Hello everyone. Thank you for listening to Take a Passion Seat. So in a few days it'll be my birthday. So I want to talk about St. Patrick's Day green look. So I get excited every year because I was born on St. Patrick's Day. Nothing to do with the whole country. Nothing to do with the name of the holiday. But I was born that day. So I take great joy and excitement in celebrating it. So every year I had to go in my closet and put together a week worth of green looks. So it's like, oh my gosh, like this green thing again this year. So it's exciting. But I've never done a podcast on green looks. Like green with envy. So tonight let's talk about where you can buy green fashion, St. Patrick's Day looks. So for those of you who love holidays and like to get into the festive aspect of dressing, and some people they do every holiday. So a lot of people on St. Patrick's Day, it's an Irish holiday, by the way. And the Irish love to party and they love their green beer. So get ready, guys, for those who drink. I don't drink, but I do celebrate the holiday because it's my birthday. So places that you can get amazing green fashion is, and it's a whole bunch of them, and we'll get into it. So a few places for now, like where you can get everyday fashion, just some green tops, trousers, skirts. Uh Zara has some cute things. Stacy's um is another place you can get green looks. JCPenney, you can go online. You can't, I don't think there's a lot of JC Penny stores like they used to be, but you can shop online. Um, it's a store called Maybury. They have like more elegant looks. If you like if you're going out um maybe happy hour, you're going out later, you might want to do um that store. Like I said, Zara has like a whole bunch of like emerald green, they have like mint green, you can get hunter green, there's various colors now. In Maryland, like out in Baltimore County, there's a place called K, which I'm planning on going to shop this spring because they got amazing spring looks. KG has a lot of green clothing. Um, it's a place called Pretty Woman. They also have green looks. HM, guys, you can go to HM. There, I'm looking at their outfits. They got like Hunter, um, Emerald Green, um, even Old Navy and Fashion Nova. These are places where you can get um green fashion. Now, Walmart too. Walmart has a lot of green and coals. You can also go to rainbow shops as well. These if you're just looking for like something fun to put on. Now, if you want to spend a little more money, you want to go to Nordstrom's and Macy's, and um there's you anthropology has some really amazing green outfits that you could buy, so it's like a plethora of where you can buy um the green looks. Now, there's also the aspect of ages because you can get green fashion everywhere, but if you're looking for a specific, you know, type, you gotta go by age as well. So when you go in the store, go in the section that reflects the type of fashion that you like. So, green fashion is also sustainable, um, produced and marketed. You want it to be environmentally and socially responsible. So if you are into the earth and saving our planet, you want to get eco-friendly material like hemp, recycle polyesters, and you know, brands that practice ethic labor. You know, like don't we don't want things that shouldn't happen to take place when it comes to fashion. So eco-friendly is basically utilizing fabrics like in a sustainable way. Um the fabrics that are eco-friendly are like silks, linens, cotton, and the more innovative and lab-grown textiles. So that's what you want to look for. Um ethical conditions, make sure they don't come from places where um there's like young people working. Um, you want to make sure it's safe in working conditions and fair wages. They of are of age and that they can work. Um, so look for key brands that are eco-friendly when it comes to fashion. So that's just, you know, I mean, just putting it out there because I love sustainable fashion. Now I'm looking at this cute. Oh my gosh, guys, you're gonna love this. Go to Alice and Olivia Women's at Saks Fifth Avenue. Everybody should go get that little dress. It is so cute, it's sleeveless, and it's like a midi, and it's very cute, like you would love it. So that's somewhere that you could go get a cute green dress. Now I'm looking at I'm also because there's so many options, but you can also do green light fashion, green cosmetics as well, um, to match your outfits. So try to pair your outfits with like green makeup, like the eyeshadows, guys, basically. And I don't know about green lips, but you could do your eyes at least. And we talked about Zara, who has some cute stuff as well. Um, satin outfits and Lululus, too. You could get Lulu's or Paddle and Pop, they have it.

I'm gonna post those as well so you guys can see them before the show. So if you looked at the videos before the show, you would have seen that I showed the Toy Birch bag and the green, like they're not mid-green. The tennis shoes are like a hunter green, but you gotta see that toy birch green. Oh my gosh, green with envy. So there was like plenty of other places that you can get. Um now let's get into the green fashion designers because every designer doesn't do green because of the colors. I mean, it's it's it's it's gotta be hard because it requires dye.
