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?

Thrifty Thursday

Time to hop on the sweater train this week! I love looking through the racks of sweaters at Value Village: you could almost spend an entire trip just there. On this trip, I found sweaters with all kinds of cool embellishments, from elblow pads to spikes to metallic threads.

There won't be any cuddling happening with the sweetie in this sweater! Other than the fact that the metal spikes are a little cold on my shoulder through the knit, this sweater is awesome. Ones like this are easy to spot on the clothing racks without even moving the hangers around: you can spot those spikes from a ways away!
