Top Spots For St. Patrick's Day Attire In South Florida

One of the many joys of St. Patrick's Day is finding attire that fuels the camaraderie of the day and brings the spirit of the leprechaun alive. Either head to a specialty store to purchase a fully made costume with no manmade intervention or shop for the various pieces that combine into one amazing costume based on an idea initially created in your imagination. Either option requires some preparation if you want to stand out in the crowd, even after a few good green beers.

St. Patrick's Day is not always about the Irish bar and overflowing green beer. Sometimes it is the type of holiday to dress up in green gowns or a green party dress or a green micro mini dress. The Rabbit Hole is just that type of vintage store that can give you a unique green glow. Keep in mind that every piece that you try on in this vintage shop has been hand-selected, one by one, curated for massive visual energy, quality, and relevancy as it relates to today's style. For instance, there is the green 1970's maxi dress that is a long sleeveless beauty or the 1980's cupcake sea foam green party dress with a micro pleated full skirt and waterfall sleeve cuffs. Your date will never look at St. Patrick's Day in the same way again.
