He Wore, She Wore

Awhile back the lovely people over at Jord watches sent Craig a watch. He was pretty excited since he very rarely receives any fun blog-related perks (usually all the fun stuff is for our kids). He got choose a watch from their collection of awesome wood watches – he chose the Fieldcrest (in black) – and when it arrived we were both big fans.

I really like the juxtaposition of the sleek shape with the rustic feel of wood. It’s unexpected and doesn’t feel too fancy like many men’s watches. In fact, Craig actually doesn’t wear watches very often, because they often feel too dressed up, but this watch is perfect for every day with jeans and a t-shirt, or a more dressy look. He loved how light it was as well. Craig isn’t a fussy kind of guy and he’s always working with his hands, so anything too heavy or cumbersome wouldn’t fly. This watch is perfect for his lifestyle.

When it comes to watches, I love a good mens watch – always have. I just like the substantial look of them, so as you can imagine it took almost no time before I started “borrowing” it for myself. Since we were both taking turns wearing it, I thought it would be fun to style it two ways…hence a “He Wore, She Wore” post, so you can see it in action!

Here’s how I wore it on an apple (and plum!) picking outing last weekend…

Thanks for the watch Jord! …And for giving me a reason to convince my husband to make more appearances on the blog. Hopefully I can make this happen more often, because it was a lot of fun tag teaming this!

Love and accessory sharing,

Lauren (& Craig!)
