I have wanted a watch with a colored face for quite a while now. I love the statement watches. Well, I love watches in general. They are fashionable and functional so you can’t get much better in my mind! When the wonderful people at JORD contacted me to try out one of their watches I was so excited! Of course I chose the the gorgeous Cora Turquoise Watch with a Zebrawood strap.

While I have a few statement watches, I think the reason I hadn’t invested in a watch with a colored face was because I was scared I wouldn’t get enough wear from it. After wearing this beauty from JORD, I was completely wrong! There are a lot of ways to wear it. Here are some of my suggestions:
1. Make a statement and use alone or in combination with accessories to contrast with other colors in your outfit. I did this here. Turquoise contrasts with coral making the watch stand out more.
2. Pair with a similar shade. Perhaps the most obvious, but pairing a colored watch with the same or similar colors always looks great! Just careful to only pair it with one (maybe two) other clothing items so it doesn’t get to matchy-matchy.
3. Wear it with a complimentary color. If you don’t want a bold contrast, but don’t want matchy-matchy either, pairing the watch with a complimentary color is a great option! For this watch, you could wear shades of blue or green. It still pairs well with the turquoise of the watch, but doesn’t make it stand out too much.
