Because one pretty watch is never enough.
Regular readers of Milk Tea (should I say regular drinkers?) will be able to guess where this came from.
Like the Queen of Hearts watch and the horror-kei ring, floral number comes from that same Aladdin's cave.
The concept of this watch is simply amazing.
It's made from a piece of elastic band with embroidered ribbon ruffled around it.
The timepiece is simply sewn on the top
.
The elastic makes it nice and stretchy, so it can fit on any wrist size.
It's so simple that I think it could easily be made at home.
Elastic and ribbon are easily found in a haberdashery and I can remember seeing watch faces in my local bead shop back home.
There are so many talented bloggers out there that I really wanted to share this.
Is anyone willing to attempt one?
I paid about 1000 yen for it, quite reasonable.
This is the kind of accessory that goes with nothing, yet goes with everything.
I have been wearing it to work and it's perfect for adding some fun to a more serious outfit.
Get your sewing needles out girls!
