I Just Can't With The Turtlenecks

I don't know when the point in time arrived when I couldn't stand to have a turtleneck on my person.  I was fairly neutral when it came to how they looked on me, but one day it felt very wrong to have fabric around my neck that wasn't a scarf, that wasn't something I couldn't immediately yank away if necessary.  I suddenly felt very claustrophobic having something around my neck like that.  Turtlenecks have known that I am not the one ever since and we have kept our distance from one another.

I mean, even when I got this Celine sweater I was not about to do the look from the runway with a white turtleneck underneath.  For one thing, I think it's pretty uninteresting to just blindly copy from the runway. And another: it's a turtleneck, and by now you know how I feel about those things.

These bitches! I can feel their judgements regarding my non-turtleneckness.  But it's cool.  They look really cute and not at all uncomfortably claustrophobic.  That's really the key, I think.  Comfort for me involves nothing around my neck, unless it's, you know, a necklace.
