In most ways, I will never be able to emulate Michelle Obama. Her wisdom, poise, leadership, effortless sense of style: all unmatched. So when I see a way in which to become more like the former First Lady, you better believe I’ll take it. Thankfully for us all, Michelle Obama’s “VOTE” necklace worn while she spoke during the 2020 Democratic National Convention (DNC) is available to shop now. I’m a huge fan of finding ways in which to copy celebrities’ looks, but being able to score the exact same jewelry worn by Michelle Obama on national television just takes it to an entirely new level. BRB, adding this necklace to my cart immediately.
In case you missed this year’s DNC, Michelle Obama was one of the most anticipated speakers. (If you haven’t given her speech a listen yet, please do so.) Not only were her words everything we could have ever hoped for and more, but her statement-making necklace also made a big impact on the masses. After all, we might not be able to have the same incredible mind as Michelle Obama, but we can certainly copy her gorgeous “VOTE” necklace look.
For those itching to get their hands on this necklace, allow me to introduce you to the jewelry brand ByChari. The owner of the company designed a “VOTE” necklace for the last election, and decided to create one again for 2020. Then, something amazing happened: Michelle Obama’s stylist reached out to the company to get one of the necklaces. Next thing you know, Michelle Obama is wearing this easily-attainable necklace on national TV while making an incredible speech. We truly love to see it—and shop it, too.
