OOTD: Mint and Blue

First of all, I wanted to say that I am sorry that I haven't commented back to my last posts yet, my phone is constantly out of battery and I am very little on the computer these days. I will try to reply sooner or later, thank you for your patience!

I have been craving a pair of bottoms in a minty green and even more so since I bought the bazaar popover. While I can certainly wear it with denim and navy chinos, I thought it would look very fresh with mint. However I didn't want to spend much as colored bottoms are probably going out of fashion soon and I regretted paying full price for my festival green toothpicks last year, that I got tired of pretty quickly. I found a pair of mint jeans at Joe Fresh for $29 and the fit is very close to the toothpicks (I bought a size 0) so that sealed the deal.
I wanted to wear them with the popover today as I was meeting a friend for breakfast but it was (still is) deceptively cold this morning. When I tried them on in the store I was wearing my pointelle cashmere V-neck sweater from last year and the blue of the sweater made a nice colorblock effect against the green of the pants, a little bit like in this JCrew tee (that I like a lot, BTW, but not for $45):



So I decided to wear the combo today IRL. I never buy V-neck sweaters because I don't like to wear button-downs under my sweaters but this one was love at first sight and I ended up buying it in two colors, this blue (can't remember how it was called but it is a gorgeous shade of blue) and succulent green, during one of those 50% off crazy end-of-the-season sales. Being a summer cashmere sweater it is made to be worn without a shirt, which is what I like about it. The v-neck is not very deep and not very pointy and I am comfortable with wearing it without a layer. It looked just a bit unseasonal today to exposed all that flesh because it was so freaking cold (I would have worn a scarf but I don't have anything in those colors):







I did try the pants with the bazaar popover:




Last week I received my factory crystal studs necklace that was waitlisted when I placed my factory order. This one feels a bit cheap (in terms of weight, not appearance) compared to other factory necklaces that I have but the spearmint color is beyond gorgeous (these pics don't do the color justice) and goes very well with the bazaar print (I bought it initially to pair with my casbah print perfect shirt):



This gave me the idea to add it on to my today's outfit:



What do you think of this mint and blue combo? Anything mint under your radar? Please share!
