Blake Lively and Chanel Pink Caviar Classic Flap

When news of Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio first hit cyberworld (around May of this year), I remember seeing the pictures of Blake and thinking "man, she makes me want to wear my pink m/l classic flap all summer long!"  Blake paired it perfectly with a white shirtdress and tied [what looks like] a green paisley scarf on the chains.  The pink adds a soft, feminine touch to her crisp white dress, wearing it with one strap gives off a more casual-feel instead of wearing it double-strapped, and the pop of green really brings out the color of the purse.  Seriously though, her outfit complete with the bag, is what I would consider part of a go-to summer wear.

Now you can get your hands on the bag to recreate Blake's outfit!  Because...

... After much deliberation, I decided to sell my Chanel pink classic flap as it deserves to be used instead of resting pretty in its dustbag and box. You are not limited to wearing this like how Blake wore her's - this would also be stunning paired with spring pastels and summer brights.  And the beauty of m/l flaps?  The versatility they offer!  For a springtime wedding/date, wear it double strapped either on your shoulder or as a clutch with the chains dangling on the front of your hands.  For a casual summer stroll, wear it single-strapped (could be cross-body if you are petite).

If you're interested, please check out the full listing I have for it on Bonanza here.  As always, if you have any questions or comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Thank you :)
