Day 43 – Label Whorish? – 37th Year Photo/Moi Challenge

—

I love vintage old things. A great vintage sun dress from a thrift store is what I seek out for when I’m clothing shopping. I love the classic a line feel of a lot of those dresses.

I have another side too. I love Chanel Gardenia perfume, Prada ballet flats, Marc Jacobs/Goyard bags as well.

I’ve been called a Label Whore. Let it be known I may be. What is wrong with liking nice things? It’s not like that’s all I buy. I feel I have a good balance with all I get.

My picture today is of my favorite perfume I wear most days Chanel Gardenia! Love this! Only found in the boutiques but I don’t care. It smells so clean and fresh and totally reminds me of something my moms mother would have worn in the 1940’s.

So there you have it as well. I seek things that have a vintage feel to me. If this perfume didn’t smell so good I would not get it. There are some perfumes by Chanel I think are just horrid. So it’s not the “brand” I’m buying its the smell. At least I tell myself that.

Today’s post reminds me I am very simple in so many ways but I do have a part of me that likes the finer things and I’m OK with who I am today.

    It’s so funny that you don’t like a lot of Chanel scents, but you do like this one. Originally, Coco Chanel didn’t think women should walk around smelling like hothouse flowers, so she made her first perfumes non-floral. It was a feminist thing. But women like feeling pretty. Gardenia is a very pretty smell–one of my mom’s favorites (although not specifically the Chanel variety).

      All the rest remind me of old women. Except Une Fleur which isn’t made anymore which is my FAVORITE of all scents, ever. I saw it on Amazon recently for $369 for 1.2 oz crazy!!!!!!
