Fashion Questions and Answers: I need a watch

January 9, 2009

I need a watch

I am not a watch person. But, I think I should be. I am always late for everything I do - and it doesn't matter what time I start - something happens, and I will be 10 minutes late. Maybe if I had a watch, this wouldn't happen.

This is my New Year's resolution...to stop being 10 minutes late. So in an effort to get a jump start on this resolution, I started watch shopping.

What do you think? Which one screams me?

Sorry about the tiny pic = this is about $105 - Skagen

This one is about $95 from Lucky Brand

This is by Juicy Couture - and is about $250

Classic - by Anne Klein - $295

Another Anne Klein option - $395

TOYWATCH- $195

Also from Lucky Brand Jeans - $75

I found most of these at Nordstrom. What do you think?
