I hate watches.
I used to wear one. I think in high school. Or maybe it was middle school. Then I got this weird reaction on my wrist from whatever kind of watch I was wearing and when I took off my watch the weird itchy rashy thing went away and that was the end of my watch wearing. Until I had children. Then I felt like I was constantly wondering what time it was (how long had it been since she ate? slept? cried?) so I bought a new watch, and wore it for, oh, a week, and then decided the clock on the wall and microwave worked just fine. Now the watch sits in my jewelry box. The battery is probably dead, I should really just throw the thing away.
ANYWAY, since we’re doing this post about watches (so weird…nail polish last week and watches this week, gross!) I figured I’d just go on google images and find a watch that I would theoretically buy if I were to buy one solely based on looks. I think I’d go for something like this:
This images comes from dealcloset.com and apparently this is a Citizen eco-drive quartz leather strap watch. I don’t know though…I googled that and couldn’t find this watch anywhere…maybe its an old model? I don’t know. I like it though. I figure Jen would hate it because if you wear a slap watch you probably wouldn’t wear one of these. 
So there you have it.
In other news…I came across this video that Jones Design Company posted on her blog and wanted to share it. Have you seen it? THIS IS SO COOL and worth the time to watch! Especially if you love scarves! I love not only all the scarf options, but what all the other people are doing while the “scarf look” is being demonstrated. Check it out:
Other links I’m loving…
Sarah describes fall perfectly.
I love this post – 9 things to know about decorating your first home. I am on my 3rd and still needed to hear these!
I want this hat really bad (but maybe a little less expensive version).
We’re in Duluth visiting a couple friends and getting family pictures taken…but…we are coming back early to head to the bachelorette party (Jen mentioned earlier) for our future sister in law! Then, hopefully we’ll tackle another house project or two – we’ll see! Have a great weekend!
I saw that video on her site and loved it!
I wear a watch to look… more professional? But I never use it. Why? Because as a twenty-something mechanical engineer I still have trouble telling time. It’s embarrassing, but true.
me too!!! when we got home from our trip I went out with some friends and was bragging about new watch and told them it was 5:45. they all started laughing and informed me that it was actually 4:45. my slap watch doesn’t have numbers so I can’t figure it out half the time!!
I hate watches too! I think I wore one for a little bit in elementary school, but it was a digital one, because I have trouble reading analog clocks, LOL! When we were taught how to tell time in elementary school, I was out sick all of that week, so I never actually learned how to say it’s quarter after six, or ten of seven. That kind of stuff just confuses me! :p
I just had to do math to leave a comment, oh man. This is too much for one day! Reading clocks & math, yuck!
I hate the math too!! I have to use my fingers.
I can’t stand watches either…or most jewelry really. Things around my wrist make me feel like I’m in shakles or something. It’s bizarre. I have issues.
I saw that video at JDC too! I was like “yesssss!!! this is what I’ve been waiting for!!” Too often I would try to replicate a cute scarf tie only to find myself utterly befuddled. This is soooo helpful and I plan to put it to good practice in NYC in a few weeks too. Woot!
I know what you mean! I feel like I actually have options of how to wear my scarves! Now, if I only actually put them on…..
Okay, I’m not much of a watch person but I love that watch! Very pretty!
