OOTD: St. Patty's Day, Easy Being Green

I guess it was inevitable.  I was bound to be the first customer for Sonshine Shop Vintage.  That's the tough part of having first dibs on all of these amazing items.  When you're the first to get your hands on them, it's hard to not want to buy them all for yourself!!

When I saw these green silk pants, I knew that I would eventually buy them.  And when I did, I wore them for three days in a row practically.  They are so light and comfortable.

Of course, I wore these lovely green pants on St. Patrick's day!

This amazing beaded purse was...my mother's!  If you couldn't tell by my outfits, I've been really into the style and fashion from the era of Downtown Abbey.  The long beaded necklaces, loose sparkly tops, and delicate, fancy hairstyles.

Aside from wearing green on that day, I've learned some about St. Patrick and his life and have a huge amount of respect and admiration for it.  This article tells you a little more about the patron saint of Ireland, and the movement through Celtic Christianity that changed the world.  Celtic values and love for nature, community, and hospitality were the heart of their spirituality, which is so inspiring.  

I had the privilege of visiting Ireland at a very young age, and I really sensed these values.  Everyone I met smiled at me, and I felt so welcomed.  I fell in love with their culture and people.  Maybe because Irish culture and history feels so close to home, to Korean culture.  A friend posted this article on Facebook which is hilarious, but is completely true!  Koreans and the Irish have much in common that we are called the Irish of the east!  Peace!
