Also would be good opportunity to wear that jolly white shirt I bought for my head and shoulders photos and of course never wore again. I did put it under my argyle sweater though and liked it. I totally think you can do that IM shirt under it. I can't have loads of stuff around my neck (can't do scarves) because of my short neck (Darn my short-necked Dad!)

Not so different to me. Big scarf optional. Try the jumper - get the beige - it's nicer than the blue. The blue looks a little like it's been fluffed on but that's because of the alpaca in it.
