After my first year of teaching, I treated myself to a beautiful silver and gold Citizen Eco-Drive watch (similar to this one<\/a>, without the crystals), which I wore faithfully for the next ten years.\u00a0 But now that I’m at home most of the time, I don’t wear jewelry as often, so my watch stopped running.\u00a0 I took that, plus its dressier style, as signs that it was time to update my trusty timepiece, and I found this simple watch by Tokyo Bay<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve been wearing it for a few months now, and I really love it.<\/p>\n

The watch easily slides off the leather band, so I emailed Tokyo Bay’s helpful customer service and ordered a black band for just $10, including shipping.\u00a0 This way, it’s really two looks in one, and because the ivory band becomes dirty easily, I have a replacement, just in case.\u00a0 I have actually washed the band with a little baby soap and water, and it returned to its original state of beauty.<\/p>\n

And along with some of my other fashion adventures, I’ve felt the need to find some edgier jewelry.\u00a0 So, when I ordered my calling cards from MadebyGirl,<\/a> I also purchased this gorgeous coral bracelet<\/a> with a small gold skull charm.\u00a0 I love the juxtaposition of the pink coral with the darker image of the skull, cast in gold, and it’s just funky enough for me.\u00a0 I think the watch and bracelet work well together, and the coral will really pop when I pair it with the black watchband.<\/p>\n

Just a little fashion fun for my arm.<\/p>\n

**And tomorrow is a big day for two of my Canadian friends.\u00a0 Susanne<\/a> is hosting the One Small Step Walk for her daughter, Ellie.\u00a0 It’s not too late to help them reach their goal!\u00a0 And Shayla<\/a> is getting married!\u00a0 Big congratulations to her!\u00a0 I will share a guest post on Shayla’s blog while she is away, so stay tuned for that.\u00a0 Have a wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n
