I was at a social event last month which included some of our own Newport Beach, California Royalty, (who knew?). The “Queen Bee” of the ball had on a chunky gold watch with a big face – I assumed it was Rolex. And that’s when it hit me, “who needs new apparel when you can have a show-stopping watch?” I realized then that in order to get through a year without shopping for new apparel I needed my own wrist statement–a super beautiful classic but hip watch.
This past Monday–aka dooms day, I went to Nordstrom. I had about a half hour before I was due back at the office and I was in a panic to get my last minute basics like turtlenecks and t-shirts. Naturally, since I had watches on the brain, I stopped by the fine jewlery counter, I couldn’t help myself. Ashley, the 20 year-old beautiful, model wannabe pointed out the “new reduction.” The watches had alarmingly good prices. Those that originallly sold for $2,600 were now practically free at $1,300. Ahsley said that this was the best deal in town! Who was I to argue? ”It’s a classic, you’ll wear it forever, blah, blah, blah. I fell for the “deal” and the bling encircling the big face. So, thanks to the Great American Apparel Diet I am now the proud owner of a must-have watch and a stack of unremarkable turtlenecks. And most impressively I accomplished it all in under 30 minutes.
