The Power of a Wrist Watch

I hear it from my hubby all the time, “why do I need a watch when I have an iPhone?” This is wrong on so many levels – sorry hun! Your phone also houses an obscene number of apps and distractions. How many times have you picked up your phone “just to check the time” then wound up on Facebook for 40 minutes?! Yeah we’ve all been there done that! A designated wrist watch will enable you to check the time and only the time. Aside from keeping you on track to check off all of the tasks on your to-do list, it’ll add a little bling to your arm candy. That’s a win win if you ask me!

The featured watch is from Kapten & Son, a watch and sunglasses line, disrupting the US watch market in a good way! What separates them from the rest is that you can design your own timepiece. Choose the dial color, strap, case color, and size then voila! I chose the 40mm face in white, and a mesh rose gold strap. It matches with everything and the compliments are endless. When I get tired of the mesh, I’ll swap it out for “canvas blue” or “vintage brown leather.” That’s right, the straps are interchangeable! Keeping track of the time has never looked so good and never been so easy.

Thank you to Kapten & Son for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Do not over do it

You all know I am a fan of matching coordinates, but there is such thing as being too matchy! Maybe you own a pair of lemon shaped earrings, and a printed lemon tote. Congratulations, you’re up with the times, but this doesn’t mean you should wear them all together. The only way this works is if the colors are contrasting tones. A yellow top, with the same yellow earrings, and the same yellow bag is boring and a little bit tacky. That is why I incorporated a neon purse into the mix! Although also a lemon shape, it is not a carbon copy of printed top and the colors are fluorescent.

Elegance is key

Style your printed garments just as elegantly as you would a solid. I paired this lemon peplum top with sleek stonewash jeans. Can you imagine how different it would have looked had I rocked a pair of bright green shorts instead? I accessorized with classic stiletto pumps, and dainty jewelry including my brand new Kapten & Son watch. Creating a balance between playful and polished will keep your printed pieces fashionable and fabulous. Have any of you fallen in and out of love with a style of garment?!
