This Bulova Acutron SpaceView was my father's college graduation gift
from his parents (in 1968). It's been sitting around the house
without a battery, and with a metal watchband that'd seen better days,
for quite a while now. I finally got it in to a watch repair
place to get the battery replaced, and it seems to be keeping time
well. I also discovered that Fossil has an enormous
collection of cuff-style watchbands that are easy to swap out.
So, for about $30 total, I managed to get this "priceless family
heirloom" (as my dad views it) up and running again. Now I just
need to decide whether it's worth an additional $20 (or so) to replaced
the slightly cracked crystal on the watch's face (until I do replace
it, I'll just avoid going scuba diving with this particular
watch).
So I was at Target yesterday, refilling the highlighter supply (I swear I go through the things like TP), when I saw this cover of US Weekly:
Meanwhile, I was wearing this alluring ensemble:
She took my look!
I'll admit, I'm a bit torn on how to respond to the fact that Mrs. Federline is taking a page from my book of fashion choices. On one hand, a big round of applause for being photographed in something besides a mumu, Uggs, and a scrunchy. On the other hand, all-over argyle can make you look wide (as opposed to an argle pattern down the center of a sweater) - I was wearing my vest with a blazer over it, which helps.
Furthermore - this vest is from Banana Republic. I'm figuring it is pretty popular, because I got the last small in the store. Still - I didn't think Britney Spears knew what a "Banana Republic" was (either type!). Especially since, like, oh my gawd, its retail.
Of course, I think I wear it better than her anyways . . .
