Look. When the choker trend started coming back, I was straight up like, “NO. Nope. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I wore those in the 90s and I am NOT bringing it back.”

But then my girl Kilee over at Nickel and Suede brought them back and I started to second guess my initial, “NOPE.” And, the more I started seeing chokers worn in a more “modern” fashion, if you will, the more I started loving them again.

I mean, I ROCKED me a choker in the 90s. ROCKED IT. And I thought there would  be no way to wear one now without it looking, well, SUPER 90s. But, I gotta say… it can be done and I, admittedly, am LOVING it.

Fashion is something to have FUN with. I’ve always said that! Try something new! While a lot of what I wear is basic and simple, I also LOVE switching it up and putting on an outfit for date night (or something like that) and just having FUN with my wardrobe. Life is too short to not try something new or bring back an old trend in a new way.

Who’s with me?!

What about you? Have you jumped on the choker-trend-resurgence? Do you ever try edgy styles just for fun?
