I really did not want to pull out my old reliable Odanodan avatar, again, this year, and went messing around with the Avatar Builder, to discover Tory of the Glen. Now I realize that this is actually a Scottish item, but did you know that both the Scotts and Irish played the bagpipes and wore clan kilts? So, I happily post my St. Pat's Celtic Version of Shamrock Luck, here, below.
The jacket is a Gaia oldie -- Scott Coat -- and I layered it over the Tory of the Glen's Embroidered Outfit -- pants and sleeveless top -- because I did not want to show off my bare arms. I wanted to look a little more distinguished than that.
In actual heritage, I am a IRL Celtic mix of Irish and Scottish, so, I have a fondness for St. Patrick's Day -- and even got the chance to visit Ireland, on holiday, which was a grand, memorable event!
Now, because I enjoy experimenting, here is Tory of the Glen without the influence of the Scott Coat and kilt. So now I look like I am ready for River Dance, or to pick a fight. xD
If anyone within our Guild can suggest a simple, tailored green jacket which would layer well over the Tory of the Glen's Embroidered Outfit, please let me know! Thanks, in advance for your input.
Also, I might need to save up my gaia_gaiagold to wear this outfit, because Tory of the Glen is currently priced in the Marketplace @ 279,237,300,000g ~ but there is always next year, yes?
Happy Saint Patrick's to you all! Kudos, ~VSC

Thank you for this thread! It's nice to get into the holiday spirit. I went onto the builder, but I couldn't really find any items that layer well with that coat. :c This could also be because I am miserably inept at designing male avis (it's a skill I continue to curse myself for not having).
Sigh I haven't made a St. Patrick's Day avi in an age! I don't have much green in my inventory, and I'm reluctant to buy items that I will likely only use once. I might think about designing something in the builder, though, just to practice with some of the green-heavy color schemes on gaia.
As a side note, do any of the items you quest ever come back to the marketplace?! I keep wanted to buy you gifts, but your questing items are never available! It's ridiculously frustrating - which means it must be nearly unbearable for you.

I just changed his avatar to a St. Pat's one, and I'll post it here, for a comparison.
So, in answer to your question -- I don't really take questing very seriously, and will often trade items between accounts. And in the case of Gruelgrimm owning Tory of the Glen, and having a more substantial gold reserve than I do at the moment, I will hop back on the Gruelgrimm account and see if he can make some sort of Irish green item purchase for me (because I think Tory of the Glen is priced a little too high at the moment.)
And if you think I am being a bit obsessive, it's OK -- because I am in the process of dressing ALL of my 9 Gaia accounts in Irish green. I did this last year, as well -- but I think this year's avatars are coming across a little more stylish. Perhaps it is due to the lessons I have learned in this guild -- well, I would like to think so -- because stretching the imagination helps the grey matter grow!
I think I will be happy with whatever avatar build I eventually come up for this account -- VSC is very easy to please. xD
Kudos ~VSC

Well, as you can see by glancing at my Avi, I came up with an Irish solution, but not as I had first intended. Pairing my Green Gentleman avatar (topcoat and vest by Woo Me -- (Prince Woogis) and the pants -- an unusual selection, but they work in a pinch -- Green Hibiscus Pajama Pants --EDIT: changed for Easter 2k18 Trousers) with MANtis, makes a very special chummy Irish Celebration. Now, compare this years' duo with the avatar build from last year, which I call "Green Beer Advice" --
Well, I think the concept works, but I like this year's St. Pat's build much more.
Both are humorous, but in different ways -- and yes, Odanodan got equipped again this year (as the hat.) xD
I also equipped my free Spinami win of an Astra: Halo of light to give this avatar a little bit of bling. cat_3nodding
I wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day! And may the luck of the Irish come your way. Kudos, ~VSC
