Simple. That's the goal of this turtleneck journey. The idea of just throwing on a top, skirt and stockings appeals to me. Winter in New England means LOTS of clothes, so I am trying to delay this process for as long as possible by keeping it simple.
It started with the sketches of three turtlenecks. First turtleneck outfit is here; not a failure but I wasn't wild about it either. Adding some femininity to the second attempt may be the ticket.
So I ramped up the girly stuff by using a fuller, printed skirt and added the sexier heeled boots. (I tried it first with flat boots--ew boy, total frump!) I stayed away from a necklace--it was too expected. Sometimes you just need white space. (art term)

Oh, and some details on the turtlenecks. One is merino wool, the other is silk and cashmere. Can you tell which one is which?
Paula, what a lovely look! This outfit looks great! I can't wear turtlenecks, they make me claustrophobic....but I used to live in MA and I know they certainly come in handy. I'm completely feeling this! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteI love the boots with this look! I'm realizing as I read your turtleneck series that I have exactly 3--one in grey cotton, and two of a sweater type. In peering closely at my screen, I would guess that this brown one is the merino wool.
ReplyDeleteI love the sketches of your outfits. I do, too, but not as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteI love skirts , any skirt...he, he, he. And adore boots, any boots... so imagen how magnificent i think you look.
Un abrazo.

Any chance of removing the WORD VERIFICATION????.Most of the bloggers have got rid of it for the nightmare when commeting.
I think the brown is wool because you immediately put a shawl over the purple one -- suggesting that it was clingier.
ReplyDeleteDoes this lead to the style hypothesis that big chested girls can wear turtlenecks but the fabric needs to be heavier?
I love the skirt/turtleneck combo and the brown is so beautiful!

Serene~Handy, warm and simple.
ReplyDeleteTerri~yup, three and you are CORRECT! This is the merino one--I never thought anyone would be able to tell~you are a sharpie!
Sacramento~ Thanks on both counts--I will try and remove that!
Rose~You got it right too--to my surprise and yes, the hypothesis is thicker and ribbed is better for the larger busted.
Thanks Lisa Marie--will check your blog out!
How many times do I have to say that I adore your sketches? Well I do!
ReplyDeletethose textured tights are great and look so snuggly! And your BR skirt? very cute. I love how you turned what might be a little summery into a very autumnal look!
