Perhaps nothing is more closely associated with Scotland than the kilt. Now part of the national costume, you will find kilts being worn at everything from weddings to international sports matches. Either worn casually or as part of a full outfit, this recognizable garment is the best way to show off your Scottish heritage. It has been my observation that there are various reasons why someone may decide to wear the kilt, and those reasons will affect our habits and attitudes towards Highland dress. I normally try to avoid sweeping generalizations, but there are some major categories that I believe most kilt wearers fall into. People tend to wear the kilt as a uniform, as heritage dress, as a costume, or as clothing. Most kilt wearers I have met fall into at least one category, and some will identify with more than one. The first category is that of uniform. These people wear the kilt because it is part of the uniform of a group or activity in which they are involved. The most obvious example would be the military uniform of a Highland regiment. Another would be a pipe band. But the kilt could also be a uniform in a less structured sense. If one is involved in Scottish Country Dancing, the kilt is part of the outfit that men are expected to wear. The reason that people in this category wear the kilt is because it is part and parcel of the activity they participate in, be it dancing, piping, or some other endeavor. If you wear the kilt as a uniform you are more than likely going to have a more rigid attitude towards Highland dress. This may actually be imposed upon you by certain dress requirements for competition and performance. This tends to limit the extent of your Highland wardrobe. If the kilt is part of a uniform that you put on while participating in a certain activity, you only need to be flexible within the confines of your uniform requirements. The second category I have named is that of "heritage clothing." By this I mean those who wear the kilt

Before becoming a blogger, I wrote a travel column for a newspaper, and various pieces for magazines like Honolulu, Leader, and Adventure Journey. Early on, I inherited the gift of functionality from my mom - does it do anything to make your life better? No? Then let it go. Yes? Then invest in it. In my life, I eliminate as much of the "extra" stuff as possible so that I can devote myself to the relationships and projects that enrich my life. This is the philosophy behind Frock Files. With warmth & kindness, Joy

The Blue Ramsay Tartan Kilt is a light blue, almost periwinkle kilt that is perfect for casual wear in your day-to-day life. Its light, casual blue color is accented with dark gray and black lines that run both vertically and horizontally. These lines feature thin strips of cream colors that help to make the blue color pop even more. Each one of these kilts comes with pleats on the side to give it that extra edge. The kilts are also complete with hardware that provides you with a space to hang a sporran of your choice. These kilts can be made to fit your unique size, allowing you to choose the hip size, waist size, fell measurement, kilt length and more.

About Me Angelica. It means bringer of good news. I try to embrace that. Fashion for me is an individual expression of the inner being that you are. It reflects facets of your personality - your favourite movie, the food you enjoy, your favourite singer, the people who you hang out with and what you think about when you're lying in your bed alone at night and staring at the ceiling. One day I hope to work for Teen Vogue. That is my ultimate dream. However, for now I am learning the ropes in the fashion world. Designers, models, styles, clothing, and sewing - the list goes on. Never be afraid to stand out because it shows people that you are unique and not one of the many crowds. I love Taylor Swift. She is my hero and biggest inspiration. I love my Mom because she is everything to me and I get my style from her. Although, most people say I should have been born in the sixties because I rock a good hippie/bohemian outfit. God is my rock. Jesus is my Saviour not my religion. I fell in love with the man who died for me. God is the one person I can always turn to and He'll always be there for me, no matter what. Time, space and distance don't count. I am where I am now because I love Him and He has done so much for me. I continue to walk in His Destiny for me.

Plans to give you a hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29vs11 I am originally from Cape Town, South Africa but now living in Sydney, Australia. If you have any questions don't be afraid to drop a question in my ask box. It can even be fashion advice - if you have a piece of clothing and you don't know how to wear it, I can help! Much Love Angelica

I'm an 18 year old from a small Chicago suburb, but I will be spending my next few years at school in Boston. I love vintage clothes, collect old cameras, and thrift way too much. I came to love vintage clothes at a very young age when I stumbled across some old photos of my great grandmother and aunt (Grace and Viola). Shortly after that, my mother's antique shop had a vintage fashion show, and ever since then I have been on the lookout for great vintage finds. I'm just a girl who hopes to travel the world, meet interesting people, and take in all that life has to offer. This blog is my personal space to write about my daily life, styles that I love, and everything else that falls in-between. Feel free to email me at graceandviola@gmail.com with any and all questions.

I live in Australia's fashion capital, and my favourite thing is to be asked "Where did you get THAT?". I have a penchant for silly shoes, and beautiful bags. I spend vast quantities of time shopping for clothes, but when it's time to get dressed in the morning, I invariably have nothing to wear. I sell books, and think publishing is the best industry in the world to work in (because no-one makes any money in books, everyone who works with them is doing it out of love). I come from a large family, and though I live in a different city, I'm still comfortably entangled in my Mum's apron strings. I have an almost infallible sense of direction (inherited from my Dad, and what the family refers to as our "bump") and a completely fallible sense of balance. I prefer Operas that end in weddings, to those that end in funerals, and I have a secret stash of romance novels that I'm horribly embarassed about.

And maybe someday… I'll bring you that magazine, too.  :-)

We've all had that moment while perusing a flea market or junk store when you stumble across an item and have to yelp, "Good lord, that is ugly!" So ugly, in fact, you have to marvel that it even got made in the first place.

Fashion trends change so rapidly that any per-conceived dream saree design might have been already obsolete by now. So being open to new ideas helps make better choices. Choice of fabric is also very important so that it suits the climatic condition of the place that you are getting married at.

Our attitudes, dressing, behaviors and adoptions show out thoughts and mindset related to anything in our life. Till the past few years the things which can show our innersole are just our dressing, movements, likes and dislikes, but at present we have another trait that can describe ourselves in front of others . And that trait is called the tattoo we have on our body, the pattern of our tattoo shows other that what we think actually.

The cool and grey weather which winters bring along with it is just unbearable and yes the grey weather does make our moods even more sad than normal. Most girls think that with winters around they cannot dress up well as they feel that the weather takes away more options for them to choose from. The truth is that with winters you have more options and more ways to dress up and look cute.
