Kids these days: they might think that you're totally clueless when it comes to social media and smartphone intricacies, but they're the ones who just don't get it sometimes. Even though this generation is exposed to Claire's and all of the accessory store's shiny wonders, the products that fill this beloved shop are a bit different.
