An old friend of mine always looks super chic, but has confessed to me many a time that she spend an absolute fortune on her wardrobe. When we first met, I assumed her Prada handbag was on loan from Bag, Borrow or Steal, but quickly learned that there’s no borrowing or stealing in her life. No, no. This girl is an owner-a-plenty.
She recently showed up for brunch wearing an incredible gold watch I instantly assumed would be a Rolex. “What do you think?” she asked me, holding up her wrist. “It’s really nice!” I replied just as she blurted out “I got it at Swatch!”.
Huh? Swatch? As in the land of bright, plastic watches?
No kidding.
A far cry from the watches I wore (3 or more on the same wrist, natch), this one screamed sophistication and class. Perfectly oversized, the watch instantly upgrades an outfit from snooze-y to swanky. Add a gold bracelet for a little flair to call it a day!
