Remember when popped collars were all the rage circa 2005ish? I was a fan of the trend because I was in college at the time, and it allowed me to identify a guy’s douchebag status from afar rather than having to discover it only after talking to him.

I think women can pull off the popped collar without looking douchey (think Carolina Herrera), but clearly this is not a collar that should ever be popped – it’s too pretty. This shirt was one of the many things I purchased in NYC, and I tried on another blue striped shirt at J.Crew that I loved, but the teeny tiny amount of self control I have told me to only buy one striped shirt per store, per day. Buuuut that’s not to say I won’t go back for it. 😉
