Sitting at the hairdressers I see an ocean of people with huge robes over scant clothes, it is a contradiction and as they leave they all look so perfect, with cared hair and plunging necklines! I do wish retail would realise that some of us can’t wear t-shirts any more, according to the NHS, “in 2012-13, just under 23,200 mastectomies were carried out in England.” (sorry I couldn’t find whole UK figures!!)
A sea of knees,
A field of necks,
The summer breeze
Couture forgets...
My hair’s okay,
My legs quite good,
My front a surg-
-eon never should…
Have added bobs,
And shaped in bits,
And cut my tummy,
To make up tits.
So spare a care,
My boobs don’t cleave,
Tops to the nape,
Could you conceive?
Come on, who can help? Take a photo of yourself in a favourite high neck summer top and post it with the hashtag #highnecksummer
