Choker Sweater

I'm kind of excited that choker tops are a thing. I love a good v-neck but I also love a high neckline. Until now, they were just too different to coexist and now that they're here, I hope this trend sticks around for a long time. I haven't seen an unflattering one yet-- on any body type. If you haven't tried 'em out yet, I implore you to do so. If you haven't the slightest idea on how to style it, look no further.

My favorite part about this look is that it oozes equal parts unadulterated badassery and soft, feminine vibes. Black, velvet, and floral are always a great combination and this thrifted skirt has been a staple in my wardrobe for quite some time. (Most notably seen here, over four years ago. As you can see, I've definitely gotten my $7 worth.)

Because I didn't want to add a necklace to distract from the beautiful neckline and I'm not much of a bracelet gal-- but had to add something, I finished the look off with a great little statement belt. Voilà. Ready to hop on a motorcycle. If doing so side-saddle was possible and also if I wasn't terrified of motorcycles.

I can't wait to see how this sweater looks dressed up a little more or dressed down a little more. Keep an eye out because this isn't the last you've seen of it!
