OOTD 10/18/2012 - Elephants Galore and a Fab Find




Gap Elephant Popover - Size S
J Crew Factory Tweed Pencil Skirt in Blush - Size 4
J Crew Elephant Pendant Necklace
J Crew Alessia Patent Peep Toe Pumps in Root

I first read about the Merona watch in Shopping with M's post "Cheap Thrills".  (Thanks for the tip, M :o))  I love and have had my eye on the Michael Kors Horn Watch; however, when introduced to this little lovely for a fraction of the cost...well, it was a no-brainer.

Here is the Michael Kors watch which rings up at $195....

and here is the Merona watch available at Target for $14.99....
Not bad, right?!  I've got to have a couple of links removed from mine and will probably end up paying more for that than I did for the watch.  Oh well....
Beautiful horn acrylic

Mother of Pearl dial with crystal markers and gold trim


If you're interested, move quickly, they seem to be going fast.

      Yes, the one that I got was by Merona at Target...definitely go check it out. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

  3. Nice find at target! They also have Timex watches with inter-changeable bands that are very similar to the ones at J.Crew for almost a tenth of the cost. Love your elephant print shirt with the elephant necklace, too cute:) xo

    1. I hurry-scurried in so fast...I totally missed the Timex watches...I was a woman on a mission! :o) Looks like I'll have to make another trip...for what I saved by buying this watch instead of the MK, I can afford one of the others as well.

    1. I looked high and low for this shirt, as they were sold out around here too. It was only because of the kindness of another JCA that I was able to land this cutie! :o)

    1. Funny! I was wearing my elephant pendant necklace the other day and a lady asked if it was because I was Republican...well I am, but no, it's just because I like him. :o)
