Turtlenecks!

That's one thing that I hate so much about capital-F Fashion: the sheer impractibility of it all. What use do I have for a sheer, floaty, sleeveless baby doll top that's cut to the navel? I wish that I did have a use for such an object, alas I do not.

But! Do my eyes deceive me? Are those ... TURTLENECKS I see on the runway? Turtlenecks in combination with other fashionable beautiful clothes?

Okay, lose the pants on the first one. It's dowdy, but I'm a little dowdy too. How about the second one? 40's chic? Love it!

"Demure, funereal," the fashionistas sigh and shake their styled heads. I'll gladly take it if it involves turtlenecks.
