Thoughts on black tie highland dress. My mother’s side has its own tartan. Could I get away with a kilt and Prince Charlie jacket at a black tie event? I’m tempted, but it might be too much.

I’d say it probably depends on the black tie event. Black tie Christmas party? Absolutely. Black tie wedding? Perhaps not.

This would be for New Year’s Eve. So I’m thinking I can get away with it! On a side note, whatever happened to morning dress? There is just something amiss about daytime weddings where all the men are in tuxedos.

I agree with above. Depends on event timing and location. I think that more subtle tartans like Black watch tend to work better.

If you go with a kilt, get an excellent quality one. Andrea Chappell's are quite excellent.

I & My girl friend can’t stop fighting for few weeks. We decided to take a little break being away from each other.

Breakup? Feeling terrible thinking about breaking up when she is pregnant, but I’m not ready for a baby.
