St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and it’s a pretty big deal in Pittsburgh. From the parade to all of the festivities in the downtown and surrounding areas, Pittsburgh is the place to be. We have some great ideas to make this St. Patrick’s Day one for the books.

The Parade

The annual St. Patrick’s Day parade is on Saturday, March 14 at 10 a.m. The parade will begin at the intersection of Liberty Avenue and 11^th Street and go away from downtown toward Grant Street, where it will eventually lead to the Boulevard of the Allies.

The 2015 Parade Grand Marshall is Marty Madigan, a first-generation American whose entire family hails from County Galway, Ireland. He is a Pittsburgh native who recently retired from the Allegheny County Register of Wills office after 35 years.

For more information about the parade and what is going on around the city on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, make sure to check out the official Facebook page of the 2015 parade.

What to Wear

With all of the crazy temperatures Pittsburgh has been experiencing the past few months, warm weather is not guaranteed. This year’s St. Patrick’s Day fashion is going to be all about the layers. Luckily, we have you covered for any scenario.

Although we aren’t ordinarily a fan of green nails; for the occasion, we love this OPI color, “Jasper Jade”. It’s the perfect shade of green to bring you the luck of the Irish.

We love this J.Crew Classic Merino Wool Long Cardigan to wear to the parade … it’s the perfect piece to layer, depending on the weather.

We also love this layered look for the parade.

If you’re looking for a chic outfit to wear into the office on the actual St. Patrick’s Day (which falls on a Tuesday), look no farther than these cute combos for inspiration.

For colder weather, these Hunter Original Tall Rain Boots would be perfect for the parade.

For warmer temperatures, slip into these Tory Burch Mini Miller Flats in Pond Green.

Accessories

If you don’t feel like wearing green, remember the details are in the accessories! From sunglasses to clutches to earrings – and everything in between – you can add a pinch of green!

Add a pop of color with green lenses with these Original Wayfarer Ray Bans.

We love the idea of adding a green statement necklace or scarf to your outfit.

We love this Alex and Ani green bangle to stack on your wrist.
