I just saw this thread and decided to post since
my Master seems to have a slightly different
take on how I wear my collar.

I have a collar that is for everyday use that is very important to me.
I feel naked unless I'm wearing it and I seem to miss Him more
when I don't have it on, like it connects us somehow

The difference is that I have a list of tasks to perform for Him everday
before He gets home from work (I have no outside job).
Until those tasks are complete for the day,
He does not allow me to wear my collar. He feels that
I need to do something each day to 'earn' my collar.
I guess it's a good motivational tool

At first I balked at the idea, I love my collar soo much,
but the alternative is that the first time my tasks
are not done punctually, and/or to the best of my ability
I don't get to wear my collar until I'm punished
(which He saves for the end of the day) so I
agreed (as if I had a choice lol)
as outside influences sometimes interfere.

I do have a collar that I wear when we go out
regardless of whether my tasks have been completed or not.
When we had our collaring ceremony
the outerwear one is what was placed on me,
so it's not as if He's taking our official symbol away.

I guess most people (assumption only) will think that this is an odd
way to go about wearing any symbol of ownership, but I like it now as it
gives me a chance, every single day, to prove to Him how much I
want to serve Him and how hard I will work to please Him.

Just wanted to add my perspective and experience to the conversation
