Turkey Neck Alert

I'm not thrilled with the way my neck looks, so I ordered some chokers to hopefully, disguise the dreaded sag........

Wish me luck

Aging is better than the alternative. Be proud of yourself just as you are.

I say this as someone who inherited Mom's saggy neck and jowls. It took me a while to accept it. One day I got up and decided I'm just fine the way I am and if others don't like it, they don't have to look.

Getting older isn't for sissies.

It's my neck...not my face that is a "give-a-way" to my age. While it's not the favorite part of me, at this point, I feel lucky to even be here. While I'm still not used to it and can't say I love it...It's good to know that God isn't finished with me quite yet!

Fine, but you wear jewelry, don't you? So what's wrong with putting that jewelry around your neck? Killing two birds with one stone!

Sometimes I feel wearing jewelry pieces close to the neck only draws more attention to that area. Mine isn't too bad yet but I see it declining

@LindaSal

I agree. It's much better to wear an 18"/20", to draw the eyes to a more favorable area.

@BoopOMatic @KingstonMom @LindaSal

Linda Sal and KingstonMom, I agree that chokers just draw attention to an area that we don't want to highlight, when we lose neck and jaw firmness.

Chokers were something that I wore when I was younger and everything was firm, including my jawline.

When we lose that firmness of youth, longer necklaces are much more flattering and do draw attention away from the neck and jaw area.

I disagree.

Barbra Streisand is good at this.

@BoopOMatic I feel your pain, and wish you MUCH luck!!🤞🤞 Up until last year, I was aging well! People ALWAYS thought my daughters and I were sisters. Their male friends really got a kick out it.😄 Whenever I had to present an ID, people were quite surprised. Several Illnesses, and Father Time changed that this past year, and I have aged at least 10-15 years(my estimate). I now have a few wrinkles, some fine lines, and an area under my chin that has started to sag a bit, and I am trying to become accustomed to it.🥰

I always said I would age gracefully, and NEVER alter what I was born with, but that was then.😁 I have not worn a choker since my 20's so please update, and let us know how it works for you.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Did I say there was anything wrong with wearing jewelry around your neck? No. I just said be proud of yourself no matter what.

No, you didn't, but you intimated that one should be proud of oneself 'just as you are.' That's how it sounded to me, like you don't need to hide it. But if it makes one feel better hiding it, why not? That's all I meant, and not in a nasty way-sorry if it sounded nasty.

Not current picture. For the last few years and during all the press for her book she was covered up to her chin.

This reminds me of being in Costco a couple of years ago and heard a man in his forties probably, yelling to his wife who was on the other side of the aisle. "Hey, honey! This says it's for " turkey neck" isn't that what you have"? He was holding a pkg of Strivectin...I will never forget the look on her face when she came around and glared at him!
