Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Go green. It's St. Patty's Day, after all.
2. Shop at a novelty or party supply store. They carry all kinds of St. Patrick's Day decorations for your home and your body.
3. Wear a green shirt and pants. Add some green to your hair, in the form of a barrette, clip, hat or temporary hair color spray. It's your chance to go over the top.
4. Dress warmly if you live in a part of the country that gets cold in March. To avoid covering up all that green you're wearing, buy a green coat, gloves and scarf.
5. Show your Irish heritage by wearing a T-shirt with a saying on it. They come with sayings like "FBI--Full Blooded Irish," "Kiss Me, I'm Irish," "Designated Irish Drink," and "Irish Drunk."
6. Make your face an Irish work of art. Use face paint to draw shamrocks on your cheeks.
7. Choose comfortable shoes. Even if you're watching the parade rather than walking in it, you'll be on your feet for a good portion of the day. You'll regret wearing insensible shoes.
