What a Difference a Watch Makes

We all have our “security blankets”….even as adults.  Sometimes they’re as psychological as a friend of mine who counts the light fixtures in every new place she goes.  Somehow, that makes her feel better.  (Weird, I know. )  When my sister in law was little, she used to have to lean down and touch the ground every few steps.   I guess just to make sure it was still there????   For me, my security is my watch.  My good ol’ classic Timex.  I could have had it for 20 years, or 2 months, you would never know.  That’s why I depend on it so much.

I have no idea how you or I would classify my style.  I guess my “signature look” would be that you never know what my look will be.  Make any sense?  I could be bohemian one day, and English rock n’ roll then next.   It all depends on my mood.  But, the one constant in my fashion experimentation is my watch.  Somehow, that one ever-present piece adds just the right amount of credibility to any outfit.  I can wear the trendiest, craziest thing in my closet and somehow I feel like people will still take me seriously if I have on that tiny little ticker.  Here is the one I have and a few others that will add that sophistication even to your 1980’s neon pink leggings.  (I love steel and gold watches.  They go with everything.)
