The diagram is mind-boggling. I think it is meant for nuclear engineers or some such profession. Whoops. Anyway, I have a vague understanding that my necklaces/necklines should fall just slightly above my bust line. Hope that's correct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-479207 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 06:32:54 +0000 san 479207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire you look sensational in the neckline of your sheath. I wouldn't cover it up with a necklace. You have gorgeous collar bones and you should show them off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-479195 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 05:56:28 +0000 Marley 479195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just read Imogen's post - I'm sort of confused - maybe its just that I'm tired! I'm definitely going to have to give this some more "study-time" because I am constantly struggling with necklines and necklace lengths with my short neck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-479108 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:36:24 +0000 D'Ellen 479108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm reading with interest because I don't have a neck. Must do more research on SNP. </p> <p>Claire - you, your neck. and your holiday outfit are beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478774 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:19:41 +0000 Marley 478774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire you look great - and I have serious long-neck envy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478271 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:58:26 +0000 anne 478271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh yes - same thoughts as Suz here - this could be me as well - maybe.</p> <p>Claire you do look very fab. Thanks to you and to everyone who contributed to this very interesting thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478263 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:37:12 +0000 Lantana 478263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this post Claire. What I am finding so interesting is that there actually IS an answer to style problems, a solution I mean. I always thought that some body issues were inescapable, that no matter what one wore ones legs would always look short, or neck long, or hips wide. I'm now learning that there are responses to all these issues and it is fascinating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478116 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:31:39 +0000 Suz 478116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay- somehow I missed the original post!! where the heck can I find it, because I think I have this same issue, whatever it is!!! </p> <p>Claire, you look GORGEOUS!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478109 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:26:32 +0000 Sveta 478109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, I like your dress! You are going to be a star during these holidays.<br /> Interesting but I was thinking about the same thing after your original post. Even though I guessed correctly what SNP is I was not sure how to apply it to my body.<br /> So much to learn still...<br /> On the positive note we are going to see a new Angie's outfit tomorrow!!!!!! &lt; happy dance&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478053 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:31:55 +0000 nancylee 478053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such an informative post. Although I don't have the same elegant neck issue, it's always very interesting to learn different dressing strategies.</p> <p>Claire, you look absolutely lovely in all of these photos! So glad you're getting the information you need to look even more smashing. </p> <p>(and I echo Una...SO many women would love to have this "problem") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478022 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:02:46 +0000 Anonymous 478022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie, Helen, Parsley and Sarah. My "sheath" is actually just a black stretchy knit top with a fur-collared sweater on top! I'll be wearing my new skinnies on the bottom; things are VERY casual (read: slob) around here. </p> <p>Jonesy and Diana, so much to learn. Thanks for the link Diana....I'm off to visit Miss Imogen once again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478014 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:47:16 +0000 sarah 478014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clare, your holiday outfit looks so pretty! I can't wait to see the whole thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478005 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:36:16 +0000 Diana 478005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, I really liked Imogen's (Inside Out Style) article on balance points and necklines here:<br /> <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2009/07/how-to-find-your-balance-points-for-necklines-and-jewellery.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......llery.html</a></p> <p>I have a very short neck, and according to the balance point method, my "high neckline" point is like halfway down my upper chest. (The "low neckline" point on me is kind of impractical and not daytime appropriate, hee). It makes a lot of sense in explaining why I always feel like I look weird in things like crew neck tops and chokers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-478000 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:32:32 +0000 Jonesy 478000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That makes sense, Angie! I don't have the same body type, but I do have a very long neck and I find that I am used to seeing my hair draped around it. When I pull my hair back and wear something without a collar, I feel like I am "all neck." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477999 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:31:49 +0000 Parsley 477999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, you look *BEAUTIFUL* in your holiday outfit! </p> <p>The way I figure it, you just need to think: "What would Audrey Hepburn wear?" (You lucky thing, you!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477995 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:25:05 +0000 bran888 477995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm so if one has a shortish neck, then v-necks and scoopnecks are the way to go? I generally gravitate that way, but lately I've gotten into crewnecks...are those a no-no for a shortish neck? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477988 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:19:03 +0000 Angie 477988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also meant to say that your sheath looks fabulous, Claire! Sorry that I rudely forgot to say that. </p> <p>Jonesy, long voluminous hair that covers the SNP (with the particular body type in question - like mine and Claire's body type), could do the covering trick! I have the furthest thing from long voluminous hair, so I need to rely on structured SNP's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477980 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:07:19 +0000 HelenInCanada 477980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, your holiday outfit (from what I can see of it) looks fierce! I too envy your (and Angie's) long &amp; elegant neck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477962 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:50:18 +0000 Jonesy 477962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting and informative! First the concept of "grinning" and now the SNP :)! So much to learn....I wonder about hair: if your hair is draped around the SNP, does that give that spot coverage so you can have a bit more freedom with necklines? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477930 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:26:17 +0000 Anonymous 477930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much! I think I'm starting to get it. I'll wait for tomorrow's blog post on pins and needles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477915 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:14:56 +0000 Angie 477915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, that dress is not a scoop neck. It's a high neck, which gives your SNP structure. A high slash neck with exposed SNP's will do the same (wait for my outfit post tomorrow for visuals). Low scoop necks and V-necks that do not cover the SNP are what you should avoid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477910 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:11:05 +0000 Anonymous 477910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, Angie, so I want to keep the shoulder- neck point covered in my necklines. So the one I posted is not so great? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477901 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:05:10 +0000 Angie 477901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana is right! Tip of the neck where the neck meets the shoulder. There is only ONE point where the neck and shoulder meet, ladies :)</p> <p>I have an extremely long neck (I am part giraffe), dainty shoulder line, bony chest, and very short hair. I take my shoulder-neck-point fit *very* seriously. It must be structured at all times. No exceptions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477898 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:03:59 +0000 Anonymous 477898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, a long neck needs to be in Alaska where it can layer up. Wanna trade? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477882 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:53:34 +0000 Ana 477882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering that as well, but I'm guessing it's the point where your shoulder meets your neck. We'll see what Angie says. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477879 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:51:21 +0000 Mochi 477879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477872 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:47:17 +0000 catgirl 477872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered this myself. How I envy you your long neck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-is-the-shoulder-neck-point#post-477869 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:45:47 +0000 Anonymous 477869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you SO MUCH for offering your advice on necklines for me. I've been furiously reading everything I can find in the blog archives about long necks and bony chests! I don't know why I didn't figure it out sooner. Duh!</p> <p>No wonder I always fight with necklines and prefer a bulky scarf! I was looking in the mirror just this morning and thinking, "My neck is SO long. I need to grow my hair to my shoulders or something. Something is really *off* here."</p> <p>I just need a little clarification on what to cover. All collar bones? This is a complete paradigm shift for me. Thank you for speaking up before I filled my closet with the wrong necklines!!! Also, is sleeveless bad for me?</p> <p>Edited to add pics: What about this neckline? Does the necklace help if it's not quite right? This is my "holiday" outfit I had planned. </p>
