Hello, and welcome to Dressed for My Day. It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s time for a new YouTube video. Today I’m sharing tips for styling a cashmere turtleneck sweater and showing a look-book full of style inspiration. But even if you don’t wear cashmere…or turtlenecks…you’ll find some take-away here. I’m also sharing some v-neck options and providing style tips that work for other sweaters as well.

We often joke about family drama, but the dynamics of our families of origin truly do have the potential to set us up for trouble. Whether our families were {are} riddled with jealousy, favoritism, neglect, conditional love, distance, strife or any other brand of dysfunction, we’re wise to face the truth and call it what it is. But the safest place to do that is not necessarily around the Thanksgiving table. First we must take our family baggage to the Lord and unpack it with Him.
There in the midst of His grace and truth, God will help us sort through the memories and scars, the tears and the anger with the aim to heal…not blame or bury. You see there is no past offense, misspoken word, sin of omission or commission or rift in relationship that cannot be healed or redeemed by the blood of Christ. That’s not to say that you can make other people behave just because you’ve prayed about it. But you can begin to see those people through new eyes so that you can relate to them with the grace and love you’ve been given.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. ~ Genesis 37:3-4
Thanks for today’s video, Kay! I must say, your hair style is just so attractive and becoming on you. Lovely!!
Great article! I struggle I guess with the opposite problem because I have long narrow feet. I wear a 10 narrow shoe but wear an orthotic and need a supportive shoe. Do you know where I could shop online for fashionable shoes?
I also love the way you are styling your hair! It’s so modern and flattering on you.
Hi, Phyllis. I have narrow feet, too. They are a lot harder to find than a wide shoe! My best sources are Zappos and Nordstrom, and both offer free shipping both ways! I see that Talbots have a few narrow shoes as well. Does anyone else know of sources for narrow shoes?
You style clothes so well, but would like to see how you can style the same outfits without having bare ankles. The majority of the outfits shown are with no socks which is impractical for winter. How does a gal balance style with practicality? I have wrestled with that since I moved from The south to the colder climate. How do you wear these styles and stay warm? I know I am not the only one.
Hi Camille. I was simply showing styles for all climates. When I lived in the south I would definitely wear shoes with no socks through winter. I have a post coming up soon o how to wear socks in the winter. I’m working on it now. 👍
Hi, I wear knee high sox which are in a similar fabric to matt tights, in a neutral colour under my trousers and if it is very cold, I will wear 2 pairs at the same time! Hope this helps.
I loved this video. So many ideas and information on cashmere sweaters. I have 5 now.
Three v-neck and 2 round neck. I love them. I have not ordered a turtleneck because I
really dislike turtlenecks. They are so constricting around the neck and I am always pulling
at the neckline. After you explained about the neckline on a cashmere turtleneck, I took the
plunge and ordered from Macy’s through your widget. They have a black one in a turtleneck
in my size medium left. My other cashmere sweaters are different colors so this will work
right into my wardrobe. Thanks Kay.
Great! I think you may like it. 😉
Hi Kay,
Thank you for your video. Great outfits and inspiration.
I was wondering how to care for cashmere and other sweaters and specifically what to do if they pil.
Thank you.
God bless,
Beth
Hi Beth. I use this comb from the Laundress. They have other products and tutorials too. https://shopstyle.it/l/bqVNp
Thank you so much Kay! Great job on all of your posts and videos!
Blessings,
Beth
If your sweaters pill just use a sweater shaver! You can order this handy gadget from Walmart on-line. Use a careful hand. It cuts off the pills and collects them in the container connected to the sweater shaver. I’ve saved numerous sweaters with this handy little machine!
Thank you Natalie!

HI Kay,
Love the different looks. I have tried pinning a few but with no luck. Hopefully this is something that I can do at a later date. Keep the wonderful ideas coming. Good luck on the house hunt.
Hi Cyndi. No, I don’t know that you can pin those. But you can the video title graphic 😉. I’ve found that posting the photos on the blog post was just too time consuming. As it is I worked on the video and blog post from 8 in the morning until 10 at night. I really wish I could provide all the bells and whistles, but I’m having to learn to prioritize my health and sanity 😜. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
