Summer Must-Have: Wooden Watches

Okay guys, I think it’s fair to say that I don’t normally jump on bandwagons. I mean, I do, but not until there is a knock-off version available at Target. The new skinny jeans? Does Target have a pair? The new sunglasses? Can I buy a knockoff online?

Because I’m so frugal, I’m always one step behind the current trends. But not anymore! I’m jumping right on this bandwagon! Have you guys seen the wooden watches from JORD? I’m obsessed. Here’s why:

I’m not a jewelry person. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I never wear it. I’m always afraid I’m going to break it or lose it or drop it down the toilet. But not my JORD Watch. I’m not letting this thing out of my sight. Even Sawyer isn’t getting a hold of this beauty. It’s wooden so I don’t worry about scratching the band, especially when she inevitably puts it in her mouth.

It fits me perfectly. You can order the watch to size, but it’s also super easy to adjust. The watch face is so beautiful (it’s blue!), that I want to match my daily outfits to the watch. And let’s be honest, it’s pretty easy to match wood to just about anything. Especially when you’re a mom, and don’t have time to put together flashy outfits. PS: It looks great with yoga pants and a top knot too!

It’s so comfortable. The wooden band makes it so comfortable to wear, I don’t even feel like I’m wearing jewelry. Maybe I’ll just wear it 24/7 so I don’t have to remember to put it on in the morning. I can barely remember to brush my teeth.

I guess the wooden watch bandwagon is the one I’m going to jump on. That is, unless I have to keep photographing my hairy arms (I never realized how hairy they looked until I tried to photograph them). But as any other new mom knows, it’s not like I have time to start shaving them now! So I’m just going to accept it and move on!
