16 Mar Green for St Patty’s Day
Hi ladies!
I hope you are well and had a good weekend
I am wearing green this week for St Patty’s Day.
Happenings
I do not live under a rock, and even then it would have to be a rock buried under a whole lot of dirt underground if I didn’t know or pay attention to what was going on in the world. I do think the news is sensational and presented in such a way that has caused heightened fear and panic. We did go to the store and wash our hands religiously, taking necessary precautions against the Coronavirus. I haven’t talked about it on this blog, as I want this to be a diversion and a place where you can find a bit of solace to what is going on in the world.
I am prepared and hope you are as well, but I can’t watch the news non-stop as it just adds to the stress I am feeling. Although fashion might seem a bit frivolous right now, it is a needed escape.
So, wearing green for St Patty’s Day. Although the parades, parties and such have been canceled, you can still dress for the day in green to show a bit of St Patty’s Day Spirit.
I am wearing a green print dress and decorated my Antho jean jacket with one of my favorite green brooches. For a bit more spice, I added lace socks to my black pointed Marc Fisher pumps.
We found the one or two blooming Crepe Myrtle trees in the neighborhood and took a few pictures there.
Having some fun with these lace socks from Amazon with my Marc Fisher block heels.
Outfit-
dress c/o Karina
bag- Zara

Take care,
HOPE TO SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR TURNING HEADS TUESDAY LINKUP!

Then your lace socks are just too stinking adorable! I love this look head to toe! And yes, please keep sharing fun and happy things like outfits here. We all need some positive distractions!

Posted at 10:06h, 17 MarchTrue Jodie. Maybe not the right word. I think people need other things to think about and it does help! I love the brooch too!

Posted at 15:51h, 16 MarchWhat a cute look, Jess. I agree that the news presentations are heightening people’s fears. Ugh. I always forget to add lace anklets to my pumps! I love the brooch on your jacket, too, it adds a nice sparkle.
