Old Fashioned Chanel Bags


An item I've been using lately for this year have been the old fashioned chanel bags. Ever since I saw Whitney Port using them I was like: I need one of those! And no it wasn't because she was using it, I just saw the purse and I really liked it. However, since I don't have the money to buy such an expensive brand, I decided to check my mom's closet to try and find if she has something similar. And, voila, I found the exact same bag, creamed colored, and with no sign of chanel. I was so happy !

The good thing about this bag is that it makes you look professional and classy. That's if you want to look preppy. I used this purse wearing some Pacsun blue skinny jeans, white tank top, black cardigan with designs, and some mustard yellow flats. It sort of resembled the fashion from "Pretty in Pink"; the preppy look from the rich kids. But let me tell you one thing, I'm so far from rich.

Now, if you don't want that look, you can always mix it up with something else. Just because its a very fancy purse, it doesn't mean you can't wear it with something tough. So, if your going out to the movies or to the mall or any other place where you don't have to dress fancy, you can use this bag wearing some look-alike-guy clothes. What I mean is that if your wearing a pair of jeans with a complicated shirt and a leather jacket, you can totally make yourself look a bit more lady like with this bag.

Either way, what I'm trying to tell you is that don't be afraid of trying something new and different. Go out and explore! Create new looks on your own. If you see a look that you like, don't just wear the same look. Take the idea and then mix it with something else that you like; mix it with yourself!

Thank you for reading (whoever is out there reading this),

Lots of love,

Gil

Ah, I LOVE those bags so much. It's the top of my 'most-wanted' list of fashion items- along with a Burberry trench, Christian Louboutins and Agent Provocateur lingerie.

And I agree. It's so versatile, timeless and classy. Can be used for any occasion.
