Turtlenecks for the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s: Under a Dress
Quote of the day: “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” Coco Chanel
Considering the turtleneck is a great piece that can keep us warm, then by all means let’s use it as a laying piece—We’ll put it with a dress this time. I started this series almost a year ago here with other options. Earlier this week was an opportunity to see these pieces with a poncho (here). As for this post, the layering works well with sleeveless dresses which allows more of the color to show instead of covering over the pieces almost entirely with a sweater.Notice my dress is long sleeved, but it’s awfully low cut by itself, so thus another problem solved. And we all donned our boots to keep from freezing our tuchas off!
50’s Turtleneck: Notice that I am purposely wearing the turtleneck backwards. There is this strange stain on the front that I need to work on removing.
