quicko: st. patrick's day green
One more thing! I forgot to mention that, really, kelly green is the green of St. Patrick's Day. So many Australians upon hearing of St. Patrick's Day's green requirement think they can get away with anything roughly in the neighborhood of green -- teal, aqua, turquoise, navy blue -- but this is not so. While you could argue a hunter or forest green through to a lime, if you really want to get it right you need to wear GREEN green. Clover green, you know? And lots of it -- an entirely green shirt would be most appropriate, as would a green dress, as would lots of green trimmings, er, accessories. Green pants would be fantastic. It's your own call where underwear is concerned, but, well, better safe than sorry is a good rule of thumb to go by. What doesn't count is green writing on your shirt, a smidge of off-green in a belt or tilting a blue piece of jewelry in the sun. Neither (nice try) do green eyes. Be green and proud, for Patrick's sake!!
