Where is the time going? Anyone? I’m not complaining, since the main reason this time of year always seems to fly by so quickly is because there are SO many fun and exciting things going on. The cooler weather means we can get outdoors more. There are all sorts of activities and get togethers happening, and there is so much good food to be had! But seriously, Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK?!
I’m back for another round of What Mama Wore this week because I’ve been having so much fun styling this bump lately. Specifically, I’ve been trying to figure out ways to stretch (pun intended) my own wardrobe where I can to avoid spending a fortune on maternity clothes. I’m still on the lookout for a winter coat when it starts to really cool down, but if NC treats winter like it did fall, I might be able to get away without one. We shall see…
Anyway on to today’s post. I’m calling it “Fall Style Staples” because it really is a timeless look that I think will always be trendy.
Fall Style Staples
I picked up these dark wash skinny jeans from Ross recently and the black sweater is non-maternity and one that’s been in my closet for a while. I really don’t think you can go wrong with a classic black sweater and a good pair of dark wash jeans.
But can we take a minute to talk about the rest of this outfit? These leopard print slippers are by Nine West and I picked them up at at thrift store in Boone a couple of years ago for just $3! I love how they add a little bit of flair to an otherwise basic outfit.
The watch is a new addition to my wardrobe and one that I am really excited about. It’s from JORD Wood Watches and it’s absolutely gorgeous. To be honest, when I was first contacted by JORD, I was a little skeptical. I had seen their watches before and loved the look, but I wasn’t totally sure how I would like them – especially since I spend most of my days chasing my sweet toddler around. They seemed too fancy for me.
Then the strap on my fitness tracker broke just one day before we headed out on vacation and I was more excited than ever to choose a JORD watch for its replacement. I’ve been wearing this watch around daily for the last few weeks and I wanted to share some of the things I really love about it.
My JORD Watch
There were so many watches in the collection that I loved, but ultimately chose the Frankie 35 in Dark Sandalwood and Mint. The dark wood band is a great compliment to just about everything in my closet and the beautiful mint face provides the perfect pop of color without being overwhelming.
First Impressions
First impressions matter and JORD knocks it out of the park with theirs. My watch shipped quickly and arrived soon on my doorstep after placing my order. When I opened the box, I was already impressed. The attention to detail with these watches extends even to the packaging. Each watch comes in a beautiful wooden box and includes a polishing cloth and wood conditioning pen to help preserve the wooden band. It’s also got additional details to help you care for your watch. The wooden bands are porous, for example, so can get damaged if submerged in water.
What I Love About It
- It is so lightweight and comfortable. I thought that I would notice a bigger difference when wearing my JORD watch as opposed to my fitness tracker. My wrist is also pretty small, so I didn’t want anything that would be overwhelming. I assumed it would be more bulky, but this is simply not the case. The wood is so light, I often don’t even notice it.
- Watches can be ordered to size so it fits right out of the box. Before ordering your JORD watch, you can print a wrist measuring guide, which will help you submit your size right to the order form. This means that when the watch comes in, it’s already been fit to you. (All the extra links and pins will be included in your box.)
- Excellent variety of bands and faces to choose from. I love the dark sandalwood and mint face of my watch – but JORD really had tons of options to choose from. Whether you are looking for men’s or women’s watches, something more bold and bright or subtle and neutral, there is something for you. Even the wooden bands vary so much in color and style.
- The simple to maneuver butterfly clasp closure. Let’s be honest. It can be hard to get those little hooks on watches and bracelets together one handed. JORD watches have a simple to use, but still secure stainless steel butterfly clasp, making the watch easy to put on and off.

“The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count. Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time.” – JORD Wood Watches
Simple and chic. Love the flats!
Thanks! I was thrilled to find them a thrift store for just $3, but now I know I’ll be buying another pair when these are worn out!
Love your look! I found my Fall/winter pregnancy the easiest to wear non maternity for because I was naturally hotter and sweaters and I could throw a regular cardigan or jacket on top of my one maternity T. Love the watch too!
Thanks so much! I have definitely found that more things still fit during these seasons, which is really nice. I’ve been doing the same thing – throwing on cardigans or jackets (even if they don’t close still) over tees.
That Jord watch is pretty. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. Nicole at High Latitude Style

You are SO CUTE! That outfit is adorable on you and really shows off your bump! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I can’t believe how quickly the time is flying with this bump! It’s hard to believe we’ll have another little one soon!
I love that watch! What a wonderful find! I would love to receive that as a gift. I love that you can get a custom fit too!
I have really enjoyed it! It makes a great gift and you’re right the custom fit is really nice. It was really great to be able to wear it right out of the box – and they send the extra links so it can be resized if it needs to be in the future.
I absolutely love your outfit! Such a classic!!
Thanks so much! I’ve been trying to keep it simple these days (and also just wear whatever fits!)

