I keep thinking I’ve shot every wintery outfit I possibly can and then I stand in my closet for a bit, holding items next to one another and realize But Wait! There’s More! Ha. I have bought a couple new things recently as they’ve gone on deep discount at the end of winter…and this burgundy turtleneck is one of them.

I’ve been trying to add more turtlenecks to my wardrobe as I so love wearing them. I know their popularity has drifted in and out through the years, so they’re not always easy to find. But this past year they’ve been everywhere – roll necks, turtlenecks, mock necks, all the necks – and I’m trying to take advantage of their availability.

In the cold weather, there’s nothing better than having something up around your neck. If not a cozy scarf or a cat, then a warm turtleneck. I know many people who really don’t like them, not the way they feel or look. But I have always adored them! But it has to be a snug fit. None of these mamby-pamby loose, floppy collars. They have to have good “bounce-back” stretch, so all the pulling them on and off over your head doesn’t render the neck too stretched-out and limp.

This one is nice because the body has a boxy shape and swingy fit. I like loose things that float away from my tummy. And the rich color is a nice change from my usual greys and browns.

I’ve combined it here with my favorite mushroom cardigan and this scarf that ties the two colors together so perfectly. It was a mild enough afternoon that I was comfortable just with the turtleneck, cardi and light scarf. Spring is not too far off!

I’ve about had it with winter clothes (how about you?) and keep hoping that SOON I can start sharing some lighter, springier looks!

We shot in a town where there was a St. Patrick’s Pub Crawl going on. I’m not so crazy about this picture of me, but love all the “crawlers” in their St. Paddy’s finest…and the guy who wanted to be our friend….

Hello, Friend!

If you can also see my left earring was juuuust about to pop out of my ear. After we shot, we went into a shop, went for a little drive, jumped out for a sunset shot, then went to dinner. Read: Many opportunities to lose an earring. When I got home that night and got changed for bed, I realized my earring was gone! These are my favorite earrings! They match my lamp! I was so sad.

BUT….my girlfriend found it the next day in her car! Yay!
