St. Patrick's Day Style

Red and green have always been my favourite colours. And with Valentine's and St. Patrick's Day practically back-to-back, I'm a pretty happy camper when it comes to outfit styling this time of year.

I've had this green plaid dress for a few years now, and it's still one of my favourites. It's the perfect way to wear some green on St. Patrick's Day, without feeling like you're doing a super cheesy St. Paddy's outfit. But I suppose the giant bow is a bit cheesy...but cheesy cute right?? If you're looking to snatch up this dress, you better do it quick - according to Chicwish's website, there's only two left!! The best part? The fabric is so nice and thick, that I don't need to wear a jacket on top.

The only issue with having your favourite colours being both green and red, is that I often run the risk of wearing 'Christmas colours'. But sometimes I just say "the hell with it" and do it anyways! This little red purse just pops so nicely against the dark green tartan. And I think that's what helps keep this outfit from looking too Christmasy - dark green seems to be less problematic than bright green in that respect.

Anyhow, I hope you all have a festive St. Patrick's Day, decked out in your best green attire!

St. Patrick's Day Style

Green is one of my favourite colours to wear, so needless to say, when St. Patrick's Day rolls around, there's certainly enough in my closet to choose from! Rather than showing you a 'going out' outfit for St. Patrick's Day though, I thought I would share with you a casual yet cute look that you can wear during the day - maybe to work for casual Friday, since St. Paddy's Day falls on a Friday this year!

I thought this green sweater with elbow patches was super cute when I picked it out while thrifting at Value Village a while back. It's a nice casual way to wear some green on St. Patrick's Day, especially since it's still not that warm here. I didn't want to go overboard with the green (because I very easily could...), so the only other pop of green is my green plaid loafers from Sole Society. I thought the plaid would be quite fitting for the occasion.

This year, I'm planning on whipping together a few St. Paddy's Day treats for Friday night with my girl friends: these Lucky Charm Marshmallow Rice Krispies by The Baking Chocolatess, and these Magically Delicious Shamrock Shakes from XOXO Bella. YUM! And then we'll be heading out to celebrate somewhere nearby with beers. The fact that it falls on a Friday this year I'm sure means there are going to be a whole lot of shenanigans happening around town!

What are your plans for St. Patrick's Day?
