Or, you’re more of a tech guy and an \u003ca href=\"https://www.apple.com/watch/\"\u003eApple watch\u003c/a\u003e is your vibe. Either way, it lets women know a bit about who you are.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://ashleyweston.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/NATO-Strap-Watches-Ashley-Weston.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"9-shows-you-pay-attention-to-the-details\"\u003e9. Shows You Pay Attention To The Details\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike with all of your wardrobe, the details matter, and women notice the details. From the fit of your clothes to your haircut, each small component combines to form an important part of the whole. Watches are no different. The right watch and style choices on your wrist show you care about the right details.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://ashleyweston.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/watch-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"10-shows-how-cultured-you-are-or-arent\"\u003e10. Shows How Cultured You Are or Aren’t\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe you think watches are redundant since you have a phone, sure, we get that. But, going that extra step is going to add another layer to your style and show that you’re about more than just the absolute bare minimum, and that’s definitely really sexy. But, it’s important to consider what you’re wearing and when just like your shoe choice. You wouldn’t wear Jordans to a wedding so you should consider what watch choices you’re making too.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://ashleyweston.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/watch-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"11-indicates-where-you-might-be-in-life\"\u003e11. Indicates Where You Might Be In Life\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo matter where you are on your journey, personal or style-wise, your watch choice is a big indicator of where you are and where you are going. Like we said before, women (well, the right women anyway) aren’t concerned with how fancy or expensive your watch is, but knowing where you’re at and where you’re going is important.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e![](\u003ca href=\"https://ajulusthoughts.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/watchesohkvf.jpg?w=474\"\u003ehttps://ajulusthoughts.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/watchesohkvf.jpg?w=474\u003c/a\u003e =442x276)\u003c/p\u003e\n","date_published":"2021-08-09T17:06:00+03:00","image":"https://ajulu.netlify.app/images/watch1.jpg","tags":["fashion","lifestyle","watches"]},{"id":"https://ajulu.netlify.app/posts/resetting-my-wardrobe/","url":"https://ajulu.netlify.app/posts/resetting-my-wardrobe/","title":"Resetting My Wardrobe","summary":"I recently took a good look into my wardrobe and what I realized was eye-opening.\nMany times we keep old torn clothes and there are some clothes we rarely wear.
