There’s the research that proves that Chanel is currently a better investment than the stock market (see, I knew what I was doing here), but that can also mean that Chanel prices can soar. I don’t know about you, but on every vintage shopping site, every consignment store trip, I see Chanel prices that are a big steep–making it out of reach for a lot of us. However, you can still find great deals–you have to search a bit, go to stores a bit, but the Chanel that you love? It’s out there for you.
I found a great deal on this vintage Chanel skirt at Garment Modern in Austin and feel in love! It has the great classic buttons, a classic shape, fantastic silk, and went with the shoes I had on! Also what I love, while the shape is classic, and can be styled classically, it can also be modern and a bit edgy. I will wear this with blouses and sweaters, but I love the unexpectedness of a bralette. That’s the amazing thing about a classic, it provides a base, you provide fresh ideas. I encourage you to play with your classics, try them with things you might not have thought would go together –you might surprise yourself, and get a great outfit!
Happy Monday! XO RA
