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

take great delight in combining photos and story to create space for souls to breathe. You can find me writing here several times a week as well as once a month over at (in)courage. If you already know that the title of the blog was inspired by a song written by Sarah Masen called Tuesday, then I automatically like you. People who like Sarah Masen music are always cool. I live in North Carolina with my family and have been married to The Man for eleven years. We have three children: twin girls who look like my husband and a son who looks like me.

I'm Elyse, the 20-something lady behind the blog, residing in Sydney, Australia. I grew up on an organic vegetable farm in a small country town, but have since moved to the city. You can find me on a weekend morning at a long lazy brunch drinking too much coffee, reading, over-thinking life, and obsessively making to-do lists! I like big things like art exhibitions, sewing, vintage fashion, photography, documentaries and travel... but I also like little things like toasted blueberry bread, fresh flowers, notebooks and wine.

Marianne I like pretty things and when people look at the camera in fashion blogs. After becoming a mom two+ years ago, my body and style started to change, and so, I am left...struggling. And trying on lots of styles that I wouldn't have touched before, because I don't know what works on my body any more. This leads to sometimes hilarious results, and sometimes surprise successes, all of which I am willing to document and post for your enjoyment. My personal style is undergoing a bit of a sea change at the moment. In the past I've leaned towards whimsy, loving anthropologie, Marc Jacobs, Nanette Lepore. However now I find myself wearing more black, grey, khaki. More structure. Since having a baby I can't abide by flowy dresses or tops because they remind me too much of maternity clothing. I would rather wear something structured even if my stomach is not exactly flat. I still love Marc Jacobs and anthropologie, I just like different styles. I would like to build a forever wardrobe of things I will still want to wear in 10 years. Pleased to meet you!

Silky, long and healthy locks is what all girls what. Right after a haircut and after seeing someone with really long hair we start wondering on how to get such beautiful hair and how it would be like to have Rapunzel like hair. When I found out about my damaged hair, the first thing my stylist told me was to get my hair trimmed so I trimmed the entire portion of hair which had split ends.
