Wearing of the green

If you meant to wear something green today and you found yourself leaving home this morning without wearing anything green that people might see and notice, don't worry. I have a quick, fun solution for you. Take a dollar bill (or larger denomination if you want to be sporty) and fold it into an interesting shape and pin it to your collar, lapel, placket, or shirt pocket.

What says green more than money?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Terry,

This way, as long as you don't lose your shirt, you'll at least have a dollar. :)

Time to polish up on my origami skills....how do I make this dollar look like a Crane?  I'm sure I'll have it figured out my next St. Pattys day.  Thanks for the tip Steve!

Hmm...   Beer money or wearing green...  Hobbesian choice...  No really folks - I'm in the office today and not at the Hibernian parade in Dogtown.

Take one of your $20 business cards and tape it to your forehead or pin it to your pocket. :)

Steve,

That sounds like a thought. I notice that I have zero green on today....zero.

Hi Steve - What a fun idea. Thanks for sharing it. This Irish person always remembers to wear her green, but it will be fun showing the green, too!

Posted by Karen Pierce Cooper| Housing Counselor |Oregon about 3 years ago

Steve,

You could show people your AR profile picture - the one with you in the green jacket. :)

Hi Steve...I not only wore green, I drove my green Toyota Prius hybrid.  What could be more green than that?

Maybe riding a green bicycle? Sounds like you had the day covered very well. :)

What a great idea. I don't know how I forgot- it totally slipped my mind! I used one of the various little clover confetti punch outs to tape to me. It worked ;)

Thanks for sharing, Nicole Weidauer

Cute idea, Steve!  I didn't wear any green that day...  I'm glad that I didn't get pinched!  :)
