Collar Love :)

I am completely captivated with collars this year. In pretty much every way, shape and form, if it has a collar the item automatically gains 50 points.
I first saw the rise of collars throughout Japan and South Korea. I really hadn't seen anyone in the United States wear them as much as I saw in my Japanese Fashion magazines. They really did show me some new ways to wear a collar and how to make some cute combinations.

During winter I bought this polka dot shirt, not for the shirt but actually just for the collar. I felt it would look great underneath a sweater, and I was right! That was most likely my favorite look that I wore all season long.

Now, since it is way too bloody hot to  wear sweaters all the time. I've just been wearing the collared shit by itself. I also bought this stunning white, studded, and bedazzled collar from Forever21. Isn't it cute?

 I love this just for the fact that I can wear it with a pair of shorts and it is still stylish. At the same time if it is cold in the office and espcially during next winter I can through one of my sweaters on top and it automatically becomes more professional looking. That is another big plus for collars. Is it just me or does it add a dote of professionalism to an outfit?

Also this is another shirt that I own that has a collar on it. This one is more large and has lace on it. Coupled with a Hollister sweater makes it even more lovely in my opinion :) .

These are some collars, and shirts with collars that I've found while browsing online and I thought I would share them all with you. :)  Also I've made the names into links in case any of you fall in love with them and want to find/buy them!

Adorable White Jacquard-Collar Lace-Panel Chiffon Blouse  
This is just really cute. It has lace for the top of your shoulders. It's also in that over sized sweater type of style which will be amazing for summer time. Looks loose and comfy which is a definite must!

                                   

Lace Collar Top 
Now this is from Top Shop and it is so nice. This would look great with some pink, or any other colored jeans and some pumps for a night out. Or even with a nice skirt. I want this so badly. It would match my ruby red skirt so perfectly. This would also be really great for work, especially if you work in an office since it is very professional looking.

Regal Embellished Shirt 
 Next is also from Top Shop! I keep visualizing this along with my slacks for work.  I love the little dangling beads as well, it makes the shirt stand out and really matches the shirt. Also this color is beautiful. It's one of those shirts that look good on various skin tones so it would reflect and balance an outfit well.
It's just gorgeous and it needs to be in my closet asap.

Loose Shirt w/Bowtie 
Now time for the chiffon haul.  This one it really nice and it actually comes in white as well as this light brown color.

A-Line Blouse w/Contrast Color Tie
 This is another one that comes in many different colors. This one is mt favorite though because for one thing I think it will look best on me compared to the others and it is the one that my eyes were drawn to first. I love the fact that not only does it have a collar but it has a cute ribbon to make into a bow. I absolutely adore shirts like that. I feel the same way about them that I do about outfits that come with a belt. Its like a two for one deal. There are loads of things that can be with the ribbon on its one. You could use it in your hair in multiple ways as well as a belt! I love when I purchase an item and it comes with something else. Haha

Metal Rivet Studded Spike Collar Blouse
 Now this one is just a plain white chiffon shirt, however, the collar is studded!  Stubs are really in this year. They've been put on pretty much everyhting from shorts to shoes so I'm not supposed that they are now located on collars. Personally I really like it since it gives a slight edge to a rather plain shirt. I do know that some people really dislike the studs in general but I tend to enjoy them.

Leopard Print Collar Shirt 

Ughhh, this shirt is so perfect I was slightly speechless when I saw it on Forever21.com. Leopard print is awesome, stylish, and it just looks great with solids. The collar is so cute I think I'd buy the collar if they sold that separately. Same basic style as the shirts shown above. The nice, summery chiffon material paired with a hot collar. I would wear this with a camisole or a tank though, most likely black or red in color.

Petit et Belle * Peter Pan Collar Necklace

This one is more cute and less edgy but still something I believe to be worth having in a closet.  I love that is is gold because for me, its either gold, silver, or even colored jewelry that I wear so this would be a lovely addition.

Spiked Faux Leather Collar
 This is one of the removeable and mobile collars. These look like a stub/rhinestone mix just from the photo but they are detailed in as spikes. This looks pretty sturdy and can be paired with a lot of shirts to give it that "pop" factor.

Hope I didn't kill you all with a photo overload. If you think this is bad just wait until I arrive in Paris!~ Now that will be a photo overload for sure. I hope you all enjoyed this post!!
How do all of you feel about the crazy up rise of collars in daily fashion trends?
