Happy St. Patrick's Day 2017

You will be pinched today if you are not wearing green, because it's... St. Patrick's Day! I love that the holiday is falling on a Friday this year, because it just makes this day a little more fun. I am not Irish, and don't know much about the holiday other than it's named for a saint, so I've been reading up on it. Apparently, wearing green (and pinching people who aren't) is an American tradition.

But I'm having fun with it anyway.


Dress: Parker Ryker Knit Ruffle Dress in Hunter Green

I knew when I saw this dress that I just had to have it. I love the ruffles at the neck and sleeves, and the whole silhouette is so flattering. It's also perfect for wearing on St. Patrick's Day!

You can find the dress at Amazon in green, red or black. Revolve Clothing also has it in black.

Sandals: Prada Bow Tie Platform Sandals (no longer available)

Jedediah Bila wore the dress on The View this past fall. I have seen maybe one or two episodes of The View, but I am a fan of ShopYourTV.com. This site, as opposed to WornonTV.net, tends to have a lot of outfits from daytime television, so if you're curious about what the anchors wore on Good Morning America, check out ShopYourTV.com.

Update: Amy Robach wore the dress on a July 2018 episode of Good Morning America! She's one of my favorite anchors.

I'm absolutely exhausted from this week. I guess now that I'm getting older, any change to my sleep schedule is a big deal. I've been having a hard time falling asleep and an even harder time waking up now that time has shifted an hour earlier. I'm all for more daylight in the evenings, but the change is just killing me. I'm hoping I can catch up on some sleep and fully adjust to the new schedule this weekend.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
