Do you have a piece of jewelry or an outfit that kinda takes you back in time whenever you put it on? Maybe it was a gift you received from someone special or an outfit you wore for a special occasion. I know that I have plenty of pieces in my closet that bring me back to some of my favorite memories, almost like looking at a picture from that day.
When my family and I took a trip to Hawaii, there was the cutest souvenir shop in our hotel that made all of their gifts out of Koa wood. I had my eye on a gorgeous, custom Koa watch – with $500 price tag. Truthfully, I don’t think I’d ever seen a women’s wood watch, so I loved that it was classic and unique all at the same time.
Obviously, I had a few “I’ve got to have it moments,” but rather than letting my gold standards get the best of me {see what I did there?!}, I decided not to splurge on the watch. And let me tell you … nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy.
Fast forward two years. Enter JORD Wood Watches. And just like that – problem solved.
Before JORD contacted me and gifted me {!} with my own little slice of Hawaii, I had only seen their watches on Instagram. Of course, I could tell how intricate they were by looking at photos, but until I had it around my wrist, I didn’t realize the detail that goes into making a quality wood watch.
Not to mention, it made me feel like the savviest shopper in the world for not blowing a paycheck on an overpriced watch, because believe it or not – this Koa and Ash Frankie watch is UNDER $200.
Since I tend to wear neutral colors in the winter, The Frankie was a welcome addition to my watch rotation (it’s about time I give my go-to gold watch a break). I can’t wait to pair this with a floral dress in the spring, too, because every day I wear it brings me back to Hawaii. This Chicago winter has been a piece of cake, but I can’t say that I wouldn’t love to be in Hawaii right now!
