    This is such a pretty color combo...makes me think of spring! I'm actually wearing blue and green together today but in cobalt and emerald.

    You definitely don't look like a nerd, but you do look preppy and pretty!  This is a great color combo :)

    Yes, to mixing blues and greens!  The tan belt and shoes are the perfect accent too.  You look great, J!

    Thank you for helping me get dressed today! I had absolutely no creativity this morning to do it on my own...wore a similar blue cardigan over a green T, plus a funky scarf.

    Awe, you definitely don't look like a nerd J!  You look so chic and effortless here.  I am really loving the colors all tied together.  I adore that necklace!  Can't believe you got it for $9!  That is a great deal girl!  xx

    Amazing outfit. You always give me new ways to spin pieces I already have in my closet. Can't wait to try this, but with shades of pink.

    like the blue and green together, but wasn't a fan of the brownish pants with it. i really don't think the top half suits the bottom half...

    I might have to try something similar paired with my yellow pants! I love mixing all colors of the rainbow, so I think the blue and green pair quite nicely together!
