I am in serious need of some accessories. I literally have like two necklaces and one bracelet, and I'm not all that thrilled with them.
I've always been hesitant to spend money on them because I had a toddler and things get pulled but now I'm bored by my outfits and want to spice them up a bit.
Where do you get yours? Any good affordable options?
And yes, I know all about the bubbles. I still need to get some

Charming Charlie's is good for cheap accessories. They sort the store by color and make things easy to find. It would be a good place to try things on and see what you're comfortable with wearing. I'd start there. The bubble necklaces are huge unless you get the mini version from J Crew Factory or the smaller one on Bauble Bar. You may want to check out the size in a J Crew store before you order since it may be too much.
ETA: Francesca's is good for them too. They have good sales and variety.
I get almost all of my jewelry on Etsy. None of it is crazy expensive, and I get more compliments on it than I do my nice stuff. Plus if something happens to it you're kind of like 'eh, no big.

The ONLY thing that gives me pause about the bubbles is that I'm fairly petite. I'm chunky but I have smaller proportions so I could see if overwhelming me really easily. I do like it though. We don't have a JCrew anywhere around here so going in trying one on isn't an option.
No charming charlies here either and it looks like they don't sell online.
That was who I was forgetting! My F21 is beyond huge and I hate the place since it's so overwhelming. It's an old Dillard's with escalators. The normal stores are easier to find things in than this one.
I second Sam Moon. I ordered some stuff this summer and am really happy with it. Some can look cheap but you can generally tell in the picture if that's the case. F21 and h&m are also top of my list.
I also just found pink accessories on instagram and like some of their stuff.
