so, i am nearly done with j.m barrie's magical peter pan, and while i love it,
i am disappointed to report that there has been absolutely no mention of the peter pan collar!
in the book, peter is clothed in nothing but leaves- so where did this trend originate?
and how on earth did it get its name?
according to this article & wikipedia, the peter pan collar got its start in 1905
with the play version of the book, starring actress maude adams, and became wildly
famous in the US. it has since been revived in the 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond,
as a surefire way to add a bit of playful innocence to any look.

i also love this diy necklace on honestly wtf.
would you/ have you worn this trend?
I wore it a lot growing up so I think thats why I shy away from it! But I love this post and that you dug into the origins of the name! I think some girls make it look really cute but I have a really young looking face and often get mistaken for a 16 year old so I try to stay away from anything that might add to that, lol.
