10 Accessories All Millennials Had Growing Up
We may all love an accessory now, but it all started in the 00s. The best decade, am I right?

BFF Necklace


Were you even true BFFs if you didn't wear half a heart around your neck?

Fake earrings


Another day, another chance to ask your parents to get your ears pierced. Until that sacred day though, clip on and magnetic earrings brought the look we wanted.

Chunky bead necklaces


Something of this aesthetic, over a vest with jeans and a mini skirt layered on top. I don't think I'll ever understand why we wore both.

Chokers


Originally a thing back in the 90s, then again the 00s and they're STILL around! Even our fave twins wore chokers in their hey day.

Baby G Watch


Perhaps the most indestructible watch ever?! Baby Gs were almost a right of passage for millennials.

Butterfly hairclips


Because why wouldn't you want a butterfly in your hair? Even if it meant having a headache all day!

Bangles


Having an arm full of jingling, constantly moving circles on our arms wasn't annoying at all.

These sound good in theory, in reality, they REALLY hurt  if they pinged your finger.
