Turtlenecks for the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s: Under a Blouse
Quote of the day: “Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.” Will Smith
For the final pairing in these 3 posts of the turtleneck, I went with outfits that include a blouse (my definition of a blouse has always been a shirt with a collar & buttons). We tried this styling last year (here) but with more of a shirt interpretation. I tried to vary our looks by having one blouse be buttoned, one blouse be open with accessories and the other blouse just left open (it almost looks like a jacket this way). Our same turtlenecks got mated with ponchos (here) and a dress (here).
50’s Turtleneck: My blouse is short sleeved, thus I layered a cardigan over it!

60’s Turtleneck: Check out these great bracelets from Mauzie’s–a wonderful jewelry and design shop here in Denver. They pull together the colors from the scarf perfectly.

70’s Turtleneck: Mom’s blouse almost looks like a jacket, but she told me she made it as a blouse, so I’ll take her word on it.
