I forgot. I think all my green clothes (I have maybe 2 green shirts) are dirty anyway. ---

Disregard that stray purple word, I was trying to use the color command to provide a visual example of the color of my pants and accidentally hit submit. ---

Not only am I wearing my green Flogging Molly T-shirt, but yesterday I finally had the hairdresser cut all the remaining black off my hair, so all that’s left is my natural red. I’m feeling oh-so-very-Irish today! ---

I’m not wearing green, but I sent the kidlet to school in a kelly-green polo shirt and jeans. I’m wearing a red sweater and jeans. I’m alone, so it’s okay. Robin ---

Moss-green jacket over white turtleneck, with a little 4-leaf-clover pendant. My usual St. Patrick’s day wear. And jeans because it’s Friday. ---

I’m still in my (non-green) bathrobe, but my wife (who _is_ wearing green) is out parading our daughter around in the [St. Patty’s Day outfit](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?dispsize=604&album=Shayla&pic=Shayla109.jpg&start=90&picindex=108&mode=) one of her aunt’s bought her. ---

I have an Elton John / Billy Joel - River of Dreams Live in 94 t-shirt on today. ---

I’m another redhead with a fair amount of green in my wardrobe. Lime green zip up vest over a long sleeved black shirt today. ---

Yes, I’m wearing green. I used to make a point not to wear green on St. Patty’s Day, since I wasn’t Irish and I thought it was a stupid holiday anyway. Then I found out that I am, due to the infidelity of one of my recent forbearers, part Irish after all. So now I take a sort of perverse pleasure in celebrating the Family Secret. ---

The only green item of clothing I own is a T-shirt, and I’m wearing it now. ---

I thought about it while getting dressed this morning, but I only own a few green pieces of clothing and didn’t feel like wearing any of them today. My only Irish accessory is the Claddagh ring that I always wear. 🙂 I did bring in a great big button I have that says “Kiss Me, I’m Irish,” but I’m not going to wear it … I think I’ll add it to the small collection on my corkboard. I’m in blue today: jeans, a dark blue [Cowboy Mouth](http://www.cowboymouth.com) t-shirt, and [these](http://www.thewalkingcompany.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=155809) shoes. I had a very hard time deciding whether to wear socks today, but in the car on the way to work I decided to go sockless. ---

I don’t like the only green shirt I own, so nope. I do however have a big ol shamrock tattooed on the back of my left calf. Suppose that counts? ---

I have on a green T-shirt that says “Everyone Loves An Irish Girl.” I rarely wear eyeshadow, but today am featuring Almay’s color kit for green eyes. Later tonight I will accessorise with stout and whiskey. I’m another redhead with a lot of green in my wardrobe. ---

I’m wearing jeans and a snug green sweater that my husband likes but I probably shouldn’t be wearing to work. Here in the engineering department it’s fun to check out which of these guys is quietly wearing a green shirt. It’s not been the ones I would expect. Of course, over in accounting they have a christmas tree decorated for St. Patrick’s day. ---

I’m wearing [this shirt](http://www.matthewoverton.com/images/wallpaper/flogging_molly/flogging_molly_1600x1200.gif) right now. The sad thing is, it’s the third time this week I’ve worn it to work. Wore it Monday 'cause it was the first shirt I grabbed. Then I remembered it was St. Patrick’s Day this week, so I washed it and wore it again on Wednesday. Then someone pointed out to me that St. Patrick’s Day is, in fact, the 17th, not the 15th. So I washed it _again_ and wore it today. Everyone at work probably thinks I’m totally skeevy, now. ---
