Splurge or Save: Gold Watches

Image

I think a statement watch is a necessity in every womans jewellery collection. It’s a minimal piece that can go great lengths in defining your style. But $250 on a minimal piece???? Daaaaaaamn.

I’ve been eyeing this Michael Kors Gold Choromographic watch for a few months now, and was considering whether it was worth the spending 3 bills on. I was very pleased when I came across this Asos brand watch a few weeks ago on their website. I mean, at first glance, it could definitely pass for Michael. While It’s made from a cheap alloy material and has fake dials….. I figured for $45.00 I get essentially the exact same look.  Hooray for bargains!

But what do you think? Is it worth it to spend a lot on a item that may last longer? Or better to go with the bargain?
