Lovie Chics St Patricks Day Costumes

Green shows up first, since the doll starts in a plain outfit and the initial tap almost always lands on a green top or dress before anything else. Lovie Chics St Patricks Day Costumes builds the look around that one color, so each new piece either matches the green or plays off it with gold.

The wardrobe groups around the holiday's usual signals: shamrock-print dresses, a felt top hat, striped knee socks, buckle shoes and a coat in kelly green. Accessories bring in gold coins, a four-leaf clover pin and a ribbon bow, while hair options range from tight curls to a braid pinned up under the hat. Hats and coats layer over the base dress, so the top hat and coat can both go on at once without hiding the outfit underneath.

Where this costume dress up game differs from a regular fashion round is the single holiday theme running through every piece, so nothing in the closet pulls the look off-topic. A finished outfit ends in a pose that shows off the full green-and-gold combination at once.

Sticking to one shade of green across the top and coat keeps the look from splitting into two different outfits, and saving the gold accessories for last stops them from getting buried under a coat. The top hat is worth trying even if it looks big at first, since it reads as the clearest holiday signal in the whole look.
