Claire's Haul

Claire's Haul

There are some stores that I am not sure I'll ever grow out of...Forever21 (although of course I am older than 21,) American Eagle, and last but not least, Claire's. These so called "teen" stores are stocked with great cheap options if you search and consider styling. It's a little overwhelming at first, but your closet and wallet will thank you later.

I had originally gone into Claire's to look for a new sleep mask, since the dogs had eaten my last one. I had been searching for a sleep mask a few months ago, and wandered into Claire's which surprisingly has a great selection. My last one was a white terry cloth Hello Kitty version wearing sunglasses (I will never stop loving Hello Kitty-nor will I ever waste my money buying diamond Hello Kitty crap) but they didn't have that style anymore, so I picked up this black Hello Kitty with stylish bow. They had more to choose from, but I prefer the terry cloth material because I find it more comfortable than their fake satin.

While wondering around to browse, I came across these awesome tights which were 2 for $14! Score! I love the printed flower fish nets which I plan to wear with a solid color dress and boots, and the white sweater stockings will be perfect for fall and winter.

I've gotten some great statement necklaces from here before, but today I fell in love with  their earrings! The silver dangle earrings and feather and chain earrings were both $8 while the turquoise drops and silver flower hoops were $8.50. They were having a buy 2 get one free deal, but I fell in love with 4 pairs, so I sucked it up and got them all. They trick you with their BOGO sales! I am already planning so many outfits to wear my new earrings with; I can't wait!

Do you still shop at "teen" stores?
