The Virtue of Stash
I wear turtlenecks. A lot. Some sartorial decisions are set in one's teens, I guess. I've been told I should not wear turtlenecks (thanks, Cynthia Guffey!) because I don't have a swan-like neck, but I ignore advice and continue to wear them. Usually I buy RTW, but lately I am reluctant to spent over $50 on a basic black turtleneck shirt. So I went stash diving and made myself not only a black, but a red turtleneck and have plans for a couple in white. No pictures, of course, how boring is a basic turtleneck shirt? But really all this is for a reason. I am ducking hemming my son's white jacket. Well, my old cat is sequestered in the sewing room and she wants up in my lap so of course her needs come first....

Your post made me laugh. There's nothing like having a warm neck, swan like or otherwise. And procrastination is kind of enjoyable, too.
Good for you! I think it's wonderful to have favorites in many colors. Reduces anxiety :-)
Enjoyed your post. Know what's *less* flattering than wearing a turtleneck? The expression on my face when I am cold, just cold through and through. I pretty much live in turtlenecks from October to May. (And then, of course, layers over the t-neck.) That's life in western NY, where the "feels like" temp will go down to minus 30 tonite. If you have a minute, would you please let me know what pattern you used and any tips? Thanks!
