What I'm Wearing: St. Paddy's Day

Cardigan: Thrifted, taken in by me
Tank: Old Navy
Skirt: Thrifted
Tights: Sock Dreams
Boots: Steve Madden
Earrings: Anthropologie

This morning I came to the profound realization that I own five green skirts. Then I went out to Salvation Army and bought a sixth. I can't explain this phenomenon, but at least the holiday gives me a good excuse to wear one.

Anyone else have any bizarre wardrobe over-abundances? (Or paucities?)

Today, like last Wednesday, was a beautiful un-seasonably warm sunny day. Though low-40s are predicted for Monday, I'm trying not to think about that. For the time being, I'm going to pretend I live in a place where it's regularly 64 and sunny in March.

Soon, soon there will be crocuses...

I'm with you on the abundance of green skirts. I say you can't have too many! I was in shock this morning when a co worker told me she didn't own any green...I mean, really!?

Kristina Strain said...

Agreed! Green is (obviously) one of the staple colors of my wardrobe. Some people just don't like it, I guess.

I forgot my St. Patty's day attire, can you believe it! I did some celebrating this weekend so it totally fell of my radar. But I'm thinking green :)

Stephanie-- glad I'm not the only one with color preferences. The borwnie recipe was actually from a Bon Appetit cookbook I have.

Such a gentle and warm look. Love the Irish Rose earrings.

I like the look gal!

I have way too many white t-shirts in varying stages of wear from semi-new to geez, it's a rag throw it away already!

Kristina Strain said...

Becky-- I have tons of t-shirts too, mostly from former clubs/activites/employers. Most of them I'm too sentimental to get rid of, so I'm comtemplating making a t-shirt quilt.

we dress soooo much alike! and i wore a green skirt for st. patty's, too ... my downfall is vintage dresses. i have two closet bars full of them, no joke. I just planted my first thing ever today .. .cat grass!! swiss chard seeds go down tomorrow. i'm excited!!

Kristina Strain said...

Karen-- I have a couple of vintage dresses, nothing like your collection, though. I haven't really worn them out much because I'm wary of feeling like a walking museum. Know what I mean? How do you wear them?
