I have avoided turtlenecks for a few years. I am small chested and as an apple, I carry my extra 5-10 pounds (especially after the holidays!) around my waistline. Therefore I don't like a column of flat, blah knit, and I prefer the look of layering or interest around the neckline. And I always wear patterns in at least one piece of the outfit, and pattern mix when I can.

However I found this Nordstrom turtleneck that I thought would be great: it has a pattern, and it is a little boxy. And it's mostly grey, my most favoritest color! Please help! On me, the look is very corporate. Is there hope for this pretty little piece on an apple? Or is there another look I should be seeking out?

Much appreciation!
