I literally threw these together as fast as possible without thinking too much.

I'm out with a client but wanted to quickly chime in that I like where you are going with this palette.

Unroll the white jeans and olive pants a little. Nice new sandals too. Good job putting these looks together, Chris.

Good job! I really like #1 & #5. Do you have a light blue handbag that could become "the other blue" for the outfit?

JAileen

I like 1 and 5 also, particularly 5. I think the sleeve length along with the scarf is very pretty, and the olive pants fit you really well.

I really like this color combo. I especially like #5 with the scarf. I like the way the pattern on the shoes and the scarf seem to echo each other.

Great color palette… and a fun challenge. You have done a great job pulling this together. I especially love your outfit in #5.

Wow. I think these all are lovely. Baby blue and olive, with a bit of white, is a good combo!

I'll vote with the others on #1 and #5. Those colors are really fresh and pretty on you. I like Maneera's idea of a light blue bag to go with.

Mirjana

Agree with Angie about the lenght and vote for #1 and #5.

Thanks Angie and others on the length comments...keep those comments coming I will eventually get it right!
Jaileen you are not the first person that commented that these pants fit well but I think they are a tiny bit loose...have a similar color in a different brand on order that I think may fit even better
Maneera and Xtabay no I don't have a light blue bag but am thinking I need a new light colored bag and that color is a good option. In fact light blue/grey is really my favorite color perhaps because that's my eye color.
Sara L that scarf is a recent find from Nordstrom...posted it here...

and Janet gets credit for identifying the color combo as a good one...

#5!!! And those new blue sandals are just great. And agree with JAileen, the 3/4 length sleeve is very flattering. One thing I did with my rolled hem jeans that just looked too heavy when rolled was have some of the length removed. I could still roll them to the right (I think) length but there wasn't as much fabric there to fuss with
