Bag Charms: Accessories for Your Accessory

Have you noticed that bag charms are all the rage lately? I picked these up from Nordstrom a while back and I've been wearing them possibly a little too much! It might seem a little weird to some to accessorize your accessory, but personalization and making something "your own" are what it's all about right now. Whether it's a stitched monogram or some pins and patches or a cute little keychain on your purse, seems like designers and retailers are banking on customers wanting to add a special little extra touch to their wardrobe pieces. Maybe this is the backlash response to the popularity of "normcore" style a few seasons ago? Whatever it is, I can get on board with adding a cute little pom pom poof to my bag, especially for a fun pop of color. It's no secret I love pom poms and tassels anyway (speaking of which, that's why I couldn't resist these platform espadrilles from Soludos!)

If you're feeling the bag charm trend too, I've linked a ton of cute options below, including some super cute ones that go beyond your basic puff! I'm now considering another purchase, in fact. I totally need this one for Pokemon Go hunting!
