Today a lady I work with said to me ‘Now I noticed something yesterday and I thought it must have been an accidental anomaly but today I can see again that you’re wearing three watches. So… what’s the deal with that?’. I replied that all of them are broken and that I think they are pretty and want to wear them anyway. She slowly nodded and smiled at me as if she had the men in white coats waiting for me outside the door ready to shove me into a straight jacket. What did she mean ‘accidental anomaly’? Like as if I was out today thinking ‘Damn I’m such an idiot! I put three broken watches on AGAIN! Geez… what are the odds of that happening two days in a row hey?’. And yes I know it’s shocking but sometimes I wear jeans. That was another comment I received in abundance today.

Love the jeans. You look like a rock chick. Don’t worry about work ‘tard, some people wouldn’t know hot if it smacked them in the face! & You & your watches.. look very hot!
-
You look soooo skinny in those jeans…. come home so mamma can feed you xx
-
Don’t you love it when people don’t know when to shush?! I personally love the look of those watches, and the fact they are broken makes it even better for some reason… I almost want to steal the idea! Great outfit, love the red lipstick too!
-
Jeans look great on you! I always wanted to wear all my old vintage watches, from my grandma all together but then some thugs stole them from my Moving truck, jerks!
I just saw those melissa shoes at the shoe store 2 blocks away, meaning, way to close to my house and I’m wondering if they are comfy and how they hold up being that they are a interesting material. Im temped! What do you think?
-
A girl at my school once arrived with two different shoes on, both of the left feet. THAT is an accidental anomaly. Three vintage watches is fucking genius!
I know that it is a past trend which many hated, but your ensemble today has a lovely Grunge feel to it – only classier. You look fierce in any event. Xx
-
I love that she said ‘accidental anomaly’ – how very baroque and Austin-esque 🙂
-
Lovely face/hair/makeup/legs. You saucy minx!
-
Nice thrift find on that top! That outfit is right up my alley.
-
I wish I was an accidental anomaly, it’s sort of like human torpedo, or pocket venus, or some other strange little descriptor which is kind of cool really. You really, really know how to rock the red lips!
PS. have linked to you… -
Your legs look so great in those jeans.
-
Um I say you wear jeans and red lipstick forever because you look foxy. Yup, foxy.
-
i love the way you wore fishnets under your jeans too, that’s the attention to detail the ‘accidental anomaly’ would never understand!

Mama Smaggle – Really? Yay!
Marianne – This woman has NO IDEA! I like it though. She’s really amusing.
Jocelyne – I just always feel a strange in jeans. Like I’ve stolen somebody elses pants. The shoes are awesome. Super comfortable and I if I could afford it I’d buy them in every colour. Highly recommended shoe!
Grant – I did that too once! They were different feet though. It was really uncomfortable because I had to work all day. Thanks angel! I think we all have a little Courtney Love in us some where…
E – Ha I know! She is a real long talker this one…
Nadist – Oh minx! I love it!
Annie – I think it’s old school metalicus… I love it it’s super comfy.
Skye – Aw thanks!
Nadine – Really? I’m not much of a leg girl.
Kate – I’m wearing the watches again. Lets see if she can handle the pressure.
Nicole – Ha thanks! I love the red lippy. It makes me feel really complete you know?
Selina – See I just need more people like you around who understand these things!
Emily Abigail – Thanks! They are quite comfy actually.
Sal – Oh it is! I love confusing the oldies with my strange ways.
Julia – I HATE wearing working watches. They totally freak me out. But I love watches so this way I can wear them and not freak out! Win win!
The Clothes Horse – Oh I know! Why did she come right and ask why I was wearing three watches?
Joy – 🙂
Fashionistadiary – It’s surprisingly comfortable because they don’t all clang around like normal bracelets.
-
Wow! Those jeans fit you to perfection. You look fabulous! Loving the red lips.
-
How funny. Perplexing the stodgy is such a rewarding pasttime. Great photo of a great outfit, too.
-
i love the multiple watches look. when one of my friends’ watches stopped working, she let me have it and i wore it for a while with my (working) watch. i would still wear my watch, which broke, but i wear lots of bracelets already, and im one of those freaks that checks the time compulsively even if i just checked it 3 sec ago, so having only broken watches would make me scream eventually. but you keep working it! i love it. and the red lips. i love it when girls wear bright lips!
-
Ha-ha, I like the phrase “accidental anomaly,” but honestly how could anyone accidentally put on 3 watches?
-
I love this! Your wild curls and red lips are perfect!
-
i love you wear three watches! funny how that woman reacted!!!
kx -
Yep, who even says accidental anomaly… I love to wear watches as bracelets, its like they already have charms attached.
Also the red lipstick is hotness!
-
I often throw on a few broken watches too because when they’re broken they’re just pretty bracelets, not nagging reminders of my chronic tardiness. Love the look! And thank you for your sweet comment–it really brightened up my night! 🙂
-
Lauren – Whoo thank you!
Hannah – Thanks! This is my hair looks like when it’s really really dirty. 🙂
Hailey – Oh I miss Jane mag…
Marta – Thank you! I just feel displaced in jeans… but I’m working on it!
-
I think the watches work well! And your hair+the red lips=fabulous!
-
Lol! They are really pretty, I have been looking for watches like this since a Jane Mag editorial in 2006 (I think).
-
You look great in jeans, perhaps you should wear them more often. I love reading your posts and seeing your outfits!
-
Great curves!
Nice top, where from? (lol, the watches idea is pretty cute)
Zahraa -
you look uber-hot in jeans. wear them more!
ps – sorry if that sounded a little… perve-ish…
