Reporting that while I do wear this every week I only took the photos once. Because I have a day job, okay?

I don’t regret for a second the $40 Nike hoodie I thought I’d only wear for pajamas (hahaha) or the Isabel Marant hat in pretty royal blue that matches my purchase of a lifetime on TheRealReal. The Chanel bag was worn, I’m talking very worn. So worn that I got to use a 20% discount code on it, that’s how worn it was.

But you know what? I am resourceful.

I restored the hell out of the bag myself by buying leather moisturizer, blue dye, and basically taking it to just about every shoe repair shop in the Bay Area to reattach the CC clasps. Pro tip: Model Shoe Renew at Berkeley will solve all your Chanel bag problems and even order new screws and make sure they never fall off.
