Michael Kors MK4235, Tortoiseshell Print Watch, $60 (orig. $195)
Pros:
- Tortoiseshell + gold color scheme allows me to pair this with my growing collection of gold jewelry
- Big, easy to read face
- Removing links was a snap and did not require any extra tools (I removed 2 links and it now fits perfectly with just the right amount of space so it's snug yet comfortable)
- Price - what a steal!
Cons:
- The clasp is a bit awkward for me. I have a hard time putting on and taking off this watch.
Net: 4 pros to 1 con (plus the heartache I felt in leaving it behind - I know, I'm very melodramatic) means it's a keeper!
From what I understand, the sale price stayed the same from pre-Thanksgiving to post-Thanksgiving so if you live near a Fossil outlet and are in the market for a MK watch, go check it out!
So they sell MK watches at the Fossil outlet? That's interesting....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal! And yeah the clasp is a bit unique but I'm loving it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat????? This watch was only $60???? I really like it, the tortoise shell is stunning! So glad your Aunt picked it up for you :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you ended up getting it in the end :D It's a unique one because of the clasp. I'm sure you'll get used to it :P
ReplyDeleteLOVE! I am in desperate need of watch. that was so nice of your aunt!

Leesh - Yep! Fossil manufactures / designs many "designer" watches like Burberry, MK, Emporio Armani, Michele so some Fossil outlets (but not my local one) will also sell these brands.
ReplyDeleteElaine - I'm so glad that I finally have a dressier watch now and for such a good price! :)
Bessie - The outlet we went to was Lighthouse Place in Indiana about an hour east of Chicago if you're interested :)
Jessy - I hope so! I just need to get less clumsy with it :)
Chelsea - Thanks! I had been on a watch hunt for quite a while so was glad to find this one. Maybe head to a Fossil outlet to peruse their selection? Hope you find one!
I remember this purchase. Such a great deal! It looks great on you. It's so different than the typical MK ones that we've seen on many petite bloggers - including me =)
ReplyDeleteI have a much loved watch that I wear all the time - 24/7/365.25. I'm very sentimental about it because it has quite a s Tory behind it. It was the first fancy watch my mom got me and I lost it 6 months later (it was much later found under my bed). I told my BF about it and a few months later he managed to dig out the same watch at the outlets. It was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me (he remembered months after I mentioned it in passing) so Hell will freeze over before I stop wearing this watch.
ReplyDeleteI like the watch you found though I prefer round watches (and not MK- I like the simplicity of Movado better). If I ever get a new watch I would probably go for a warm tortoiseshell and gold tone too- it's way more cheery than silver/black. Also this is a great price for MK - so its a deli nite keeper then :)
P.S- my bun stays on with spit and prayer. I kid- the ason my bun stays on my head is because my hair is very very fine. If I twist it enough it stays put.
ReplyDeleteI love that watch! It's so sexy and glam... Sharon Stone in Casino.
ReplyDeletevery cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pick from MK! :) I love Fossil outlets I got my watch there when I went to the US - though it wasn't an MK but I still like their watches plus outlets are always so much more cheaper which I love :)

What a great find!! I've been wanting to get a MK watch but they are quite pricey. Will keep an eye out next time I'm at the outlets!
ReplyDeleteGreat score!! I love how chunky AND feminine it is!
ReplyDeleteJealous! I need a Michael Kors watch! I love the tortoise color-and what a steal for $60!

I love the tortoise-shell watch! It's so pretty, and I can't believe it was inexpensive. I bet this goes with almost every single outfit.

I'm a new follower, and I have to say that I adore your blog! All your DIYs/solutions are so creative, they inspire me to be the same. :)
ReplyDeleteThe MK watch is SUCH a bargain, I cannot believe you scored it for so cheap! I'm currently eyeing the 'Small Madison' (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-kors-small-madison-twin-row-crystal-watch/3150151?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=michael_kors_'small_madison'_twin_row_crystal_watch:338643&cm_pla=jewelry:women:watch&cm_ven=Froogle&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=2F2301F4-9925-E011-AB84-001517B1882A) but waiting for it to go on sale is going to be torture!
Awesome watch! I don't usually wear watches because my wrist is so small but this one looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove it and that too for an awesome price!
ReplyDeletehey, there!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely a steal. love the tortoise-shell design, and it's something that i'd totally wear myself. great auntie to purchase and send it to you... :)
enjoy your day!

Great find. I love the look of it. I must be out of it but I did not know fossil sell MK. Have to check it out now.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your Vera Wang response, I have to agree that a lot of her piece is interesting and elegant. Yet somehow I never manage to find one that fits my taste. Well except for the one you posted in an earlier post. Maybe I should browse at the store versus online that way I can see it in person.

Truly an amazing find! Looks fabulous on you! What is that gold bangle I see....?
ReplyDeleteSydney - Thanks! I now have 2 of these - one in snake print and the other in tortoiseshell, though the tortoiseshell is getting a lot more love right now :)
ReplyDeleteAnna - Awww, what a sweet story about your boyfriend! So thoughtful! I used to have a silver Fossil watch with a black face that I loved but after wearing it for years, it stopped working. I used to love how easy the clasp worked to take it off / put it on. I miss it but I do have a weak spot for this color combo.
Andree / Eugenia / GlamorousGirl - Thanks so much for dropping by and commenting!
Kat - I love outlet shopping! It appeals to the deal hunter in me :)
Karen - Thanks! They definitely are! I was amazed at how much these were marked down at the outlet.
Michelle / Erin / Bonnie / Newpetite / Jasmine / My Mini Bag - Thank you! I've been wearing it all the time now - just love the colors!
JJ - Thank you for your super sweet comment! I hope you get the MK watch you've been eyeing at a good price!
Thu - Thanks! You should check out Jean from Extra Petite for her watches / watch reviews. Her wrists are smaller than mine (mine are 5.25") and she's found some great watches - I think MK and Movado.
Annie - Thanks! Sad to report that the bangle is actually quite large. I make a conscious effort to spread my hand out a little bit to prevent it from falling off.
