Peter Pan Collar

Monday, October 28, 2013

Good morning, everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. Homecoming was so much fun. It was great to see all my friends, eat at our favorite restaurants, and go to the usual bars. Highlights of the weekend include the homecoming parade, a corn hole (or bag toss) tournament, and a live band at a bar playing great dance music! It was great to be back at school but I am definitely glad that I am no longer a student :).

A trend that I really loved earlier this year was the Peter Pan Collar top. However, I wanted to find a cheap version of it so that  I could make sure I actually liked it before splurging for one. I looked at Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Marshalls, H&M, you name it and could not find one. Most stores didn't have them at all. The only place I ever found one was at Forever 21 but it looked very cheap and wasn't exactly what I was looking for. So, when J Crew Factory had 50% off their entire store a few weeks ago, I took it as a sign that I should just purchase the shirt I wanted all along. I love how it looks with a neutral outfit but I know there are so many more styling possibilities with it!






// J Crew Factory top / J Crew Factory skirt (similar) / Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac clutch / Target tights / Michael Kors pumps / New York and Company bracelets // 

I would love it if you would follow me on GFC or BlogLovin'!

      Hi Kathy,

      I used to use a sock but didn't think it help up the shape very well throughout the day. I purchased a bun ease at Ulta for $5 and really love it! They have them at most Beauty Stores and I've seen them at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, etc. Here's a link to what I use:

    Love peter pan collars as well - they're so cute and give off an adorably vintage vibe. I love that your collar is sparkly! That's such a great update to a classic trend.

    That peter pan collar is so cute! I always wanted a top with a collar like that but never found the perfect one. After seeing yours, I think I'm going to try searching again!

    You look fantastic here! This is a perfect example of wearing tights making this look a ton more professional versus if you didn't!
