Thursday Trend: Luck of the Irish

03/14/13 | BCBG, Fashion and Style, Giuseppe Zanotti, holiday, Ivanka Trump, J Brand, Oscar de la Renta, Stella McCartney, Thursday Trend

St. Patrick’s Day is on Sunday!

Last year I celebrated in this glorious celebration of my heritage Washington, D.C. and this year I am  excited to be able to spend time with good friends on this amazing holiday in New York City.  I am still determining exactly what I will be doing and the only thing I am sure of right now is that it is going to be fun! The two pictures above are my day and night time outfits I wore last year and the past week I have been racking my brain for casual yet chic outfits that will work for my yet to be determined plans running around the island of Manhattan.  I know this is a day to grab a Guiness but as one who really does not like bear I am sure I will be sipping on some Pinot Griogio and reveling in the great excuse to day drink and be thankful that this wonderful holiday falls on a weekend this year.
Here are two outfits I styled for Sunday’s festivities 
(now only if I owned all of these great pieces: 

DAY: Tank / Collar / Pants / Bracelet / Flats
NIGHT:  Dress / Tights / Necklace / Clutch / Pumps

What are your plans for St. Patrick’s Day?

Ps. Do not forget to enter my 1,000 follower giveaway with over $500 in prizes!

    I am actually running a half-marathon on St. Patty’s Day. It’s St. Patty’s Day themed though hosted by Yuengling, so I have a feeling it’ll be a fun little party once we’re done!
