I've ran out of sailor themed titles

I really have! Here's the collar I got at Portobello market from a military stall. It was only a fiver and they had quite a few, but it's weird that it was actually worn by someone for real! I'm sure D. Mills would be happy his uniform is now going towards some girl's outfits. I've only tried it with a few dresses I had at hand and I think it might work with almost everything I own!

I like it with the red dress best that I sometimes wear to clubs so I might sew it on there for good. Right now I'm worrying a bit because somehow our V festival applications went awry after we confirmed our places and we're not on the list to work! I knew it was too good to be true and now have to wait until tomorrow to see if anyone drops out. I can't plan or think about it now encase it doesn't happen, I almost feel like I'm waiting for A-Level results again... almost. I have quite a few friends expecting theirs so good luck to everyone expecting them in a few days! See I did even write some timed posts for when I was at V, one being tips for new freshers, but that might be shot! I'll put it up on Friday still.

Amazing buy - never thought the collar could be sold separately! Kind of cool that the name is there, and I think it looks really good in the outfits you've posted.

wow! what a great find, and you're right, it looks stunning with the red dress! I also love it with the plaid; it's an odd combo, but surprisingly wearable!

[Isabel]

That is such a cute collar! Do you have to pin it to the dress so it doesn't fall off?

[WendyB]

It looks good with everything. Very versatile.

[Is']

That's so versatile and very particular too, I love it!

[The Clothes Horse]

Oooh, awesome! I never thought about finding a sailor collar and just attaching it to things like this! Fantastic!

[Leesh]

ooooo wonderful with the red for sure- but maybe don't sew it on because it does look fabulous with all of the other dresses. what a great find!!

[alicepleasance]

I like it with the red dress as well, it's really a great find :-)

[Donna Vitan]

That's a beautiful accessory! And you can put it anywhere! Mayhaps we can make an arrangement for you to get me one. Tee hee! Cheers,

[Penny]

What a handy item! It would be really nice if you fastened it together with a cool brooch or something.
I really love it with the red dress, but then I am a sucker for that colour combination!

[hailey]

It is so cool, don't sew it!! Looks so good with the others too.

I love it with all three dresses. I really want one of those collars. I tried to do the same thing with a vintage scarf, but it didn't look as crisp and it came to a triangle rather than a rectangle in the back. You should buy a whole bunch and sell them on ebay.

Best with the red dress indeed, that dress is so cute too.

[hannah-Zoe]

i love that collar its so cute i like the fact that it was worn by a real sailor that makes it all authentic 'n' stuff (:

Nice! The first one's my favourite.

[Frida]

I love collars, I keep buying them. I found a white sailor one and made it into a t-shirt, and it's one of my favorite things to wear.

[tinkerbell and fairies]

I love the collar! Its so flexible! Goes well with so many outfits!

[sam]

that collar is so cool and an amazing find! I like it with the red dress best too. :)

[Sal]

What fun! I agree, tho, why confine its use to a single dress? It looks great with them all ...

[Wendy]

That is so clever! Now you can virtually make any dress nautical.

[Arielle]

I really like the first outfit

[Ella]

I like it! I think it looks better with the white dress

[Soultanggg]

i LOVE it with the plaid dress!!!!

[ambika]

Such an awesome accessory. & surprisingly versatile.

[susie_bubble]

Oooh...now i want to pick one up too...very handy thing to have!

[flashykawaii]

[selina]

@ flashykawaii- it was from Primark! Oasis and ASOS have similar dresses

[Mollie]

The sailor collar is such a smart idea, and so adorable. I agree it looks best with the red dress, adorable. I love your fashion sense.

[joysse]

i loveee the collar with the red dress!!
i cant help but think that it would be even cuter if you had a bow attached to the ends of the collar :)
im going to london for uni (first time!!) in sept, recommend any good stores?

[selina]

@ joysse- i really am no london expert, i only got as far as portobello and oxford street!

[stacyinsaddleshoes]

I love the sailor collar on thoses dresses. You should get some little white socks and cute shoes to wear with them I think they would look adorable on you with those sailor collar dresses.

[stacyinsaddleshoes]

Those dresses would look great with some little white socks and black shoes on you.

[stacyinsaddleshoes]

very cute

[Grisélidis]

I want one like this too!! and wear it with a white tee-shirt.. but I don't know how to find it in France...
