I have decided that the way you dress influences what people think about you.
 Duh, you say.
 Allow further explanation, I say.
Today I noticed more people smiling at me.  Walking into a doctor's office I'd pass a patient coming out.  More than once the patient issued me an uncharacteristically friendly smile.  I returned the gesture and kept walking.  Each time.  For it happened more than once.
 Around the fourth or fifth person I began to wonder if I had breakfast on my face or in my hair.  My approach to a mirror revealed that my appearance was food free.
Then I looked down at my feet.  Good golly, I'd forgotten that I was wearing bright green patent leather heels.  With buckles.  Oh my, and my jacket displayed the exact same hue.  I figured out right then why people were so smiley in my direction today.
They thought to themselves, That there is a lady leprechaun.  Perhaps a grand grin will earn me a gold coin or two.
Now I very much regret leaving my gold coins at home today.  I could have been a day-maker.

An Irishman in green? Of course people took notice.
They were smiling at you because they thought you were crazy. Not only are you not going to find a pot of gold in a gastro's office, but it is also June. You are a few months late.
Thanks so much for the headers. They totally fit my personality and blog. I'll put one on my blog tomorrow when I get a chance to talk to Ashley. Thanks again!
Kara's headers are amazing, I love them.
And I love your crazy colored outfits, they make me happy.
One thing I never THOUGHT I would do is correct your spelling.

I see no misspellings, you little imp!
