What a week this has been! Thank you so much for starting it, Bella. It's been a lot of fun.
Here's my final submission.
The bright green sweater was a slam dunk. The pants have both green and blue, and I usually split the difference and wear them with teal. The scarf mixes pale green with yellow, lilac, and a hint of sparkle, so was the best match for the inspiration pic.
With the pants, I was torn. Mostly, because I have the ideal pair: green with a graphic leaf print, but they're in the holding zone due to fit issues, and not readily available even to show you. They were much loved as my first "wild card" pair of floral print trousers, that worked surprisingly well, so much so that I bought more in later years. Pair #2 (in pic #2) is my favourite and most worn. I took the flat lay pics to convince myself which worked better.
I had a selection of ditzy floral print scarves too, but the colours weren't as suitable.
My preppy instinct was to layer over a big white shirt, but I think this needs the close juxtaposition of colours to reflect the riotous vegetation.
Also, these pants are shorter than I remembered (yay rayon), but the flash of skin seemed fitting.
I wore knee high riding boots from home because our mixed rain/snow storm is ongoing. I can say they were for the military influence in the story? But I admit, I followed Bella's link to refresh my memory.
