“Hey, what time is it?” I hear this question often, and when I do my first instinct is to check my cell phone. You, too? I’m not surprised. Rarely, if ever, do I see someone wearing a watch. But why? Watches are cute and practical accessories. Not only are they a convenient means of telling time, but they can be incredibly chic and come in a wide variety of colors and styles. So, should a watch be your next investment? I say yes.

As I type this, I’m glancing every so often at the silver, pink-faced watch by Betsey Johnson that I salvaged from the designer’s many closeout sales. I’m also wondering why I never bothered to buy a watch. For those who don’t wear much jewelry, watches are a great way to add to an outfit without piling on bracelets and necklaces. Furthermore, they’re so convenient. When I have to check the time, I will no longer have to rummage around in my purse for five minutes before unearthing my cell phone. Check out the gallery for some adorable watches that can be found at a store near you! Personally, I recommend Anthropologie and ShopStyle for beautiful timepieces. 

What do you Lovelies think of these watches? Do you have a watch, or think they’re a waste of money?
