Ode to the turtleneck and a contest!

CONGRATULATIONS to "Jocelyn" for entering my contest and winning the INC Turtleneck!! Enjoy!

---

It took everything in me just to get out of bed this morning. Being on maternity leave has me turning into a lazy slob. I dropped something on the floor today, looked at it for like 10 seconds and made the executive decision not to pick it up. Getting bendy is work!

Anywayz, I was thinking about the topic for this blog post and it hit me--turtlenecks! I had been on the hunt for the perfect turtleneck and recently found it at H&M. I named her Betsy. Turtlenecks are so great for a multitude of reasons: they keep your neck warm, they look great on almost anyone, and they are a great layering piece. The one I have from H&M is super stretchy, is a true black (no fading in the wash or in the sun), and is extremely flattering. It was a steal at $12.95 and I wish I had purchased one in a neutral color as well. I only wish the "neck" part of the turtleneck was a bit longer.

Here are a few of my stylings with this venerable wardrobe staple. I apologize in advance for the less-than-clear photos. My Dad took his camera back (best believe I violently shook my fist at him when he did) and I had to use my webcam to take these pics.
