Last week I did a post titled “How to Use Pinterest as Your Shopping Assistant”.
(If you didn’t read the post, I suggest you do so you know what I’m talking about! Don’t worry… I’ll wait.)
And guess what, you guys?
I put my money where my mouth is and found myself a super awesome outfit for St. Patrick’s Day.
Here’s the thing: I’m Swedish (just in case the height and love of vodka didn’t tip you off) and have never gone out for St. Paddy’s. Hell, I don’t even like Guinness. But a couple of my Irish friends insisted I go out drinking with them.
((Well… if you insist…))
It was raining on Saturday, so a trip to the mall was just what I needed to get out without getting wet. But first? I went on Gap’s website to find myself something to try on.
Hello there, cute shirt!
After pinning several items of interest, I headed to the mall to try them on.
Since my local mall has free WiFi, I was able to reference my pins while trying things on, and then post pictures on Instag.ram and Twitter for instant expert opinions. The green striped tee was a unanimous “yes”.
Gap Tee and Jeans. ALDO Boots.
This is where the awesome part starts.
Equipped with my new shirt and a beer mug shaped hat with “Beer Me” embroidered on the front, my friends (along with our husbands) headed to the local Irish Pub.
Ken and I; My awesome tee and "Beer Me" hat; Bagpipes at the pub; Empty glasses.
Darts; Drunks killed the ATM; 80s Limo with horns.
And even though my drink of choice was Belvedere Pink Grapefruit and soda, I had a pretty damn good time.
I’d say this Pinterest Challenge was a success!
Speaking of loving vodka, check out our new Lemon Vodka Refresher at One Martini at a Time! It’s Grandpa Dale approved!
Ooh, cute shirt, yes!!
I LOVE THE GAP!
I’m going to out on a limb and say you may have been tipsy at the end of the evening.
that pub looks great,. I dig places like that. I bet the guinness taste like beer clouds.
I was a teeny bit. Not bad, though.
Looks like a great time Carri. Love the hat!
It was so much fun. That hat got a lot of attention!
Why was that hat not in your bag at Blissdom?
I wish I had it for Blissdom!
Looks like you had a plan and the execution was perfect. Great hat!

Thanks!! $5 at Big Lots! haha
You looked adorable!
Looks like a great time! Love the hat.
I would agree. kaye—the road goes ever ever on
Very cute top! When I first read the title I instantly thought of the picture that I saw of the toilet with green food coloring and little green foot prints on the rim. If you haven’t seen it you need to search for it. It’s too cute!! I had planned on doing it for the kids but could not find my green food coloring and I didn’t think that red food coloring would have the same effect.
Red food coloring would look like blood and freak the kids out! haha My son isn’t old enough to “get” the footprints on the toilet yet. Maybe in a couple of years.
Awesome shirt. Successful Paddy Day.
Thank you, Pinterest!!
Pinterest is sofa king awesome.
I love the Gap so much I would marry it. Really. Did you see the blue maxi skirt… I don’t even think I’m going to be able to wait until it goes on sale. I. Must. Have. That. Skirt.
I could marry the Gap and every article of clothing in it. I’m not a skirt kind of girl… but OMG they have red pencil capris with a white tank and black cropped jacket on display and I MUST HAVE THAT OUTFIT.
Unique and very creative.. Thanks to Pinterest.. the combination was perfectly executed..
I think I need to take your phone shopping with me.
You looked adorable!!! And yes, LOVE the shirt!!!
Thanks! I love the Gap.
