and it shines...twice

i went to wedding number 2 yesterday and was able to debut my golden deliciousness, the chanel gold metallic reissue. whoo hoo! twice i might add in the day. once for the church ceremony and then for the reception..whoo hoo, whoo hoo!

this is my outfit when i went to the church ceremony. i don't think it's hard to pair golden deliciousness up with an outfit as long as the outfit isn't too busy looking. i think this bag looks best against a solid colored background....or as solid as you can make it. the dress i'm wearing has tiny white polka dots (and yes, i love polka dots too. thanks for wondering). i think it looks great! :) *crickets*

here's a few things i noticed about the bag. it's "soft" in the sense that it lacks the stiff structure of a caviar bag and of course with this size, it holds a lot less. i had to squeeze a ton of stuff in and the bag "gave in" a little but still maintained it's shape. definitely can't carry as much as jumbolicious. it's also a head turner. whoo hoo! i saw you checking out my bag lady! kidding!

at the reception, i saw two other chanel sisters. both were older ladies (mid 40's and 50?). one carried a white gst with gold hardware and another rocked a small vintage lambskin flap. seriously, i thought this shallow thought: it is nice to be able to enjoy some nice things at this young age. ow! i continue to stick by my philosophy that some things in life, you shouldn't wait till later to enjoy. do it now! hahahaha....

please excuse the mess in the back. this is my "office" and i barely go in there except to take modeling pics. :) note to self: suck in stomache for future modeling debuts.

(calamari) wow, looks really good. i had my doubts about the gold, but you seem to pull it off well. what size is the bag? i have a 226 and yeah it is a lot softer then the caviar.

thanks girls! golden deliciousness is quite purty! it is a blingy bag for sure. what can i say, i am a gaudy old woman in the making.

calamari, i believe it's a 226. i think the 227 is slightly smaller than a jumbo so a 226 is about the size of a medium/large which looks just about the size of golden deliciousness. a 225 is suppose to be a tad bigger than an east west and more boxy. i tried looking at the tag, but there's no indicator of the size. let's take our reissues out for a spin the next time we hang calamari!
