Charming Charlie – Kansas City

Have you been here??? I’m pretty sure I should get a restraining order on myself. Luckily, I don’t live so close anymore, but I really could go there every single day. I was in there for maybe like 29 hours this time (slight exaggeration). They’re helpful, but not bothersome. They have a great, wide selection. Seriously, I’ll never buy a purse anywhere else.
The only thing I don’t love is the checkout. You have to like reach over this giant table of items for sale to do your credit card. It’s uncomfortable.

This place is awesome. It is sectioned in colors so you can find what you need pretty easy. They have a big selection and are they are quick to help if you have questions. Check out their clearance section in the back, you can find some good deals back there.

Very helpful staff, so much to choose from. Great prices, what is not to love!!!

Very neat accessories store! Reminecent of Merry Go Round stores in the 1980’s! I’ve not only bought several items for myself but for my 4 y/​o niece and best friend’s young daughter as well. Jewerly, scarves, a few toys. Plus the associates are helpful as well.
Great store!

This store is HUGE! It is the typical Charming Charilie with color coordinated areas of jewelry, purses, shoes, clothing and other miscellaneous accessories. However, it is larger than any of the other stores in the metro area. In addition, there is a huge clearance section in the back. They have periodic sales on the clearance section and this stuff is dirt cheap. Check it out! I love this place for jewelry. Sure, it’s not going to last forever, but the prices make you not really care.

WOW! This is so new, it isn’t even on their website yet!
This is the third CC that I’ve visited in the KC Metro, and I was wowed just when we walked in. It seemed very open, and larger than the Leawood or Zona Rosa locations. I liked it even before I discovered the little surprise it held for me. It’s almost twice the size it originally appears!
Check out all the great accessories up front, color coordinated: watches, necklaces, earrings, purses, hats, scarves, and more. Prices are not too bad, and you get some neat looking costume jewelry. You’re all happy now, right?
Imagine how happy you’ll be to stumble to the back wall, and find there isn’t one… it opens up into the CLEARANCE section! Buy 1, get 2 free! Yes, you read that right. WOO HOO! Now, there are reasons some things didn’t sell in the first place; the purse that isn’t ugly enough to be cool, but it is too ugly to be pretty? You’ll find dozens of those (where do they go to die after this stop? Burlington? Even Marshalls or TJ Maxx wouldn’t take some of these things!), but also tons of great deals. Maybe it was the last item on the rack, and they had to take it down to make room for their constantly changing inventory. (Note to self: If you see something you like, buy it, because it won’t be there next time). Anyway, back to the clearance situation: don’t show up 15 minutes before closing time and expect to have enough time to shop. To be fair and find the best things for yourself, you need 45 minutes, easy, especially if you are looking for shoes… they are wrecked back there. There were a LOT of special occasion purses and clutches, and it looked like quite a few clothes.
Nonetheless, I found an AWESOME purse (and I’m very choosy about my bags), another for my BFF, and even a top that should work in the meantime while I work to find the perfect one for my outfit. 3 items: $ 20. Pretty good deal, I think. It could be that their stuff is priced a bit high to begin with, but I find the regular prices pretty fair, and their clearance prices (marked down AND also free stuff with it!!) even better.
Hints: Park in the lower level in the parking garage near Dave and Busters, and you’ll walk right in next to it. And since I’ve been so nice to share these tips with you, please don’t buy the last purse on the rack when it’s perfect for me and I haven’t gotten there yet to give it a new home. :) Or just get it and bring it to the next Unilocal event for me! :) You know you want to…
