Choke Hold.

This past Christmas my sweet Nana gave me a box of her vintage jewelry. Two of the pieces were chokers. I wore one of them over the holidays, but really want a few more for this summer. Aside from my wedding ring, I only wear costume jewelry, and I'm usually never willing to invest more than $50 on a single thing because I change my mind so much. So far I've only found a few brand new chokers online that are actually cute, but they are more than I am looking to spend. I really love this first one, so I'm going to buy a lobster clasp and make it myself.

ANTHROPOLOGIE Choker $898

TOPSHOP Collar $35

Being that chokers are a vintage look to begin with, the next most logical thing for me to do was check Etsy, and voila! I found handfuls of them for next to nothing. I think I'll get the first 3 or 4.

I will follow up with some pictures of my own attempt as well as the new necklaces when they arrive.

And saving the best for last...my haven, ASOS. I got into ASOS in 2009 when I was scouting for an orange and blue "game day" dress to wear to an Auburn game. My searching lead me to this...

....which of course led me to the rest of the site, which resulted in me being the devoted customer I am today.

I literally have hundreds of Asos clothes bookmarked on my computer, and when I've got money to blow they're the first thing I spend it on. Here's a selection of things waiting to join thier long lost friends in my closet:

Cheerio!
