A Public Service Announcement:
Aug. 8th, 2005 12:27 amIf I ever attempt to purchase a turtleneck anything ever again, or a mock-turtle or high funnelneck anything, or (Athena forbid) I ever attempt to knit anything with a turtleneck, mockneck, or high funnelneck for myself: somebody please slap me lightly about the head and shoulders until I recover.
I finally removed the last turtleneck shirt from my closet. It's a light blue color that looks better than most light colors ever do on me, but the collar makes me look like I have four chins and no neck at all. And it's far too warm to wear it in Houston except for two weeks in February, and the sleeves have that weird "sporty" ribbing on the cuffs instead of hemming, so it's not really suitable for work, anyway. I have no idea why I bought it, lo these five years ago, but I haven't worn it in three years and haven't even considered wearing it in two. To Goodwill it goes.
