fashion: inspiring necklines

While choosing a gown, dress or even a simple top, one important part I take into consideration is the neckline. If the neckline isn’t right for my body type, I forgo the entire piece no matter how beautiful. Believe it or not choosing the wrong neckline will only become the focal point of a fashion disaster, unless of course you are Lady Gaga or Madonna or Rihanna or {fill in the music artist}. You get my point. With that said, I have included some inspiring necklines. Which is your favorite?
