Are the watches a no no for anyone over the age of 21? I have a hankering but don't want to splash the cash if I'm going to look like I'm trying too hard.

I think they're pretty and fun. I don't care if they look young- it's hardly a revealing leopard print top is it? And I'm frumpy 40s.

chanie44 · 19/06/2015 13:59

My mum is nearly 60 and has one .

AMcoffeeLover · 19/06/2015 14:22

If you like it, have it! Smile

I have one and love it. I did not buy it because it was Michael Kors but because i wanted a rose gold watch and the MK one was the perfect colour, not too flashy. I am 40 and I am in no way what so ever in to named goods.

YoniMitchell · 19/06/2015 16:39

I have one and am certainly not 21!

acatcalledjohn · 19/06/2015 16:41

I'm 30 and have one. I have a silver coloured one without any blingy stones, as I cannot stand blingy things.

I like Marc Jacobs ones better, similar style but possibly less 'obvious' if you're worried about looking try-hard.

Tacky!! Shock
That was my concern, but my 2 year old requested gnocchi for his tea tonight so I'm surely just eccentric MC?!!

Ha! Sorry, yes, tacky IMO.... That's why I don't wear my MK watches. Nut most MK's items are tacky (bags etc)

bluejam · 19/06/2015 22:25

I agree on tacky sorry! Marc Jacobs ones are nice though

Shinyshoes2 · 19/06/2015 22:28

I have one in Rose Gold bought for me for my for my 40th
I love it and get loads of compliments

Saurus72 · 19/06/2015 22:56

If you like the bag, buy the bag!
My thought on them is that they look like someone wanted a 'designer bag' (any will do) and bought a Michael Kors one as it wasn't too expensive as far as a 'designer bag' goes. I've seen loads in the sales, so you should be able to get a bargain.

Helpful Saurus - especially as we are taking about watches.

Thanks for the sale link - the tacky, try-hard, don't care what it looks like I just want a designer bag, watch that I want isn't in the sale Grin

I love mine it's a plain gold one and doesn't stand out or look to much and I'm not 21 unfortunately
