Review: turtleneck sweater

December 7, 2009

jcp-turtleneckI have been loving turtlenecks lately, maybe because I live in cold country and it is freezing right now. Yeah, 7 degrees at the moment. Turtlenecks always seem cute on other people, but I have not had the best of luck finding one I love. I bought this one in Red Pepper, thinking it would be nice and festive for the holidays. Unfortunately, it looked a bit mom-ish when I put it on. (No offense to moms anywhere. Heck, I am one.) I think I would try this one next time instead, as the plain ribbed style seems a bit…I don’t know, safer?

Summary:

Pros: Sweater length is decent, and sleeve length is very good for tall women.

Cons: Sweater shape is weird, and the band at the bottom feels very 80’s. Yarn pattern feels dated too.

Verdict: Back to the store it goes. But if it would work for you, details are below.

Buy Online: JCPenney

Price: $14.99-$17.99
