Purple, navy and a blast from the bordeaux past

zerodross, what were you thinking writing a post at 4 in the morning!! :nogood:

That said, congrats on scoring both 2.55s!!! The navy is a true beauty (just by looking at your pics)!! I like your meticulous colour/hardware analysis - reads a like a PhD thesis to me!

Are you sure you are going to skip Act II altogether? :graucho:
 
:P wowsers jen! you're fast in replying! thanks for the kind words, and y'know you have a stunning bag collection yourself, i still remember the hermes unveil with your drop dead gorgeous havanne birkin! :drool:

so quick that i missed the rest of your GORGEOUSSSSSSSS pics!! YUMMMM, i lovee the pics of the navy and purple together :drool: and thanks so much for all the size comparison pics. holy and the bordeaux, what a lucky find!! i stand by my original statement that you have the most TDF flap collection :love:
 
Thanks for the comparison pics! You have a lovely collection :smile: After settling on 225 size, I changed my mind and am trying to decide between 226 and 225 size yet again... >< I've only seen 226 size IRL, not 225, so I'm really unsure at this point. Would you mind posting modeling pics to give me another reference pt? TIA!
 
^ once again, thanks ladies! it's always a pleasure to share the chanel excitement with everyone on here.

LOL! you caught me... i'm a chronic insomniac and a student (the two are pretty similiar eh?) so my sleeping and waking hours are completely skewed. And yup! I am definitely skipping Act II.. well maybe not the accessories (some of them seem to cute to pass up on) but definitely no bags for me till pre-fall - what with the rose reissue and purple and gray classic flaps! :sweatdrop: What bags are you eyeing for Act II?

And congrats on your FABULOUS twin sisters! ;);) I can't wait to see your thread of the two and y'know I really do think a 226 red will come your way. :yes: definitely!

no problem! pictures coming right up! ;) To be honest, I think a 225 forces me to bring only the essentials (and you'd have to be pretty darn meticulous in trying to arrange and pack everything nicely in it) but I do generally have a preference for smaller bags, so it works well for me even as a day bag, although i think it's definitely more suited for an evening purse. 226 is a really comfortable and functional size IMO. I think colour plays a part too, I know for the purple, I was expecting it to be a real burst of colour and bling, so I opted for the 225 to balance the bling & colour whereas for the navy, since it was more subtle, i thought the 226 would be a practical everyday choice.
