2018 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

It works great! I think your bag would also look lovely with a forest green, deep eggplant or navy tones, too.

Thanks! Yeah this isn't a very neon or loud plum. Love it with black because of the dark gunmetal hardware.

Here she is - mini Cabat
it's in silver metallic finish - Peltro, and it works 100% for me, as i already have a bigger one in the same leather.

Very pretty!

My sparkly shoes today with my Bal Velo. Casual wear Friday! I would have preferred tight jeans but it’s too hot for that today and I really wanna wear the shoes.

So hard to force myself to wear zero color so my bag can be my pop of color.

I like this pop of color. Is that a massaccesi bag?

I've had 50/50 good and bad experiences buying preloved so lately it's been all new for me. However, I really want a Chanel medium flap or double flap in the future. I've been browsing Fashionphile and Yoogi's and see that I can save when buying preloved. But I've seen rumors here that people have gotten fakes from these sites before. I'd love to save but super scared to get a fake..

To me, Chanel is the easiest preloved bag to buy and know it’s authentic because there are so many great resources (as opposed to other brands).

As @catsinthebag said, both Fashionphile and Yoogi’s are very reliable. I would trust anything I bought from them.

That being said, I’m super suspicious. LOL! So I get my preloved bags authenticated twice. You can utilize the tpf authenticators for free.

For Chanel, I prefer to use Etinceler for bags 150000 series or older. https://etincelerauthentications.com/

Newer bags (and even some older) I send to Leather Surgeosn to authenticate in person (and even do a refresh).

Happy Hunting!
