Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Accessorizing Your Look With an Unique Wooden Watch

February 26, 2018 by Katie Haller

Today I want to talk about accessories.  To me, accessories are the key pieces to any outfit.  I love to put together budget-friendly outfits and pair them up with a nice classic accessory.  I would much rather invest in quality accessories, over an expensive piece of clothing.  Clothes get worn out and they go out of style too quickly.  A good accessory can last you a lifetime.

A watch can be a great investment accessory.  A watch can be worn every day, with almost any outfit.  I hadn’t worn a watch in years.  I recently started to wear them again, and I don’t understand why I ever stopped.  I love how they look with an outfit.  You can layer them with bracelets and I actually use my watches for telling time.  It’s much more convenient to look at my watch on my wrist than to dig through my purse for my phone.

*This post is a collaboration with JORD Wood Watches. As always all opinions are my 100% my own.

I was recently gifted this unique wooden from JORD Watches.  JORD sells a variety of unique timepieces that are so classic, but also have a modern feel.  They have so many great styles to choose from.  I went with the Cassia series in Walnut & Vintage Rose (HERE).  I love the rose gold face of the watch and the thin band.  It fits perfectly into my daily wardrobe.  I love the quality of this watch.  It’s definitely something that is going to stand the test of time in my wardrobe.  JORD watches are the perfect gift for both women and men.  They even offer watch engraving, which would be perfect for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in the coming months. 

Below, I picked out a thrifted outfit from my closet.  It’s very basic and something that I would wear any day of the week.  I love how the watch adds so much style to the look.  You would never know that my outfit was under $20 before I added my accessories.

Does anyone else still have a gingham button-down shirt still hanging in their closet? 👕 I still love this style! The easiest way to update this look is to switch out your jeans for a different silhouette.

Planning outfits for a cruises cruise can be so much fun and I can’t resist a good theme night! Each cruise is different, but these were the theme nights from my 3-night Royal Caribbean last year. 

Make sure you check your itinerary to see if your cruise has any theme nights planned!

What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! 

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕
