Fancy
Shmancy Thrifted Collar!
I’m on a
collar kick today as this is part two of a double blog post from yours truly
regarding the fabulous glam of the fancy collar—both on and OFF the shirt! (See my tutorial from earlier, “Upcycled Statement Collar Tutorial”.)
I was
inspired by something I’ve had up on my fashion corkboard in my room for
several months now. It was a feature on fancy collars from InStyle magazine:
I wanted
to find myself a lacy, fancy long sleeve collared shirt to layer in several
different ways and, as it turns out, a few weeks ago I found exactly what I was
looking for at Lakeshore Rescue Mission Thrift in Grand Haven, Mi!
As you
can see from the tag below, the shirt was $2.99, but it just so happened that
there was a “Buy one get one” sale happening that day, so in reality, I scored
the shirt for around $1.50.
The Way I Wore It...
I love the white and lace texture—I feel that it is going to pair with
SO many things! (Click the pictures to enlarge--note that, in the last picture, I'm layering gold jewelry underneath my collar and I centered the collar with a gold brooch as well!)
What do you think?
fantastic!!!!!!! Very glad i sent you there :D i LOVE this collar!
