Perhaps that is MY issue with being a first grader.....!!! Bwahahahaha! But honestly, I love the v-neck and turtleneck on you! Particularly with your hair pulled back!

Gracie, I'm so flattered that I wrote something actually useful! And it's good to hear that someone else has the same type of worries with red. I do really like the color, though, so maybe I just need to be pickier with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1138246 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 04:06:22 +0000 Gracie 1138246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've also been trying to dress more intentionally since I read your post on it, and trying to narrow down the best cardigan colors for each outfit. </p> <p>I like turtlenecks under wide necklines ( boat, ballerina) as it creates - to my eye - a fresher line. I like to add a layer underneath, like Suz, and add a jacket or cardigan and a scarf. I also hesitate I with red, I do feel it is too "look at me" and have only one red item, a V neck sweater, I purged everything else. Your red and black dress is fab! The polka dot cute and sassy, but my fave is the zig-zag one, the style and colors look great on you, and I love it with those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1138217 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 03:48:44 +0000 Jaime 1138217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all!

Lots of polka dot love here….</p> <p>I think you guys are definitely right that it may be easier to make a scarf look stylish (with a turtleneck under it or not) than to do the same with a visible turtleneck. And, Suz, I've found it hard enough to deal with the relatively lightweight&nbsp;version of polar vortex weather we've had down here -- I don't even want to imagine what it felt like in Canada! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1137989 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 22:57:12 +0000 Suz 1137989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new dress! So fun, and I think for versatility's sake you made the right choice with the pattern.&nbsp;</p> <p>With turtlenecks, I sometimes add a scarf if I have layered something over them. It sort of disguises the turtleneck. But I still have it there, providing warmth, and I have the sleeves as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>My other trick is simply to wear with a jacket as my visible layer, and then I layer a tissue weight tee underneath for added warmth. Sometimes we can layer invisibly. And let me tell you, with our recent weather, I have been layering every which way!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1137926 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:41:44 +0000 E 1137926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you look so good in all of these, but the polka dots are my favourite! I love dots &amp; those are so flattering on you.</p> <p>No advice on turtlenecks; I have a very very short neck so never wear them. If it's that cold I just wear a scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1136979 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 21:03:54 +0000 kkards 1136979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is my fav. I love the simplicity, yet elegence of this outfit. And I agree with parkmommychic, red is a great color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1136956 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 20:33:09 +0000 Anonymous 1136956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Parkmommychic, thanks! I really like bright red, but weirdly don't wear it often. I think it can sometimes feel&nbsp;too&nbsp;sporty/preppy or too look-at-me bombshell on me if it's not the right item.</p> <p>Aquamarine, I really appreciate that! I'm sometimes afraid that my endless permutations of&nbsp;dress/cardigan/boots are starting to run together.&nbsp;And it's definitely so easy to overdose on black, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1136952 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 20:15:13 +0000 Aquamarine 1136952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with turtlenecks too but sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do (when it's cold out)....I think it totally works in pic 1. Really like 3 and 4 also. I hear you on too much black...getting there myself too. I never think your outfits are boring, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1136950 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 20:11:14 +0000 Anonymous 1136950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cute! Especially like #1 - red color very flattering on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-turtleneck-zigzags-and-on-sweater-dress-semi-copycat#post-1136947 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 20:06:25 +0000 Anonymous 1136947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some outfits from this week. Not sure if any of these are hugely exciting, but hopefully they're not too boring to post.</p> <p>#1: This was when the weather was still all arctic, hence the long-sleeved dress, jacket, <i>and</i> turtleneck. I don't think turtlenecks do me many favors, but they're so convenient when it's freezing. After a really awkward attempt to layer a turtleneck a few weeks ago (shown in&nbsp;#2), I decided to at least choose an outfit to make it look purposeful. Which meant a dress with a black background so it blends in more, a jacket for more structure, and something besides a v-neck, which I usually love but which I realized&nbsp;looks incredibly dorky on me when layered with a turtleneck. Does anyone else have ideas for how to layer turtlenecks under things without looking like a first-grader in a school portrait? Or is it only me who has that issue?</p> <p>#3: I think I've worn black somewhere in my outfit&nbsp;for about 8 zillion days in a row, so I figured it was time for something else. I've worn this brown dress with a bunch of different cardigans (like with a gold one&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1112-1115-and-kpo-keep-or-phase-out-on-questionable-dress-and-boots">here</a>), but the oatmeal may be my favorite so far because it lets the pattern take center stage, which goes along with my general effort to stop wearing random colored cardigans just because they "go."</p> <p>#4-5: I was really tempted by the ON snakeskin sweater dress, as seen on Diana and Alaskagirl, and had a feeling the shape might work for me, but also had a feeling that, on me,&nbsp;that much snake print on something that fitted would be a little more va-va-voom than I want. And it turns out that they also have a very similar shape in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=9223260224004&amp;cid=1002347&amp;locale=en_US">this black/cognac polka dot</a>. Bonus: I can wear brown boots with it! And I couldn't resist bringing out these matchy-matchy cognac dot earrings too. </p>
