Suitable for St. Patricks’ Day
The secular celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, as I see it, has three real purposes: 1) for kids to eat green cupcakes until they’re sick, 2) for adults to drink green beer until they’re sick, and 3) for everyone to pretend they’re Irish for the day as an excuse to be loud and wear gaudy clothing.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! Enjoy this women’s church suit and hat by Donna Vinci that suitably merges the religious and secular purpose of this holiday for the sake of fashion. I’d need to consume at least three leprechaun-shaped hats full of green beer in order to wear that out in public, even on St. Patty’s day. Click on the photo to see more detail, including the really crappy Photoshopping.
I am Irish. So it’s my day to watch Quiet Man, usually drink non-green libations (though I did have green wine in Fresno, much to the delight of my college age waiter) and dream about going there someday.
Oh, and if you’ve ever watched the movie, the fact that Brad’s mother’s maiden name was Thornton will be meaningful. It just kills me, every year.
Dream about going to Fresno or Ireland?
I have not seen Quiet Man before. It has been placed in my Netflix queue. But come on, Colleeen. If you’re Irish I really think you NEED that hat!
P.S. Sorry we missed crossing paths at the airport!
