A tutorial for you, Gifts To Make #6 The Five Second Anthropologie Sweater. Years ago fur and crochet collars were all the rage.
Gifts To Make #6 The Five Second Anthropologie Sweater
You may have noticed that they have made a comeback in a big way.
Two summers ago my Grandma Jingles sent me a package of some of her long ago favorites. They included this pretty blue collar and broach that have since sat in my closet.
I decided to pair them and now wear them.
My kids call me the cardigan Queen. What can I say, I like layers.
While I adore Anthropologie sweaters, I have a bit of trouble wanting to pay Anthropologie prices.
I found the other vintage collars at various estate sales and thrift shops. Some received a dye bath and new buttons. All received tulle and silk ribbon.
Vintage and antique millinery nestle into the softness.
The Fashionista also likes them on collarless coats.
The collars look pretty cute on crew neck tees too.
UPDATE: SOLD OUT!
You can find these collars in my Etsy shop.
Be merry and bright!

Beautiful Laura. I agree with you about the rush for Christmas decorating. We just returned from 3 weeks away so my tree and decorations just went up. They will be up till sometime in Jan for sure and one year they were up till Valentines day so I did the tree again in red and pink hearts. It was so much fun.
Enjoy your Christmas.
