I’m only into my fourth week of school and I already feel like I’ve learned so much!
In addition to taking in a lot of new information, it’s been interesting getting to know my classmates. We all have very different backgrounds, talents and passions, but we’ve bonded by sharing a common interest. A few of my classmates have noticed that I always come to class wearing fun outfits and accessories, so I don’t think they were surprised to find out that I blog about fashion.
I don’t wear anything overly “crazy” to school, but my accessory game is always on point. After all, I believe that good accessories are key to a fabulous outfit and I’ve got to practice what I preach.
One of the pieces I’ve been wearing lately is my wooden watch from JORD. I know there’s a lot of people out there who don’t wear a watch, but I will never be one of those people. Even though I often use my phone to check the time, I feel ‘naked’ if I’m not wearing a watch. Seriously, on the rare occasion that I forget my watch, I find myself looking at my wrist to check the time. If you’re loooking for a new watch, check out hotrate reviews.
JORD offers a range of styles for men and women, all of which are the perfect combination of modern and rustic. All of the JORD wooden watch collections are carefully crafted from natural, sustainably sourced wood. Even though the watch itself is lightweight, you can tell it’s a quality piece (and they have a warranty to back it up). I also love the packaging, which you may remember from this post.
What I’m Wearing:
Cardigan – Roots (Similar)
Blouse – Joe Fresh (Similar)
Jeans – LOFT (Same)
Watch – ‘Fieldcrest’ c/o JORD (Same)
Sandals – Jessica Simpson via Winners (Similar)
Have you heard of JORD watches? If not, you NEED to check them out!

Thanks! I think the fact that they’re so lightweight helps with the comfort-factor 🙂
Rach says
That is awesome that you are learning so much and that no one is surprised about your blog 🙂 I always wear a watch too, even if I don’t ever use to check the time haha. I can’t believe your watch is made out of wood? It’s so well made that it looks metal-like!

Jackie says
Well, I’m sure when you tell people about your blog that they aren’t surprised either!
I was actually very surprised at how well-made the watch is. I don’t think I would have ever thought to construct a watch out of anything other than metal or leather on my own.
Tracy says
Such a cool watch and of course love seeing the floral and pink! Have a great week 🙂

Love that watch! I’m not a huge fan of “metallic watches” so the fact that yours is wooden is right up my alley!

I’m not much of a watch person either, but I wish I were. It seems much less distracting than having to pull out my phone every five minutes. I’ve never seen wooden watches before but yours is so gorgeous! The wood adds such a nice textural element to the watch 🙂

A wooden watch? Now, that’s cool! I never would have thought of anything like that, but it looks perfect for warmer weather. I bet you’ll rock that the next time you’re in Florida! Love that floral top!
