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. 😉

In case you’re worried that I wore a plunging neckline to the office, I promise there’s a nude-colored cami underneath. No cleavage was harmed (or revealed) in the making of this outfit.

I’m smiling in these photos because they were taken before I saw “The Zookeeper’s Wife.” Don’t get me wrong, it was a great movie, but not exactly a light-hearted one. In case you’re thinking “Is this a sequel to ‘We Bought a Zoo?'” NO. IT IS NOT. A few minutes in, you see a bunch of animals get killed by Nazis. In case you’re thinking “Were the Nazis really that bad?” YES. READ A BOOK.

Oof. My media intake is a very strange mix of fashion blogs and tragic films. I have to find the balance between being constantly superficial and constantly angry/depressed. So far, so good. Now please admire my cute anorak, then go read about Syria.
