Remember the rush of happiness you once felt as a kid putting a quarter into a machine at the grocery store and receiving a plastic ball filled with a sparkly bracelet? Or what about perusing the hotel gift shop as a tween on holiday somewhere warm with your parents and begging them to buy you a $5 coral necklace? Those cheap little pieces of jewelry were once precious treasures because, let’s be honest, it didn’t take much to pique one’s fashion interest back then.
But today, we’ve officially come full circle: Playful baubles and wearable trinkets are back and this time, they’re for adults-only. Crafty, beaded necklaces and bracelets, some reminiscent of those from the old machines or gift shops, are some of the most coveted accessories at the moment. The scrunchies and claw clips of Claire’s stores past have returned too, as have fruit and heart-bedecked earrings similar to those we rocked in middle school.
This summer, try traveling back to those sartorially carefree days and grab a cheeky hair accessory or piece of jewelry. Here, the most adorable baubles to buy now.
