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.

I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a litt I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a little boring! Here’s my outfit formal for keeping my summer outfits from falling short! 👇

1️⃣ Create shape and balance! I did this by adding a belt just above my natural waist. 
2️⃣ Add Jewelry. Do not skip this step! No outfit is complete without at least 2 pieces of jewelry. 
3️⃣ Define the style of the outfit with shoes! The style of shoes you pick will define your outfit. Example Sneakers=casual, Heels=dressy, in this case I went with an elevated casual sandal. It’s a step up from casual, but not too dressy. Elevated casual is my personal favorite style because it can go either way. 😉
4️⃣ Complete the look with some accessories! A cute hand bag or sunglasses 😎 

Follow this summer outfit formula to keep all your outfits looking cute and stylish this summer!

I’ve always found thrifting a great way to keep wardrobe fresh without spending a lot of money, but over the last 5 years or so my thrifting strategy has changed from getting the most for my money to intentionally looking for brands and styles that are usually out of my price range at retail prices and finding them for less buying them second hand!
