Sobetto with a collar

I was too fussed about my original sobetto. I should have really thought about my fabric  choice, but Rachel from house of pinheiro suggested either I add a collar to the sobetto, or maybe use it as a pyjama top?

Not giving away to much information, but to be honest I don't really wear pyjamas ;) so I opted to add the collar instead.

Truthfully I'm still not convinced with the fabric choice for this sobetto top but with the collar added to it I think I might just wear it! (Thanks Rachel for the suggestion). It's odd to think that I can be full of suggestions and ideas for other people but come my own stuff I just haven't a clue. Left to me this sobetto would have just been dumped in the corner, but with collar I think it will be fine to wear to work.

One thing I really like about adding the collar is that it high lights the scoop at the back more. Which is nice because I actually like exposing that part of my back. It always looks quite toned and tanned even if I do say so myself ;)

The down side of the collar on the sobetto is that it can't really be worn with a cardigan. I've tried but it just doesn't look right. It's the scoop! It's sits much lower than the neck-line of the cardi so the collar can't be worn over the top of it and for that reason I'm just not liking the combination.

So I guess I'll just have to wait for warmer weather. (that could be a while...........)
