It's About Time

By Charlotte on May 20, 2011 10:10 AM

Our one-and-only-son Cole doesn't own a watch. He's 24 and shuns jewelry of any kind, preferring to check the time on his cell.

 

That's not for baby boomers like me. Quite the opposite, I'm lost without my trustworthy timepiece. It's the first accessory I put on; though never the last. I love layering so the more the merrier!

 

I usually reach for my two-toned Michael Kors wristwatch without even thinking. It's an easy choice because it goes with either gold or silver. But when the folks at RumbaTime showed me their trendy, silicone watches, I knew I was in a rut.

RumbaTime's Lafayette Collection

 

"Why not go for some fun?" I thought eyeing the look-at-me colors in RumbaTime's Original, digital-faced and more traditional Lafayette collections:

·         Lemon Drop Yellow

·         Snow Patrol White

·         Big Apple Red

·         Cotton Candy Pink

·         Lights Out Black

·         Double Dare Acid Green

·         Denim

 

I wanted them all, especially that Lemon Drop (yellow is my favorite color). But I settled on the Snow Patrol Lafayette since white is super hot this summer and it goes with everything.

 

Slipping on the clasp-less style, I realized I was in for a treat. The Lafayette fit me like a bracelet ... great alone; even better stacked with bangles or other RumbaTimes. Bonus! These little pieces of arm candy are ultra-light and affordable (the Original $20; the Lafayette $35) so you can easily go for multiples. 

 

My Snow Patrol adds a pop of color that's great whether I'm working out with my Wii Fit, blogging away or running around town. It's so fun I've decided that, as Nicolette Larson first sang in 1978, I just might be a Rhumba Girl after all.

 

Water-resistant to 99 feet, RumbaTime watches are also perfect for anyone who enjoys water sports. The Original series features a cool press-on light for checking the time underwater or, in my case, during a classic movie fest.

RumbaTime's Original Collection

 

The six-inch small fits some women and children while the seven-inch medium works for most women and men and the eight-inch large suits some men.
