I’m just going to go on the record and say that I absolutely
love collared shirts. From the traditional collar to a Peter Pan collar, both
styles always make me feel so professional for some reason; perhaps it’s
because of the stereotype of businessmen and women wearing them to their office
buildings? Although I do not have a job in an office environment (or a job at
all) I love how any outfit can seem more pulled together with a collar. And I’m
not talking about wearing a stuffy pencil skirt and blazer everyday (although I
do love blazers as well), I’m talking about how you can seem effortlessly chic
and romantic by adding a collar no matter if you’re working in an office or
lazing around at home.

These are two dresses I’ve bought in the past that both have
the Peter Pan collars built in. Depending on the occasion, I can wear both
dresses casual with just a pair of black leggings and cardigan. Or if the
situation calls for a bit more put together look, such as a family get
together, I can dress it up a little by not wearing any tights and curling my
hair. Either way, these two dresses are staples in my wardrobe and I’m always
on the hunt for more of them!

As well, I often wear conventional collared shirts (not always so wrinkly though). This
blue H&M one is one of at least a dozen that I regularly wear. To spice up
the collar, I wear a fairly big necklace underneath the collar to make it stand
out even more. Pair it with a bracelet or a watch and some flats that stand out
and you’ve got yourself a rather easy and lovely outfit.

Finally, sometimes you just have to get creative and add a
collar. Either over a thin sweater or a dress, both these accessories would be
amazing. Actually, it really depends on the outfit. I suggest trying as many
different combinations to see what looks best.
A helpful tip: If I ever am unsure about what I am going to
wear, I go to the website We Heart It and search other’s pictures. For example,
if I knew I wanted to wear tights, I’d search ‘tights’ and just look at other
peoples pictures that have tights in them. There is such a vast archive of
beautiful photographs that I usually get inspired fairly quickly. Hope that
helps! Laters!
