Being Irish!
3/17/2014
Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh or Happy St. Patrick's Day!
This is one of my favorite holidays and not just for the drinking. I love how everyone you see is wearing something green, I love Irish food and I'm not going to lie, I love the music and dancing! I usually play the Dropkick Murphys Pandora station ALL day on St. Paddy's Day and I love every second of it! Of course the (green) beer is a plus too, although I usually prefer the cider!
I had such a hard time finding something green this year. I felt like everything was mint green or sea green but I wanted emerald green so I began the hunt to find something that was the "perfect" color. After multiple stores I finally found this maxi skirt at Target (I shouldn't be surprised, I find EVERYTHING at Target!), not only was it the perfect color but it was also a maxi skirt - win for me! This whole outfit, down to my hair, was actually inspired by a co-worker of mine who came out to a bachelorette bar crawl wearing a similar outfit and the exact same hair style last weekend. I loved how casual yet chic it looks so I recreated it to celebrate St. Paddy's day with friends this weekend at Raglan Road. I decided to pair the maxi skirt with a tied off t-shirt from Hollister, a gold circular necklace from H&M that reminded me of a Celtic knot and sandals since walking around at Downtown Disney can be crazy (and it was!). Below is a preview of my St. Patrick's Day celebration, how did you spend yours?
{Me and my favorite girls, some crazy guy decked out in an entire rhinestone Ferrari outfit (stayed tuned, I might have to recreate that one ;) ), green drinks, green shots!}

Thanks doll! I had a blast too! We definitely need to get together again soon! :)
DeleteYou look awesome! I'm jealous of just how many great skirts you seem to have! Too bad Target online doesn't have the green color. You should do a tutorial on the hair! It's so cute!

Aww thanks Lauren! I know, they sold out online the day after I bought mine, I got lucky there! Hmm... I never thought of doing a tutorial, thanks for the idea! :)
DeleteI love maxi skirts/dresses & the colors in that one are so pretty! Also, your hair looks so pretty like that!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Carly!!!
DeleteLove the hairstyle you went with!! Great find with the maxi - I have found a few at Arden B that are reasonably priced and have a lot of fun colors!! Totally bypassed St. Patty's day this year and opted for low key!!
ReplyDeleteThanks love!! Nothing wrong with going low-key! You had an awesome weekend so you need to rest and relax! :)
DeleteSo cute!! I am obsessed with you hair! And the knotted tee is one of my favorite new trends for summer--and Target is always a miracle worker :)
