Got green?

It's that time of year again.  Time to adorn yourself in green from head to toe, guzzle green beer, get sloppy and pass out before dark.  That's how it works in Dallas anyway. 

Every year Dallas has a big St. Patty's Day parade followed up with a block party.  We all gather early at our friend's house closest to the block party, drink mimosas, eat breakfast and walk over to the party.   It's always an adventure and every year we have new stories to tell from this day.  I love it!  Definitely one of my most favorite times in Dallas.  Here is a picture of some of us at the Block Party last year:



One problem.  I have nothing to wear yet and as usual, I wait until the last possible moment to go shopping.  I've kind of had my eye out for green dresses, but haven't fell in love with anything yet.  I threw together an affordable look from Charlotte Russe since there is one right by my office.   I might have to go scoop this ensemble up after work.  This day is all about having fun and you are on your feet for hours.  Sandals or flip-flops are a must, trust me.

How do you spend St. Patty's Day in your city?  And more importantly, do you have something cute and green to wear yet??

    where i went to college in Columbia, SC they have a HUGE St Pat's day thing where are the bars are downtown. They block the intersections off and you just walk around, get food, listen to bands, drink, etc. i can't go this year b/c i have other plans. i'm really sad. i've been like the past 6 years in a row.

    Your St. Patrick's Day sounds like so much fun! Can I come visit for it please? Nothing terribly exciting happens out here and suddenly I feel like I'm missing out!

    I love St. Patrick's Day! Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of crowds, so I tend to do a more chill routine in recent years! Looks like SO much fun though!
    I also love the green aviators you posted!

    Great blog...following you now ;-)
    Have a great weekend!
