I dont let a lot of age-related physical changes get me down.
Im pretty OK with theextra weightaround my middle.
I have learned to dress accordingly.
And thattummy bulgecame with the unexpected bonus of bigger boobs.
But myneckis a different story.
It was once long and swanlike.
Now its kind of loose.
Apparently, the skin on your neck is thinner and less resilient than the skin on your face.
If only I knew then what I know now!
Thats the number one reason why I have come to loveturtlenecks.Thank goodnessits turtleneck season once again!
Look for a version that fits close to the neck (no droopy cowls!)
and that is somewhat fitted through the body, as opposed to oversized.
you might dress it up or dress it down.
Thats why I always pack one when I travel at this time of year.
I have created four outfits based on the same black cashmere turtleneck to demonstrate the versatility of thiswardrobeessential.
Top it off with aclassickhaki trench coat and a houndstooth structured bag for added texture.
Add a glamorous but comfortable flat shoe with a sparkly strap, and a stack of stretchy crystal bangles.
An inexpensive faux-fur vest contributes to the luxe vibe.
Theleopardtote upgrades the whole look.
blackjeans, comfortable waterproofboots, and a cute, colorful beanie.
Last word
If you live where the weather is warm year-round (lucky you!
And lets look on the bright side!
There are many worse things than a saggy neck.
