The whole time I was wearing this outfit, I wished I had worn white jeans instead. I think the green and navy would have really popped against the white! But it was still kind of rainy, and I have a horror of getting my white jeans dirty.
Merona navy short-sleeve buttondown (previously loved by E.I.)
green sweater, Old Navy
enamel necklace, eBay
