Hello everyone, so sorry for not updating for long.  My daughter is very busy preparing for midterms next week and trying to keep up with her AP classes.  She comes home so late that I am taking the pictures in my home once again. 
So here is the story.  I was looking in my closet and realized I haven't carried my vintage?(old, from mid 90s) chanel bag and believe it or not, back in the days, I used to hate any logos on my body so I used to hate this huge logo on the bag.  I hated the logo so much, I used to carry it the other way to hide it and worse yet, took off the cute little tassel on the zipper.  I am so glad I didn't throw that part away and kept it in the bag.  I still remember like it happened yesterday, contemplating whether I should throw it away.  So crazy, right?  I took it in to get it refurbished and shined and paid $50.  I thought it was way too hefty of a price for reattaching and shinning it but I like the fininshed look and its a chanel bag, right?   By the way, I love Chanel now :)
I had a Chanel look in mind when I put this ensemble together to compliment my vintage(?) bag.   Of course, I lust after a Chanel jacket but it's way out of my budget and its staying in my wish-list.  This j crew cherie jacket is not how I thought when I first got it- I thought it would be a lot more sturdy and a tad bit shorter and my reaction wasn't too good when I put it on for the first time.  Maybe it was because I had a sweats on and was getting ready to sleep.  Strangely enough, my daughter loves it!  She said I look super-fab, which is rare from her.
