Before you start all the pinching and the kissing because you’re Irish, you’ll need one fabulous green outfit to whip out this St. Patrick’s Day. But if your closet is lacking 50 Shades of Green, here is your guide to having the latest in green-hued fashion.
For dresses:
1. Piperlime has an adorable aqua green shift dress that will leave everyone green with envy. Shift dresses are always flattering because of their flowing shapes. So no matter how horrible you feel that day, keep chugging all the green beer you want because this dress is truly forgiving.
2. If you plan on trashing that St. Patty’s day dress during your man celebrations, Merona, Target’s brand, has a green dress that’s adorable and has a price tag of only $27.99. And, as a bonus, you get a free belt. Finding this deal must have been the luck of the Irish.
3. For those of you who have a little extra of your own green to spend, there is always, of course, the famous Kate Middleton green dress. She even wore it TWICE (gasp!). A little fancy for St. Patrick’s Day in Gainesville, but if you’re going to some sort of St. Pattie’s soiree you must channel Ms. Middleton. Bad news: the dress comes with the steep price of $398, but in my mind, having such an iconic slice of history and being able to pretend you’re married to Prince William for a day is totally worth it. The dress can be found at ShopBop.
For everything else:
1. I am absolutely in love with J. Crew’s “Café Capris” and they are officially on sale. I give you permission to wear wool because it is still quite cold in Gainesville. These pants are on sale for $34.99. And what’s even better? The color is called “Dublin Green.”
2. See by Chloé has one silky green top the can easily be paired with your cutest jeans or a skirt. Raoul makes a green top that I swear looks like shamrocks. Pair this with white pants and you’ll be the queen of all of Ireland. DVF is the pot of gold again in this mix with her Ibiza printed silk and cashmere cardigan. It’s also on sale for half off.
3. If the pool is your calling this St. Patrick’s Day, a green bikini has to be on your list. Melissa Odabash makes a green bandeau bikini that is perfect for getting rid of those bikini strap lines you ingrained into your chest over spring break.
So celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day in style. And remember, even if you hate this holiday Ireland did give us Colin Farrell and Pierce Brosnan. Those two are enough reason to celebrate in itself.
