So say you've got a lot of green to choose from this morning, yes it's St. Patty's A.M. and you haven't picked out your ensemble yet. And actually, you've got some green to choose from or you just don't know what to pair with that emerald skirt.
You probably want to keep it modern and your-own-culturally relevant. Ella says, don't over do the green just because you have it to adorn your bod. Maybe pick one wardrobe item, a shoe, bag or both, and then just one piece of bold jewelry or a couple of subtle accessories.
Or not. Go all out if you can either keep it fabulous or you don't give a darn.
But maybe the idea of going beyond the green appeals to you and your fashionableness, especially if you are Irish.
Here are some aspects of traditional Irish garb. I suggest to not incorporate more than one or two of these elements together, especially if you're layering on a ton of the grassy color.
- wools
- knits (arans, cables)
laces- brogues / wingtips (shoes)
- scally or "flat" caps
- plaid
- soft pleats, think less school girl more current femininity trend minimalism.
Or maybe you just want to be outside-the-box and go eco. Just please mix some actual green tone or some Ireland in!
