There was one place that every preteen girl absolutely had to go if they wanted the latest fashionable accessories and that was Claire's. I don't know who Claire is, or how she always knew what we wanted, but she absolutely hit the nail on the head.
The things she sold were treated like hot commodities, we all just HAD to have them. There was something for everyone, no matter what their style was. How many of these things did you used to get? Did you realize that with the 90s being back in style you can basically still get mostof these things now?
1. Smiley face earrings
2. Best friend necklaces
3. Everything and anything with daisies on it
4. Mood rings
5. Those Plastic chokers
6. Or really any chokers
7. Yin-yang necklaces (especially on those chains)
8. Alien head rings and necklaces
There are even more stuff you know you used to buy at Claire's! Click to the next page to see more!
9. Your first earrings after getting them pierced in that chair at the front
10. Glitter hairspray
11. A tiara (just because)
12. Rubber bracelets
13. Those spikey balls people would use for their belly button rings or as slightly cooler and edgier earrings
14. Butterfly clips
15. So many fingerless gloves
Bonus: Surprise Bags
Honestly, even though you can still buy most of these things at Claire's now, it just doesn't really feel the same as it used to.
How many of these things do you remember shopping for when you were younger? Share your favorite Claire's accessory in the comments!
Listen, getting married in the 80s was kind of wild. Not only did you have to deal with the big hair, mullets, and mustaches, but the fashion was a whole other bag of worms. There was no way to predict how insane the dresses were going to look, but it was always safe to assume they would be pretty wild. Puffy sleeves, shiny fabric, and a lot of ruffles seemed to be the norm at the time. Let's not forget that return to the Victorian era that saw women trying to dress like an old-time princess. But, we brave the
If we are being perfectly honest here, I didn't know cardigans ever really went out of style. Sure, people don't really wear them the same way as they used to, but there's still plenty available. But the thing is, the 90s were a prime time for sweater sets and cardigans. Not only were they available in a million color options, but they had a bunch of different designs and patterns that became popular. It seemed like every person had one either wrapped around their shoulders or wore it as a crop top in the 90s. Now they are apparently "back
Remember when you were growing up and you'd go hang out in the living room for hours and hours, never leaving your spot on the couch? Well, honestly I can't pretend much has changed, other than the fact that the couch has fewer flowers on it than ever before. Most people stick to a single color now, but back in the day there was apparently nothing more desirable than a good floral pattern. Big flowers, small flowers, pinks ones, or blue, every combination was waiting for you. We've all seen a lot of bad couches in our days, but when
We've all known for a while that Blockbuster was basically a lost cause. Most Blockbuster locations closed down many years ago, leaving behind their empty buildings that look like they house all the ghosts of the 90s. However there were a few places where Blockbuster Video refused to die. There were six locations remaining in Alaska, and one in Bend, Oregon, but this weekend marks a sad moment. All of the Alaskan Blockbusters have been officially closed. Four had actually been closed earlier in the year, but this weekend the final two locations closed their doors for good. But don't
