so creative.. I like it!

[grandmalolly]

What a wonderful idea! I love the style, too. I can't wear turtleneck tops, so most of my necklines are v, and I can use this to help keep warm. Thanks so much for sharing! Just in time, too! It's getting cold here!

[madidolly]

Very cleaver idea! I wear v necks because i can't stand tight things around my neck. I like this because you can button it up to the point you can tolerate.

glad you all like it
