Turtlenecks are another one of those winter items I’ve shied away fromin the past, but I’m warming up to them.  Besides when paired with a striped sweater, a black turtleneck feels just a bit Parisian and perfectly fitting for an afternoon spent in cafes and coffee shops — and even better if those cafes and shops were in Paris itself.  At least a girl can day dream.
