Not long ago, I received an interesting question from a member. She asked:

‘I bought a Chanel bag two weeks ago and took it to work the next day. I was very happy and never expected any consequences. But I was feeling awkward because my colleagues were behaving weird. It’s like they were jealous or something. So I left it at home since then. What do you think?’

I think a lot of people have the similar experience. But I do not think that you should feel awkward at all. You deserve the Chanel bag, because you have worked hard for it. Your colleagues has the equal opportunity to treat themselves a nice bag, but they might decide to save it in their bank or spend it all on holidays. That’s their decision, they don’t hear you complaining right? And spending 2 weeks in a 4 to 5 star hotels is considered a luxury.

By the way, a Chanel bag is a better investment than going on vacation. At least the values go up and not down.
Boys love expensive, fast cars and love to flaunt them. Why can’t we love handbags and be a bit braggy from time to time.

But if you don’t feel comfortable bringing your Chanel bag to work, then leave it home. But do not me scared to take it to work whenever you feel you want to. They will never understand our lust for handbags.

I have a friend who felt awkward to carry Chanel bag around friends, because they were less fortunate. She is not a bitch or a cocky girl, but she just love luxury and she can afford it. So whenever they go shopping, she just has to visit Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Celine and Hermes. Everyone has different life style and mindset. It’s okay to walk with Chanel bags, you don’t need to feel awkward at all.

And if it still bother you, then choose another everyday bag. Marc Jacobs is less expensive and they look great too. Mix your handbags up to match the situation your are in.

More, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Burberry handbags are also very common nowadays. I see everyone carrying them. I love the speedy and neverful. I think it’s okay to carry one with friends who don’t buy luxury goods. But Chanel… Everyone knows that their bags cost at least $3,000 and Hermes bag prices are jumping over the roof.

Any girls have the same experience?
