What is it, exactly, about a strong collar? Is it the sense of authority, a nod to clergymen and First Ladies? Or perhaps nostalgia for throwback 1950s styles? Whatever it is, I’m a huge fan, and could not believe my luck when I scored this top secondhand. I wore it with jeans the first couple times, but it’s also, I discovered, the perfect companion to this old stripe skirt. (As well as these earrings; I can’t believe how well they match!) There’s something about ladylike black and white that I just don’t think I’ll ever tire of.
