The Look of The Irish

The Emerald Isle is known for more than leprechauns, beer & potatoes.
The Irish are famous for their beautiful tweeds, Aran sweaters, woolen knitwear of all kinds, plaids & tartans and intricate lace.
Fashions include driving caps, top hats, fedoras, trilbys & derbies, plus fours, vests, capes & cloaks, turtlenecks & cardigans, long peasant dresses with corset bodices & full sleeves, lacy blouses, dresses, shawls & scarves.
Jewelry features Celtic crosses, trinity knots, shamrocks & claddagh rings.
This week we celebrate the Look of the Irish!
