During a particular phase of my life, though I'm not Irish, wearing green on St. Patrick's Day was a must for me. I like that sort of thing, wearing the same as the rest of the group, that is. I'm not necessarily excited about wearing a uniform all the time, such as when I worked in retail & I had to wear a white shirt with khakis, navy, or a black solid. Or when I must be wearing a collared white top & if I am chilly or cold what I choose to wear with my colored white top must also be white.
These are certain limiting parameters which are more frustrating than anything. It can make it easier to get dressed when it's time to go to work, yet sometimes I find myself looking at some of the other items I've to pick from & think how nice they look -- sometimes I think they'd look even nicer. Especially when jeans count as a navy & I see a respectable skirt I've with a print on it, which doesn't match the requirements, & therefore I'm not to wear it. So there I am putting on my white with a neutral solid.
On the flip side, when I attend an event where the organizers are planning to have everyone wear black on the bottom (pants or skirts), or khakis & the event shirt for their top, I'm all over it & super bummed when I forget & attend in ordinary clothes.
I favor blue, yet green is a secondary preference color for me. Which means I've plenty of aqua & turquoise shaded options in my wardrobe as well as green. At least I'm well prepared to coordinate with society on such a day...though, without even thinking, today I chose a coordinating black & blue printed top & skirt. I often wear a black long-sleeve underneath this short sleeve top & today's no different. Besides, I'll likely be wearing a jacket all day as well. The weather won't be turning, at least not far enough, for a few more weeks. Layering is still necessary...& today's a day when I do not need to be coordinating in a white collared top & solid skirt. So enjoy today's freedoms, I will.
