A Little Bit 'O Green




Saint Patrick's Day is coming on Sunday,
so happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Even though I don't have any Irish ancestors, 
I styled two outfits with green in them to commemorate the day  
How about you, any Saint Patrick's Day celebrations coming up? 

My first outfit has a base of neutrals,
so it is a perfect canvas to dress up for the holiday,
and pile on the green accessories!
I am wearing a white crew neck tee
with a brown knit U neck vest layered on top,
and a tan button front skirt with a flounce hem 



Carrying a Kelly green reptile embossed bag,


and adding a wide green pleated and braided hairband,
 and a belt in a similar shade of green



I am even wearing a bit of green in my jewelry, today
I chose a very special dark green 1940's vintage lucite beaded necklace
to wear with two other current pieces,
small gold hoop earrings and a tortoiseshell expandable bracelet
 

Wearing two tone brown loafers to finish this Saint Patrick's Day look
Honestly, I don't think I would wear this much matchy green
 on any given day, but for a little Saint Patrick's Day fun, why not?



My second outfit with green accessories also starts with a neural base,
this time of a camel tan cardigan and brown skirt
The sleeveless top layered under the sweater and my other accessories 
are a bit more of a subtle, blue toned green 



Carrying a circular forrest green bag with buckle detail,
and also wearing a knotted hairband in the same color 



Teal plaid neck scarf because we need more holiday zest, right?
For jewelry, an open cuff bracelet and leaf shaped earrings


Lapracans and leopard? I think yes
Pony hair low heel pumps and belt
that were purchased several years apart-
but look and that match-I love it when that happens!



Decadent dark chocolate mint brownies for a special green treat!


Hope you all have a fun week!

I love a wee bit of holiday dressing! Especially with all these pretty shades of green! Your green purses are just beautiful! Have a wonderful week!

Cute little green accessories! I have added a little bit of green in the last year, but it is still not a color I have much of. Now olive green is everywhere in my closet!

Loved seeing the green accessories idea, which is esp. great for those whose closets are predominantly neutral but want to reflect the spirit of the day or who don't look great in shades of green so want to limit the amount. I'm a fan of the beauty bundle/accessory set concept, which you show beautifully here. I think people sometimes believe that they have to buy new clothes to dress for a holiday like this but a couple accessories adding to a "normal" outfit can do the job very well. And since accessories seem to last forever compared to clothes, it can be a good sustainable option too.
