Kiss me, I'm Irish!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. If you live anywhere near me, in Southern California, you may have noticed that on this beautiful and traditional holiday we Americans celebrate (by drinking excessively and wearing green), it has been pouring non-stop since this morning. Again, if you're like me, your first thought is probably, "So that pretty much ruins my outfit plans for the night." But worry not, as someone who plans their outfit before leaving the house just to get stamps, I've figured out a solution to still look cute tonight--in the rain--and by wearing green still.

Again, this holiday can be kind of disruptive in a normal fashion blogger's everyday life. Green is really not an essential color to my wardrobe, if you know what I mean. I pretty much have one forest green sweater, a deep emerald green Obey tank top, and one killer emerald green dress with black zebra print. So obviously I opted for the dress and glittery heels (yes, it's THAT kind of night). But now that I've realized it's raining, as fabulous as my dress is, I'm pretty sure a soaked dress and hairstyle doesn't really make a great outfit..

So I'm re-evaluating. I realize I can still wear my heels (rain or shine, my feet will be lookin' fine), but I either am going to have to go heavy duty and wear my peacoat over, or change to a jacket-dress combination. The only problem with bringing a jacket is having to carry it around everywhere when you're out bar hopping--I know, first world problems. In any case this is my solution: multiple outifts.

My outfit tonight will pretty much stay the same, I just have two additional options in case of the weather. Now, if it were a normal summer-like spring night, my "party outfit" would consist of of just this Obey green tank top, a black mini from H&M, a gold bracelet and gold ring both from H&M, and my glitter stilettos.

But since we live in bipolar-weather-land in SoCal, depending on how hard it'll be raining I'll change my outfit. If it is actually raining, it's going to be freeezing, and I'm not down for my legs to be soaked BARE. So I would simply put on a faux fur jacket from H&M, switch from a black skirt to black leggings from H&M (Trend), and bring a stylish umbrella.

However, if it's NOT raining, and it's just nasty outside and relatively cold, I'll keep my outfit the same as the original, but instead I will just throw a peacoat on.



As you can see, nothing is getting in the way of me wearing my brand new glitter shoes tonight. With that said, hope you've planned multiple outfits fitting to however you decide to celebrate this holiday--and everyone be safe and careful tonight!
