Visited Fashionphile two days ago auditioning a Beige Caviar & Silver WOC for an upcoming wedding trip. An "Excellent" preloved was $3730. I didn't bite thank goodness :/ Went to Nordstrom yesterday looking for shoes, and walked out of the Chanel boutique with a brand new one for $3300! I am tickled pink as this was my first brand new purchase - the other 21 Chanel bags I have are excellent preloved. I have to admit I pranced around the Mall the rest of the day with that little shopping bag, box, 

ribbon & Camelia with such a sense of glee
I don't take anything for granted as I grew up pretty poor, but in that moment I really felt like "I made it." Whoever says money can't buy happiness never had a Chanel! I'm loving all of her little compartments, and the SA showed me three ways to style her chain from a shoulder length to a clutch! So versatile! This morning I paired her up with her "Mama" a Grand Shopping tote in the same beige caviar. I think it's neat that she'll function during the day but also as an evening bag. Woot woot!!!
