16 accessories to buy from Claire’s that you begged your parents for in the ’90s
If you spent any time at a mall in your youth, chances are you shopped the jewelry wonderland that is Claire’s. We’re a bit sad that the mall staple has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to USA Today. That’s why we’ve gathered 16 accessories for you to shop from Claire’s that you once begged your parents for as a teen.
Even if you weren’t into pink and glitter as a teen, you probably had a friend whose tween birthday party necessitated a sparkly, affordable gift. And if you were, well, Claire’s was the spot. There were racks and racks of stud earrings for your newly pierced ears, fluffy pens straight out of Clueless, and cheapie sunglasses you could shake a neon glowstick at.
Just because you’re an adult now (who actually is, though?), doesn’t mean you can’t rock these affordable accessories and baubles from the treasure trove shopping destination. We support you in this mission.
