It's coming up on St. Patrick's (or "Paddy's) Day and time for "Wearin' the Green". Did a little research and found out there was much I didn't know. "The Wearing of the Green" is an Irish street ballad lamenting the repression of supporters of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It is to an old Irish air, and many versions of the lyric exist. The revolutionary Society of United Irishmen adopted green as its color, and supporters wore green-colored garments, ribbons, or a shamrock. For this challenge post apparel or articles of green that can be WORN - clothing, jewelry. You can find the ballad "The Wearin' O' the Green" here.

Here are a few to start off
It's coming up on St. Patrick's (or "Paddy's)... (show quote)

Hi all,
Although my DNA says I'm 19% Irish, I don't know a lot about my Irish history in mother land. Other than, when they fled Ireland to escape the British strong hold and the Catholic religion, they brought with them diverse knowledge and strong will to succeed, that ultimately helped build America.
With that, I only have a few that may qualify as "Wearin O the Green".


p.1 Nice wearables, Sunny. I am wondering if #2 is a "cockade." Saw that word used in one description and looked it up: a cockade is a knot of ribbons, or other circular- or oval-shaped symbol of distinctive colours which is usually worn on a hat. Sometimes they were pinned to lapels or a woman might wear them in her hair; different colors stood for different causes. Glad you posted that. Only Irish in our family is all on husband's side and a shamrock creamer and sugar bowl for "tea".

Found some shoes for Photogirl's collections. (hint: I don't wear much green, but found lots of it in Goodwill stores and I let my iPhone do it's job!) These shoes were spotted in Goodwill.... got carried away (but not by the store staff!)







Sandals are NOT snowshoes - however I know some college students who have worn sandals all winter long....

Dogs can wear green too...............
This is our rescue lab named "Fern" because when we got her as a pup 12 years ago she had beautiful green eyes that have since turned yellow. She is very atheletic and playful and a while back tried her paws at
doggie surfing. Take a look.........chase
