Show me how you DRESS DOWN your Chanel!

[MHLee]

My Chanels go with me everywhere. Trust me, they can be as dressy or as casual as you want them to be. If you haven’t already, do have a peek in Your Chanels in Action thread. I’m sure you can find lots of inspiration there. Here are a few photos I’ve posted on here before. Do post some mod shots when yours arrive and enjoy your new Chanel babies!

You look beautiful! I do frequent that thread, but everyone is always dressed so nicely! Today I am wearing jeans and a tank top, and the tank top has palm trees on it and that is as dressy as it gets today! I live in jeans! Literally the only day this year I will be in a dress will be Saturday and that is because we are attending a wedding!

Hers one with my Jumbo- white jeans, low heels. I've been messing with the chain to see how I can wear it differently, since it is so long on me.

I never wear black pants or skirts, sadly. A hazard of my job (I work remote). You look awesome in both photos!

Pretty much my uniform in the winter! Sweater and jeans. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if I am just paranoid about wearing my fancy bags with normal clothes!

I’ve been trying to figure out how to pull off Chanel with runners! The closest I get are my white Air Force 1’s! Looks great!

Don't overthink it. Remember: it's just a bag and it needs to work with you.

I saw a ton of mothers with Chanels worn cross body and casual clothes when I was at a kids attraction yesterday. The shoes do make a difference, but otherwise they work fine with nice jeans and t-shirts/blouses from my view.

Thanks! I'm just under 5'6.
The tee is from Jcrew...I think last year. They have the best tee shirts!!

I know, but these bags (as silly as this is going to sound) have been a part of a rebirth. Our oldest is going to high school, middle is starting middle school and Little is starting primary.

Anyhow, my mini crisis has caused me to change a lot of things and focus more on myself. I wore a Mom Uniform for a long time, replete with diaper bags filled with wipes and cracker crumbs. Even though I work full-time, I still looked frumpy for a long time.

So I guess I’m learning how to dress my age, while taking care of myself better and still feeling good about myself while not doing anything too radical. In a way, my handbags are the catalyst for everything else, so building around them has been a natural progression.

Sorry for the story!
