Forever 21 sheer blouse and sweater (similar), H&M pearl collar, Uniqlo jeans (similar), Mixx Shuz pumps (luxury version), and Jason Wu for Target cat tote bag (similar)


Given my current preoccupation with pastels, I think there are few better color pairings for spring than mint green and soft pink.  (On second thought, lavender and pink are just as appealing to me.) While I'm still hunting for the perfect pair of mint green skinnies, this sweater from Forever 21 will have to satisfy my mint cravings for now. It actually has a sheer chiffon back (not pictured), which is a refreshingly fun and unexpected detail, especially for warmer weather.

Lovely mint shade! I agree, no better combo than mint and pink (or lavender!). Love your collars. You have such a pretty ready for spring outfit! :)

i cannot get enough!! i really need some colored jeans (the problem is picking which color(s) i like the best though).

you mixed the mint & pale pink so well! lavender is also one of my fave pastels right now, as is peach.

Totally jealous of that Jason Wu clutch. But besides that, I love your outfit. The mint with the pink is fabulous together.
