Sunny with a high chance of allergies

I woke up this morning only to realize that I have a horrible sinus headache and I can barely breathe from the allergies. And to make it all worst it's a wonderful sunny day, I wish I could step in outside and go for a jog but just to bend to wash my face my whole head hurts. So I think I'll stay in bed for as long as I can and rest. Okay I will admit it, yesterday I went to the thrift store and bought a shirt and red mocs ($1.50 each) I bought it because I loved the collar and I'm planning to do a small refashion with it.
Detail of the collar...

I love, love, love the collar yes I do. I will take it off and then put in to a nicer fabric tee or I can just wear it as a necklace which is what I did with this one...
I sewed the back lining by hand because the threads from the beads were visible.



I thought about inserting this collar to another shirt but it's so exquisite I was afraid it would be very hard to clean the garment so I just added the ribbon on the ends and now I can tie it and wear it with different outfits. I took it off from a dress I thrifted a couple of months ago seen here.

The dress didn't fit me and I didn't care about the dress all I saw was the collar it's just amazing and every sequin was handsawn, it's also kind of heavy. I still don't know what I will do with the white shirt collar above, I might decide to make it into a necklace.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! Blessings!

I never thought about cutting part of the dress off for a necklace. I like your vision!
