wiw: first turtleneck ever! - YouLookFab Forum

I hate turtlenecks because the always make me itch and make my boobs look giganormous. I usually buy one each winter only to donate it.

Well here I am in a gorgeous pink tissueweight turtleneck from jcrew, zara jacket, kut from the kloth diana skinnies in grey and burgundy boots. necklace from etsy, earrings from a local artisan. burberry scarf: last year consignment score($30-brand new!). Elliott Lucca handbag.

the tissueweight turtleneck feels like gossamer and does not make me feel claustrophobic at all. SCORE!!

first pic taken by my hair salon receptionist (terrible lighting), other pics at F21 at Mall of America. I went to buy a birthday present for an 8 yr old boy in another store but wandered into F21 just to take outfit pics!!!

Wow, you look fab! I especially like the scarf that is perfect with your colors. Welcome to the world of turtlenecks. Hope you find more.

If you can't live dangerously, what's the point? ;o)

I also avoid turtlenecks because they make my boobs like as big as my head, but you have very deftly mitigated the turtleneck boob job effect with that blazer and you look fantastic! I am loving your bag as well.

You look as gorgeous as ever, Sona!! LOVE you in that soft pink....and in that style of roomy turtleneck. Never say never

And on that note, you will have a lot to say in Wed's blog post.

Now that's a true YLFer - wandering into a store just to take pics!

Absolutely LOVELY Sona - you wear soft colours and strong jewel tones equally well. Amazing!

That is SO funny....I mean about going into the store just to take pics. You should have seen me in Holt Renfrew trying to find the "best" mirror, i.e. the one with the best lighting!

You look great in this turtleneck. What a fab colour for you (but then, what colour isn't fab on you?)

Jaime

So pretty! The pink is gorgeous on you and I love the mix of grey patterns on the rest of the outfit.

Gorgeous colours - great fit - this is another Super Sona outfit. I think the looser neck of the sweater is so flattering. I'm well endowed too, and a tight necked turtleneck is the kiss of death for me, but something like this, with a bit of room at the neck, draws attention right where you want it ( your face ).

You look great Sona! Time for more colors of the same turtleneck?

As usual you look stylish and lovely, Sona. Good on you for proving that you can do turtlenecks! And that Lucca bag--I've seen it in the catalog and in-store and it looked polished and smart, but there's this magical transformation when you're carrying it. It couldn't look more chic if it were a Birkin or any of those uber-bags.

And oh., you've got a really nice ensemble there in the pics ...kudos to you

Sona I share your concern re tnecks but this is beautiful. I love the slouchy neck on the sweater. These soft colors are lovely on you and the handbag is to die for!

Love your outfit Sona and your new turtleneck is divine. What a lovely colour and drape on you.

I'm always on the lookout for tissue weight turtlenecks, so I will take your recommendation in good stead!

The soft colors are really flattering on you. Boy, everyone is looking so good in pastels. Remind me not to try it since I won't look so pretty! Lol.

Btw, your hair is fab-U-lous! How do you get long hair to look so neat?

Elly

You do look like a million bucks Sona----
