You guys, something strange happened to me last week. I was browsing the selection at H&M when I made a beeline for this turtleneck. I then proceeded to try it on and purchase it, all within about 10 minutes. Previously, I had been pinning outfits and envisioning the many ways I could style it.

I was suddenly having flashbacks to elementary school, which is probably the last time I (voluntarily) wore one. I'm not really sure why I was so turned off by them, but am happy to say that my renewed love appreciation for the turtleneck is one that I'm ready to embrace. I've even worn it a few times in different ways already - which is how I know it was a good purchase!

Have you ever been surprised by a trend or style from your past? Do share!

XO,
Alison

P.S. In case you don't check the blog tomorrow, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

  1. I love turtlenecks! I have been wearing them so much lately because they are the perfect layering pieces! My mom always told me I shouldn't wear them because they make my already-long neck look longer...but I don't care! :)

  2. I bought my first turtleneck in years last month! I forgot how warm they keep me & had no idea how sleek they could look when styled correctly. This look is great, and I love the jacket.

  5. Love the outfit! Although I think I would have added sheer black hose and pumps instead for a fall look.
