearing a kilt in those conditions. I really need to invent my "long kilt" for those kind of days!

I've been wearing Christmas colors in dance class recently --- green leotard and red skirt, and vice versa. Also tried red leotard and blue skirt, and it worked --- but ultimately seemed like something more for Fourth of July.

for christmas, the skirt i wore was a much more festive shade of black!

[floatingmetal]

The choice of skirt was influenced by wanted to show off as much as possible of the tights I was wearing, since they had a Christmas pudding print on which rather limits when they can be shown off.

My Christmas Day outfit 2009. A bit brighter and more colourful than usual, with waistcoat and neck tie to match the kilt.
Visited the wife at the nursing home where she stays, then went to friends for Christmas lunch then out to an Indian restaurant in the evening. The red socks are knee high soccer socks, not tights.

Now that is a festive outfit! Well done, looks really great.

[TomH]

I totally agree. Great look and put together well. I just did a green knee length skirt and a red shirt, so impressed with the thought and work you've gone to. Thanks,

I agree...a red pointy hat with a furry white ball on top and a furry white border around the rim would complete the "Skirted Santa" look. Well done Alex! SS for Skirted Santa seems to fit better than KS as in Kilted Santa.. Poetic license here.

[Sarongman]

Ahem, the pre-war Jaguar was called the Jaguar SS until the manufacture resumed after the war when the SS was quickly dropped for obvious reasons. Maybe KS will do

What did they think it meant? Shít Storm ?? heh

Of course I'm using Shït storm as an aka for the Schutz Staffel, also known as THE SS, Hitler's gang of Jackbooted Bullies.

Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Bill (later Sir William) Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before switching to passenger cars. The SS in the name of the intra-war models was an acknowledgement of the company's history.

Have fun,


Ian.
