I have another one--the classic Chanel double flap bag, which I'll post a photo of with some more photos soon. I bought it in 2004--I could sell it for double what I paid for it now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-weird-weather-chanel-bag-dinosaurs#post-2037731 Sun, 23 Jun 2019 14:27:23 +0000 JAileen 2037731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m glad you’re using your beautiful bag.

Hotdogs taste better.</p> <p>I am in love with your purse. Is it a double flap?

Right Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-weird-weather-chanel-bag-dinosaurs#post-2037377 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 01:23:20 +0000 MsMaven 2037377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for the positive feedback on the Chanel bag. I've always associated it with being dressed "properly" and it is great to learn that it works well with casual clothes, especially when I rarely do get dressed up. We're going to the Ritz Carlton to celebrate our anniversary this weekend, which is usually the type of place and event I do get dressed up for. Everyone is so casual these days.</p> <p>Angie: The family is spread out in age--the younger kids were born when DH was in high school--they were adopted at birth. We married in 1965, #2 in 1984, and #3 in 1991. We stayed in California and eventually moved to the SF Bay area. The rest of the family moved to Utah in the late 1970s and we don't usually see each other that often.</p> <p>My mother-in-law sometimes was confused when she got a phone call--exactly which one of us was she talking to? We just call each other by our first name and initial of maiden name.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-weird-weather-chanel-bag-dinosaurs#post-2037373 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 00:26:31 +0000 Anonymous 2037373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes whoever that bone came from I'm glad he's not roaming my neighborhood!

If not now - when? WEAR THEM! Beautiful bag and suits you perfectly. </p> <p>How on earth did three brothers marry three women with the same name! Uncanny. How do you refer to each other? </p> <p>The J. Crew cardi looks great in this size. You look fab too. Your white jeans outfit is my fave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-weird-weather-chanel-bag-dinosaurs#post-2037320 Fri, 21 Jun 2019 21:59:38 +0000 Mainelady 2037320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you found a way to stay warm and have fun.

What a stellar bag you have there. I'm so glad you have it in rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-weird-weather-chanel-bag-dinosaurs#post-2037278 Fri, 21 Jun 2019 19:51:39 +0000 missvee 2037278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great photos, and great bag! Yes to using it as much as you like. My life is very casual but I pull mine out whenever the mood strikes. Most of my friends aren’t fashionistas anyway so it rarely draws a comment. That’s fine with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-weird-weather-chanel-bag-dinosaurs#post-2037276 Fri, 21 Jun 2019 19:43:41 +0000 MsMaven 2037276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We've been back over a week now and most of my photos are of scenery or other people. A few days before we left our cold rainy weather moved to Salt Lake, where we were to attend a history conference. Last minute changes. Two months ago my BIL suffered 2 major strokes. My SIL had planned a family reunion for DH's family and decided to go ahead. BIL is now in a rehab center, we saw him three days apart and he is making good progress. We hung around a day with family, then went to Vernal and Dinosaur National Monument--never been there and always wanted to see it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I very intense trip with last minute adjustments. I took my navy patterned Boden jacket, but after freezing all day in the conference I exchanged it for the J Crew long cotton cardigan. I had bought a small, but looking at photos, I might have done better with an extra small.</p> <p>Lately I've wanted to use some of my nicer jewelry and Chanel bags, but not just to take them to the vet or grocery store. So I took my navy bag brought in 2915. Well, in a hotel meeting room the chairs are narrow and there is no place to hang or put the bag.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, I'm getting closer to the end of my life, and if I don't use these nice things someone else will inherit them. I'm trying to remember to use the fine china at least once a week.&nbsp;</p> <p>Of my in-laws, one one, my fashion designer SIL, was there to appreciate it. I caught her running her fingers over the surface--and I admit it is smooth and sensual to touch.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then off to spend 2 days in Vernal, where I took my bag--who says dinosaurs didn't have good taste? I ended up wearing the same purple BR cotton sweater and T. Bahama jacket for 3 days. Best laid plans. I did wear different jeans the last day. I'd brought white NYDJ and wanted not to waste my effort, but then discovered my last clean pair of undies were the bright pink ones. I tried it out and DH swore he couldn't see a trace of bright salmon through the pants. They are Marilyns and are heavy.</p> <p>Here we go:</p> <p>#1 three brothers married three women with the same first name. I'm the first though, the original #1. We always have a photo together--I meant to look for the first photo of our group--maybe later. Great turnout at the reunion, DH spoke on family history. Lots and lots of kids running around.</p> <p>## 2-3 at Utah State Dinosaur museum in Vernal, Utah.&nbsp;</p> <p>## 4-7 at the Monument museum. What is this bone? And the tipped up wall of bones from a dig. Only souvenir--these socks. Very comfy and the purple exactly matches my purple BR top.</p> <p>#8 My navy Chanel bag. More useful than the original classic which is too small for my iPhone and everything else.&nbsp;</p>
