We both love any kind of special event that involves dressing up: holidays, parties, and especially costumed events!
St. Patrick’s Day can be a tricky holiday, because most people don’t have a ton of green in their wardrobe. Let’s face it, green – especially the indisputably bright kind that lets you avoid pinches – is kind of a hard color to wear.
That’s why we opted to go thrifting for this post: to avoid spending a lot on what might be wear-once-a-year items. Lucky for us, most of the thrift stores in our area are on top of current events and had a whole rack of green clothing set aside. But that didn’t stop us from diving into the rest of the racks in search of anything from hunter to chartreuse.
Work looks:
Chances are St. Patrick’s Day will fall on a work day, so we put together some outfits that are festive and have a pop of green, but still look professional.

Party Looks:
Whether it’s a casual backyard gathering or a out-all-night kind of event, bright green can be a fun accent.
