Oh, how I love Chanel…

If you were to ask me, “What is your favorite designer label?” I would proclaim, in a sing-songy voice, “Chanel!” In a previous post, I mentioned that I owned a couple of Chanel bags and a wallet. I rarely use them simply because I wouldn’t be able to stand myself if I brought on early “wear and tear” to them. So they sit bagged and boxed up in my closet. I have a couple of vintage Chanel hair accessories, a.k.a. ponytail holders, which I purchased at antique stores. But my most recent Chanel acquisition sent my heart racing. On January 14th, […]

This blue and white striped boat-neck mini dress was a great find at the Goodwill in Kitty Hawk, NC. It is from the GAP and was $4.59! It is so comfortable and I’ve worn it several times since I brought it home a couple of weeks ago!
