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
