Watch and Learn

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8

What time is it? Time for you to get a {new} watch.

I got my first watch when I was seventeen. Ironically, I didn't even know how to tell time off of something that wasn't digital. Despite this, I liked watches for their sophisticated look. I liked them for the way they pulled together and completed even the simplest of looks. My first watch was only eleven dollars from the BP section at Nordstrom. Ironically again, I remember being asked a number of times if it was a Rolex. As if I would have a Rolex. It had the biggest face I've ever seen on a watch and I probably could have knocked somebody out while wearing it. It weighed practically a ton and had both silver and gold links which I thought was great because I could wear it with everything. And I did wear it with everything. As I said before, it completed my outfits and quickly became my go-to accessory. 

After buying that first watch, I became obsessed with watches. To date, I probably have twelve or so in total. I have however learned how to read one by now. My dad, quoting Rocky II, always likes to remind me that "If you want to have a good time then you have to have a good watch," and I couldn't agree more. Last year over spring break, I got a Michael Kors rose gold watch and haven't taken it off since. But take it from that first one of mine from Nordstrom that a watch doesn't have to be expensive to make a statement. Find one you can wear everyday and watch yourself never take it off.

Do you have a favorite watch? 

Cheers,
Elizabeth

  2. The bold faced watches have become so trendy as of late! I'd love to have one with a tortoise face/band.

  15. I love a good watch! I wear my MK tortoise shell one almost every single day, but I received a La Mer wrap watch for Christmas so I've been rotating that one in occasionally :) Funny enough, my co worker pointed out to me that my watch was not even set to the right time the other day haha. So embarrassing. I explained it's just an accessory for me, but then ran to my cubicle and set it haha.

    go for the glam

    1. Haha, that is great! My watch is never set to the right time either, so I always have to make up some story like I just came from London and there's a time difference or something- embarrasing! Thanks for visiting, Olivia!
