Geometric Wrap Dress for St Paddy's!


Top 'o the day to you, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

St. Patrick's week is the perfect time
 to go all out with the color green!
You probably will not have any problem
 finding some green in your wardrobe for the occasion,
 since so many shades of green 
have been super popular during the last few years,
especially Kelly green
Do you be wearing green for St. Patrick's Day?
I love to dress for a theme, 
and St. Patrick's Day is a fun day to celebrate
(even though I am not Irish)

 Today I chose a geometric print midi dress
 with Kelly green in the mix, 
along with navy blue and white
This dress came out last spring,
 in a collaboration between Diane von Furstenberg and Target
 I am a fan of DVF, 
the brand does some great prints, especially geometrics,
 and frequently uses bright, vivid colors
  I have a few of her vintage pieces in my wardrobe, 
 so I was keen to see if anything in this collection suited me
 I f you don't know, Diane von Furstenberg was famous
 for designing and popularizing
 her wrap style jersey knit dresses in the 1970's
  These wrap style dresses have been classics ever since
Wrap dresses and tops are universally flattering,
 and one of my favorite styles to wear
Especially in a dress-one and done!
Layering a black camisole underneath this one,
 as it is quite low cut



This version does not hold a candle
 to the gorgeous silk knit wrap DVF dresses from the 70s,
 but for the Target price point, I like it



My Kelly green embossed handbag was a natural choice
 


Bold and shiny gold tone jewelry
 to go with the spirit of the striking geometric 
 of the dress's print
Wearing a wide chain collar necklace, hinged bar bracelet
 and loop design hoop earrings
Also accessorizing with a  wide pleated
 Kelley green headband, not pictured here


Biege and black toe cap,
 block heel sling backs to finish the look


Here is an outfit from a St. Patrick's day past,
six years ago, in 2019


And some St. Paddy's Day treats,
green, of corse!




Hope everyone has a fun day and a great week!

I love the extra pops of green from your headband and handbag. This is a very polished St Patrick's Day look! I was wearing hunter green pants yesterday, which is different from the bright kelly green that I usually go with because it's the classic version for the day, but I really enjoyed going with the dark green. (I did have some lighter green in my jewelry.)

What a lovely dress! I don't have any DVF but they're so iconic. I wore emerald turquoise on St Patrick's Day.

Oh I adore Diane von Furstenberg. I have had a few, pre loved, dresses and tops and they absolutely amazing! Your dress is so good! The colours are fabulous and a wrap dress is always so flattering isn't it. Also love the green trousers! It is a beautiful colour!
