The truth about kilts

I bought this from a thrift store a while back and it was horribly unflattering... so I worked some seamstress magic andddd...... #fab.

I bought it actually thinking it was a kilt, like a legit kilt. Since I'm Scottish, I thought "oh how cultural of me!". Yeah.... nope. This is a faux kilt! My best friend's dad broke the news to me. He's a bagpiper and wears kilts like every weekend... aka he knows his kilts. I did some more research and found out the truth:

1. Kilts are made out of a wool tartan plaid. (which my skirt is!)

2. Typically worn by men in Scotland. (yeah.. not a man or in Scotland or using bagpipes)

3. Hems hits just above knee. (I did hem mine from there because boy was that unflattering...)

4. Apron fridge. (clearly I got that!)

5. Knife pleats. (here's the real zinger... not a single pleat on my 'kilt'. The pleats are supposed to be in the back, allowing for easy movement and flow.)

6. Buckles. (yeah I got three buttons and not a single buckle... whoops.)

7. Eva is not wearing a kilt... just a wool skirt with fun fringe and a few buttons. (whoop whooop whooop)

(Here's a thank you card I got from helping out at an admissions event the other day... It really made me smile. Even though it was probably written as a joke since I use the word fabulous at least 30 times a day... I laughed and smiled when I saw it!)
