Tween Fashion Friday - Darby

Happy St Patrick's Day! My mother's family is of Irish descent & I live north of Boston, so St Patrick's Day is definitely a thing around here.  My grandfather's family settled in northern Vermont during the 19th century Irish immigration.  We have very little actual ethnic heritage in any of my family but once a year, my mother and grandfather have corned beef & cabbage.

I actively avoid corned beef and cabbage.

Honestly, I can't even be in the house when they have it. I'm glad they love it and somehow feel connected to their heritage or whatever but really, I just can't.  I'll take my green beer and curried chips, thank you very much.


Today is the last of the green/Irish mix and match sets.  Not sure what I'll do next.  Maybe something bright and spring-ish....even though we have 20 inches of snow here. Again.  Anyway, enjoy your St Patrick's Day and hopefully (HOPEFULLY!!!!!!) spring is around the corner!

      I'm accidentally moving toward themed months. It wasn't anything I really thought out, but that's what seems to be happening. Maybe a spring set next....

      Darby is typically a male name but I didn't care! My mother loves this Disney movie called Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Personally, I hate this movie and she watches it EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR. But that's why Darby stuck out in my head as a particularly Irish name!
