Spring time

Hooray for the first day of Spring!  Seattle is trying really hard to make it a sunny one.

So, I've been toying with the idea of wearing a watch.  I had this one on my Christmas list.  I still kind of want it, but I am incredibly indecisive about accessories, especially when I'm trying to make it a "statement piece."  My wardrobe is not stylized enough to be able to choose the perfect watch, so I go back and forth over a metal or leather band, large or small face, fun or sophisticated?  Currently, the only thing on my wrist is a blue hairband for last-minute ponytails = not. cute.

Here are a few I'm considering now:  Votes, please??

I really like the third one...followed closely by the second. If you have the budget...get a second "everyday" piece. It will serve you well and you won't fret if it gets banged up. My favorite is this watch:

Thanks! The third is so cheap, perhaps I should invest in two different ones until my watch-wearing style develops a little more.

After years of not wearing a watch, I recently started wearing a white ceramic one from Skagen. Now I see watches I love EVERYWHERE. The Kate Spade is cute, but I've finding it hard to resist the fuschia in the third one, and you're right that the price is pretty spot on.
