Charming Charlie

Awesome selection, decent prices. It’s used to always be my go-​to store for accessories. Customer service needs work. I was in there last night. Walked past three sales associates and not a single one acknowledged me. Maybe because I still had my gym sweats on, or maybe because I had my tired toddler in my arms… Who knows. It was just odd. The male sales associate even looked right at me in the eye. Not even a «hello». Just went back to shuffling whatever merchandise he was looking at.

I’m with everyone else — a great store for accessories! I love that things are color coded and the store is very neat.
I’ll just add a tip for shopping that I’ve learned. In the back left of the Annapolis store, there is a huge clearance section. Great deals but you have to search for the «good stuff.» I always start my search there and end up finding something I love for a quarter of the price of stuff in other parts of the store.
Throughout the store, they will have amazing deals on handbags too, if you look for the green or red discount tickets. These are collected in one place, which is a bit annoying, but it’s fun to turn over the price tag on a cute bag and find that it’s only $ 5 – 10 — seriously!

I am a huge fan of this particular location as my most frequent trips to the Annapolis Mall Charming Charlie’s has been a «Help! I’m in a wedding in a couple hours and I need jewelry!» Well, this is the place to go. First, the store is laid out and sectioned by colors rather than by style. So whether you want earrings, necklaces, or a bracelet, you have to shop by color. Sometimes this is a little troublesome as I find myself going back and forth between all the colors and then the table full of cubic zirconia (when in the right light, it looks like diamonds).
Prices are rather reasonable for most items, like other Unilocalers have mentioned. I’ve found the necklace and earring sets to sometimes be cheaper to buy individually as two pieces rather than as a set and the hair clips to be a little on the expensive side. But when compared to styles from big-​box retailers with a costume jewelry section, CC’s can’t be beat.
My only gripe is the new necklace I bought — a silver long stringy necklace that fell apart within hours of purchasing it while attending a friend’s wedding. Never fear, I was able to put it back together, but not easily and certainly not warranted after just purchasing it!

If you’re looking for accessories, this is definitely the place to go! Prices are good on some items, kind of high on others (hence the 4 instead of 5 star rating). But I love how the store is arranged by color… if you’re looking for something purple, go to the purple section, etc. And it’s not just jewlery… purses, shoes, scarves, hats… even a few clothes. If you can’t find something here, then you’re just impossible to please!

A totally GIRLIE store. Someone finally understands our fashion accessory needs. As you stand at the door just take a DEEP breathe, and a basket. Start walking slowly and ENJOY. Love this store.

OMG! Where do I begin…
Everything is SO CUTE and so necessary.
The gals and I spent well over an hour in this store shopping for an upcoming vacay. There’s jewelry, accessories, shoes, purses, wallets for every style and color preference.
If you’re looking for a watch, best believe there are a pair of shoes, a scarf, a headband and earrings to match.
For every item I put back, I picked up two — sometimes three things in return.
The store is HUGE, clean and very much organized. Each section is color-​coded with different shades of each color. Never been a big fan of red, but I certainly racked up in that section. Each hue is cuter than the next.
Can’t wait to go back!
