An extinction beyond my comprehension, the turtle neck. In the 90's, the turtle neck was a fashion statement, bringing back the look of the 1960's and 70's. Even the mothers of the 90's caught on and wore them ALL the time. This fine piece of clothing, keeps you warm from the cold and protects your neck from the wind. Why not bring it back?

Hip and Trendy

Before the turtle neck was a rare species, it was the shirt to wear. Including the celebrities and the trendy. I think the turtle neck gives a nice sophisticated look and should be brought back in this way… and in this way only.

They Look Great Under Sweaters

This is absolutely my favorite point about turtle necks. This is what happened for many years. The turtle was subjected to a nice Christmas sweater in the winter. Many times this would occur all winter, but I bet they sure were warm! Let’s not bring this back, ok?

They Are Warm

I think this one has to be the warmest turtle neck out there. I mean the sleeveless look really does helps in the winter. The scooped neck allows you to breathe better. Sometimes the turtle can creep up your throat and feel like a strangle.

They will really appreciate it. You can make them at home, or buy them at your local pet store. Bring Roger, I’m sure he would help you pick out the color AND style.

 

The Standard Turtle

Here is your standard turtle neck. There is no color, it is lose fitted, and it serves its purpose. Um, to be warm, hip, and uh warm.

Remember back in the day...

Widget_ciu6u4jbrn8llib0xgayol

I used to wear turtle necks to elementary school back in the day. I don’t know if you ever figured this out, but turtle necks are great to hide behind…. or prove a point.

I remember being in 4th grade and some girls were picking on me. We were on the playground and they forced me to the monkey bars, saying they were better at climbing across them than me. So, I said, “Well, I’m going to pull my turtle neck up over my eyes and climb across without looking.”
I made it across to the other side, and one girl looked at me and said, “Ok, let’s go eat a snack.”

Did I prove me point?

Be Warmer Than Your Friends

If you’ve got the turtle neck on, when that wind comes, you are going to be so much warmer! They are going to have the cold air blowing down their necks, when you will be toasty, hip, and cool… all at the same time!

The Short Sleeved Turtle

Hmmm, this serves no purpose as far as warmth goes. Other than it is what it is: A turtle neck with short sleeves.

I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out. I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
