I must be absolutely out of my mind for putting on a turtleneck in this weather, but I couldn’t help but try out the upcoming Autumn season. I rarely wear turtlenecks because my neck is already short and I’m always trying to find ways to make my neck look longer without subjecting others to the awful deep v-neck tops out there. Turtleneck tops are mainly worn if you have a swan-like long neck, or for functional reasons and do not care that it will make you look like you’ve got no neck.

I think I’ll start wearing turtlenecks more often this upcoming Autumn seasons because there is something very mysterious and strangely alluring about covering up all the way up to your face. It’s kind of following the Mary-Kate Olsen philosophy… there is something strangely attractive about piling up on layers and covering yourself up. Make your presence known by hiding yourself.

And there is also something endearing about oversized long sleeves. It helps me hide a cell phone in my hand without appearing rude and “always in need of checking messages” LOL. I admit, I am kind of addicted to getting updates on Twitter. You never know when there will be free ticket giveaways or when OldSpice or The Sulk tweets something hilarious to brighten up your day!
