It being St Patrick's Day, I decided to hunt around for photos of Irish Soda Bread (which is delicious), Guinness draught beer (also delicious), and any cool item of green clothing that stood out. First, I typed "pretty green shirt," and this crazy guy came up (see photo above). The second thing I typed in was "green dress."
The first image of a green dress that caught my eye was from the film "Atonement" with Kiera Knightley. Apparently, this dress was recently voted "Best Film Costume of All Time" by Sky Movies and InStyle readers?! Wow.
As a designer I have to admit I love the dress: the color, the drape, the lovely fluttering silk? Hard to resist. But the Best of All Time? Seems a little bold. Regardless, it's very pretty, and constitutes my St Patrick's Day green. Which I'm not wearing. But secretly wish I were. Even a little bit like a bracelet would be better than the absolute zero green that I am adorned with.
It begs the question: is it a little bit sad that I stocked up on Guinness and had a nice healthy slice of Irish soda bread but didn't bother to wear green?