I first experience Jord Watches a few years back when I got one for my husband. Before long I had to take it for myself LOL. I love the look and feel of them.
I don’t blame you – their men’s watches look great also! I have really enjoyed mine and I’m glad to hear you liked yours too!
You’ve shown the watch beautifully!! The company really has done it well with their packaging, don’t you think?? And the face on this one is super cool!

Thank you so much! I enjoy wearing them – especially during this time of year!
Sweaters are one of my favorite pieces of clothing and a must have for fall and winter. I love the coloring on the face of that watch.
Thanks – I really love a good cozy sweater!
OK, you’re the cutest preggo ever and you’re making me miss my bump! Love how you styled this look!
You are so kind! I’m definitely reaching the last weeks and am beginning to embrace the pregnant waddle with each passing day! I’ll have to post another update soon!
Firstly – congratulations! Those watches are lovely – I might have to put one on my Christmas list!
Thank you! They make GREAT gifts! And you can get my watch for just $99 during the Black Friday sale!

These make GREAT gifts! And they have so many excellent options for men & women!
Such a pretty watch!
Thank you so much! I really like it a lot. I was a little nervous to get the mint face rather than something more neutral, but it has still gone well with everything I’ve worn!
Love your adorable bump style! That watch is a stunner! The bright color is so eye catching!
Thank you! I am really glad I went with the mint color face!
you looks so pretty & chic darling love your jord dear keep posting…
Thanks – I really love the JORD watch – I have really enjoyed it!
Super cute outfit! I love the watch with the bright face!
Thank you! The bright face is one of my favorite parts of the watch!
Very cute outfit! I wore non maternity clothes my entire pregnancy and I’m glad I did, because I still wear my clothes from my pregnancy. I love those leopard shoes. What a great deal! I’m also loving that watch and the color!
Thank you! I have been really thankful to make it this far with mostly non-maternity clothes! And now, I just really don’t want to spend a lot on maternity clothes since we’re so close to the end (which is crazy to me)!
I love the purse and the watch soo much! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you! The bag was actually a gift to me from my sister one year for Christmas – I think she got it from Target. It has been a great tote these days! I have loved wearing the watch, too! It’s been so comfy and a great addition!
Super cute outfit and I love the watch! That aqua face is very cool!
Thank you – the face is my favorite part of the watch. The color is definitely bright, but it is so complimentary to so many other colors!
I LOVE your leopard print shoes! And that aqua watch face!
Thank you! Two little accents of fun to an otherwise classic, but simple outfit!
I love that watch! The turquoise and brown color combination is beautiful.
It really is a fun combination! I have enjoyed wearing it a lot!
Oh my gosh- your bump is soooo cute. I love this outfit from head to toe (maybe especially toe!!!!) and everything in between. Jord is amazing and I love the color you chose! <3 Jamie
Thank you so much! I’m starting to feel a little large and [not so] in charge with it these days! I also really love the JORD watches! I’ve been wearing it every day!
Cute outfit, love the pumps. Thanks for sharing. Jacqui

Thanks so much, Jacqui! They are definitely some of my favorite shoes!
I cannot believe Thanksgiving is this week already! This season has just flown by. Your outfit is so classy – you can’t go wrong with a black sweater and jeans! I really love the wooden watch too; you don’t see too many of those, and the mint face adds a nice pop of color.
Thank you so much! It really has flown by!
LOVE that watch! It’s super cute. And I love your outfit. You’re looking great, girl! I tried to wear non-maternity clothes as long as possible when I was pregnant, too. I think I made it up until about 36 weeks then my bump could not fit in any non-maternity tops any longer! I was so happy to wear my “real” clothes again.
Thanks so much! I am definitely adding some more maternity pieces – but I’m thankful to have some pieces that are still working for me now!
Such a pretty watch! I love the turquoise!
Thank you!
I absolutely love your watch! That turquoise colour and the wooden box, that’s a perfect combination! And I’d be really happy if someone gave me such a gift for Christmas 🙂
Thank you! I have been wearing it literally everyday! It is a great gift idea!
