balzacqOkay, so I'm not nearly as clothes-obsessed as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
icprncs, but I do love dressing up, and Norwescon is the most intense opportunity I have to do so all year. That said, here's what I'm packing and when I'm wearing it:

2. poet shirt, velvet floofy shirt, vinyl pants, riding boots

4. "goth whites" - pants, tux shirt, vest, cravat, stick pin, cuff links
5. gold lamé tux, purple shirt, red tie
6. Khaki shirt & chinos (for character), tweed jacket (if IC formal event), character sheet, item cards
7. regular belt & shoes; 4 pair underwear, 4 pair socks; pajamas; silk bathrobe (packs really small)

Kilt
Date: 2002-03-20 09:55 pm (UTC)It's a vintage Argyll & Sutherland British Army kilt (same tartan as the Black Watch). It's supposed to arrive any day now... I've also acquired a sporran, kilt hose and flashes, so as I said all I need is a sgian dhu (the little sock knife) and a kilt pin.
Plans for this weekend are up in the air. It all depends on how much sewing I get done tonight and tomorrow, and whether I get over this throat cold.
