Collar up!

I was sent these lovely collars from Beaumont Organic. The brand which is environmentally friendly and ethically minded is the brainchild of Hannah Beaumont and in 2008, she won the natural and organic awards. Not only this, she set up the Beaumont Organic Foundation where a small percentage of profit to a school in Fiji. Pretty cool stuff.

The collars are really fun to play around with and change up outfits in an instant. My youngest sister immediately put the bib collar on her head like a flowerpot baby, so I guess they have many uses haha!

I love Peter Pan collars so I was immediately drawn to the simple little collar. I turned it inside out and wore it the other way in this all grey outfit, I didn't realise until after I looked at the photo, that it matches my skirt perfectly! Please excuse the granny ankles though...

I adore the second collar too and it injects a little bit of fun. I was inspired by the pretty layered petal shapes and ended up wearing a layered outfit too.

I'm definitely looking forward to incorporating the collars into more outfits, so thank you to Beaumont Organic for sending these my way!

This illustration that was sent to me also features a peter pan collar and it's pretty awesome! Sandra over at Dolls and Guys is the talented lady behind it and was inspired by this post.

I love it and totally made my day when I saw it among my emails. Thanks so much Sandra!!
