Style Foul: Office Supply Accessories

Last week, we had a good chat here about collar stays. Some folks were for the metal magnet kind, some were pro-plastic, but I think we all agreed that a crisp collar is a good thing.
Maybe that’s why, when I met a friend of a friend recently, my eyes kept drifting to his blue dress shirt’s neckline as we chatted. The shirt itself was pressed and clean, but at his collar point I could see the outline of…well, what was it anyway?
Finally, my curiosity got the best of me, and with the cover of “inquisitive fashion blogger”protecting me, I asked.
“Sorry, what’s that in your collar?”
“Oh,” he looked down towards his shirt, then back at me and blushed a little. “It’s a paper clip. The collar was getting a little rumpled so…”
A paper clip. A PAPER CLIP.
