Next week may be my Spring Break vacation, but it’ll also be time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Being mostly of Irish descent, it’s one of my favorite holidays, and David’s too. We celebrate by eating a healthy portion of corned beef and wear our most festive green. While living in New York, it meant trying to navigate around the parade that took place almost right outside our apartment. Since the day to acknowledge your Irish heritage has seamlessly morphed into a party day, it can be hard to decide what to wear. I’m going to opt to keep my classic style with some sweet and modest pieces. Here’s a quick dive into my favorite pieces for a classic St. Patrick’s Day.
A Ladylike Dress
when it comes to discussing classic style, the first name on your list should be the Gal Meets Glam Collection from Julia Engel. She has been one of my top fashion inspiration for years and her line of sweet dresses certainly doesn’t disappoint. This stunning emerald green dress originally was released around the holidays, but it could absolutely make a second appearance for St. Patrick’s Day. Many cities host Irish-American semi-formal events and this dress would be such a crowd pleaser.
Gingham Shorts
Nothing says Spring more than fresh gingham. It’s a pattern I will always and again turn to. Normally I opt for navy and blues, but these green gingham shorts are just too good to pass up. What’s old is new again. You would look positively All-American (with a twist) by pairing these shorts with a crisp white button-down. I just ordered these shorts and cannot wait for them to make their way home!
Rattan Handbag
Sometimes your green can be worn in just a tiny splash! This rattan handbag is subtle with just a hint of key lime green. The pearl details give the purse a little bit more character and depth. Even if you decide to wear a head-to-toe white ensemble on St. Patrick’s Day, you’ll still look festive by carrying around this new summer staple!
Espadrille Wedges
I’m guilty of being a creature of habit and espadrille wedges have been my go to in footwear since moving back to tropical Florida. I have them in black, navy, red, and yellow, but I’m seriously lacking in the green department. No shade says St. Patrick’s Day more than a bright pop of Kelly and these wedges just nail it! Just like the handbag, you’ll be perfectly dressed for the holiday by wearing these shoes alone. They would also be great to hang on to for the Christmas season and more!
Whether you choose Key Lime, Forest, or Kelly, St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect excuse to try a new shade. Even if it’s not your color of choice, I’m sure you’ll have a blast trying something new. After all, everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.
Love from Florida,
