make the collar wider. that'll make it possible to wear it off at least one shoulder, if not both (the only problem with this is that it looks like its too fitted to really stay down at the shoulders). you could also try cutting off the entire collar but it might become too low depending on how it fits you.

i think i know what you mean. and i might try taking off the entire collar and hemming down whats left

Cut around the collar and make the opening larger. Cut oval shapes so the front doesn't hang down too low.

Start small, because you can always go and cut a bigger hole, you can't easily fix it if it's too large and falls off of you

I would just cut along the collar with the same curve as the current neckline. then hem in down with your sewing machine. Should be a pretty easy project and fast. I hope it turns out well!
