When I sported a white polo for a little golf outing a few weeks back, reader Jessica asked how I might style a polo off the course. Well, here you have it. This J Crew polo is much softer than the average polo and feels more like a worn-in tee-shirt. I love the detail of the little pocket and extra buttons. I also love the color of this top – a pinky peachy almost coral. I think on the color wheel, it falls closest to pink (a shade of red) thus making its compliment green.

I wore a similar outfit when we explored complimentary colors back in February. Using the same necklace as my pop of green, this time I have wrapped it around my wrist several times to create an oversized bracelet. I loved S.’s big blocks of bright color yesterday and promise to give that approach a try at some point this week, but for now am easing into color mixing by grounding my look with a neutral base in the denim skirt.
Lately I’ve been wearing a lot of green and coral-ish too. It’s such a fresh summery combo.
Love the wrapped-up bracelet!
Great denim skirt! and I love your wrapped bracelet too!!
I love that pink polo on you. I also love how you paired it with green. I love love LOVE that beaded bracelet! Such a pretty color combination!
xo,

I love the touch of green in this look! And the pink top looks great on you!
Love the pop of green necklace/bracelet with the pink!
I adore pink and green together, but always fear looking a bit too Lily Pulitzer. LOVE how you’ve paired them here!
Cute outfit, I really love that green necklace and it looks lovely with the pink. I always have a hard time wearing polos too, I’ve finally discovered I like how they look when I mix them in with more “edgy” clothing, like a ragged edged denim mini and converse sneakers or flip flops.
Oooh I love your outfit, especially your green bracelet! So pretty!
Thanks for answering my question!
