Where to Buy Chokers Online By Black Women
It seems like everyone is wearing some variation of the choker nowadays – from Cookie Lyon to your faves dominating the conversation on gossip blogs/boards. I myself dabbled in the trend briefly by adding two simple gold neckbands to my collection from JLANI Jewels. I’ve found over 20 chokers online at various price points and in different styles. After weeks of reading what my favorite style publications had to say about the resurrection of this 90’s accessory mainstay, I was dissatisfied. Why?
