Changing the look of a sweater or top by adding a peter pan collar is kind of “in” right now.
Here’s my attempt to change a simple dress…. by adding a collar I took from an existing garment.
This week’s Fashion Friday came together with the help
of a sweet neighbor. She’s a beautiful girl with a lot of patience
and I really appreciate her helping me out.
It all started with a striped dress from Target. The dress was paired with a
cute red vintage purse. It was then topped with a collar that was taken off a vintage
Laura Ashley dress.
Here’s the dress before:
