Up To My Neck

I love to wear a turtleneck, A boat neck or a cowl But offer me a V-neck And I guarantee a scowl. A scoop’s a possibility And I will sport a crew Yet I cannot explain just why A V-neck will not do. A sweetheart neckline flatters And a halter is ideal. A square or off-the-shoulder, If the mood hits, has appeal. Whenever I go shopping, I know what feels right for me, And that is why I’ll rarely wear A neckline with a V.

I do not like turtle necks at all! The woollen ones make my neck itch! I much prefer a gray or light blue sweater I can button. / M

Very clever title and I can't agree with you more that we should wear what we feel comfortable with and what flatters us most:-) hugs Jan xx
