collars up


pve design illustration - for JMcLaughlin Fall Advertisement
"Collars up" ~ This fine gal is sporting a fun casual fall look - a shirt with the collars "popped' - a boyfriend vest in merino wool and a generous "Aken" tote constructed of wool felt billiard cloth. Grosgrain ribbon touches give a fun preppy accent to a gingham shirt. My illustration was in Quest Magazine for J.McLaughlin.
Do you wear your collars popped or not?

    I pop my blazer collar more than I do a blouse.
    I love this illustration; all the colors go so well together. Very sophisticated in a casual sort of way. Well done again, Patricia!

    Wonderful look! The billiard fabric is intriguing in the purse. Great job again!

    I always love your illustrations and today love the one for J. McLaughlin.

    I love the look of the popped collars on others but always feel a bit over the top when I do it myself. I must work on popped collars and pashminas this season!

    My daughter's entire class popped their collars last week in honor of their teacher's birthday. I never actually have a collar to pop--can't bear collars!!

    Oops--not true! I'm always popping the collar on my trench coat and jacket . . .

    Another fabulous illustration! I pop my collars on polo shirts and some jackets. This was so "in" back in the 80s when I was in high school and college.

    Love your illustrations!

    I like the idea of popping up my collar, but end up feeling silly, so down they go!

    Absolutely to your pop the collar question...my husband does too. He was gifted a t-shirt once that read "My other shirt has its collar popped."

    Beautiful illustration!
