Shades of Green for St. Patrick’s Day
“May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light. May good luck pursue you each morning and night.”
Irish Blessings
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all my Irish and pretend-Irish friends! I wasn’t going to share a post today, but then I got inspired to do a quick roundup of some of my favorite green outfits. If you are feeling festive today for any reason, why not grab any shade of green, any shade will do, and join the Irish fun!
“Don’t throw away luck on little stuff. Save it up.”
Tim O’Brien
“‘When Fortune knocks, open the door,’ they say. But why should one make fortune knock, by keeping the door shut?'”
Idries Shah
“I have noticed that timing and luck sometimes line up in such a way that you can catch a break.”
Ellie Kemper
“I’ve always believed in luck. I love the fact that people can change their lives instantly.”
Fiona Barton
“You’ve got to think lucky. If you fall into a mud hole, check your back pocket. You might have caught a fish.”
Darrell Royal
“Ireland is a land of poets and legends, of dreamers and rebels.”
Nora Roberts
“Yeah, it’s St. Paddy’s Day, everyone’s Irish tonight. Why don’t you just pull up a stool and have a drink with us?”
Murphy Macmanus
“When it comes to luck you make your own.“
Bruce Springsteen
“You gotta try your luck at least once a day, because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it.”
Jimmy Dean
“Luck is not chance / It’s Toil / Fortune’s expensive smile / Is earned.”
Emily Dickinson
“May your troubles be less, and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door.”
Irish Blessing
“Imagine if we were all magical leprechauns, and every wish ever made on a four-leaf clover obliged us to help others obtain their wishes. Now imagine if people simply lived like this were true.”
Richelle E. Goodrich
“I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn’t been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn’t have been lucky.”
Oprah Winfrey
“The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.”
Barbara Sher
“We are all a great deal luckier than we realize, we usually get what we want—or near enough.”
Roald Dahl
May your day be filled with lots of love, luck, and laughter!
Keeping it on the edge,

Thanks so much, Ann! I am so glad that you enjoyed all my green outfits. Green has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. In fact, I don’t recall ever having another “favorite color”! And I do love it in any shade or hue or saturation!

So many pretty green outfits! What a fun post. Hmmm…., I think I have precisely two outfits with green in them. But it might still be fun to post them.

Thank you, Michelle! I am a little surprised that you don’t have more green…it is a great color for you! But it is one those colors that is not a favorite for most.

Wow, you really have some beautiful green clothes, Shelbee! I wore green today (post will be up soon), and I love every variety of it, from mint to emerald to olive.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Even if you’re not Irish!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Sheila! I also love every shade of green! It has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember! I think because I have green eyes (everyone else in my family has blue eyes), my mom always pushed the color on me. But I love it despite our natural inclination to always resist what our moms say! I hope you had a lovely St. Patrick’s Day, my friend!

You have quite an arsenal of green pieces! The bright kelly green ones I think are the most gorgeous on you but you wear them all well and I love the variety!

Thank you so much, Mireille! Kelly green is my favorite color ever but it is not so easy to find. I have managed to accumulate a small collection of Kelly green things in my wardrobe, but most of my green items end up being olive or forest green. IN any event, I love all green so I am always drawn to any shade of it.
