Small, Medium or Large

I don’t know what you’ll all be doing on September 13, but I’ll be the crazy one running through Target sweeping anything Missoni into my shopping cart. Get out of my way, people!! Cannot wait for this collaboration to get on the road!

There are about 88 looks out of 400 (!) at this link. Is it crazy that I want those zigzag shorts to wear while riding the Missoni bike and then come home and nap inside the cool wavy blanket? Umbrellas! Laptop covers! Dishes! I may need a Valium the night before to calm myself down.  Or, I could wait to take it the day after while drinking from my Missoni glass!

But today’s post is really about the Chanel “reissue” flaps. A dear reader had asked for comparisons on the various sizes of my 2.55 collection while she’s debating which size suits her best. And to tell the truth, I love them all, small, medium, or large.

They all serve different functions, depending on how much I need to carry with me and what time of the day I’m using the bag. Even with the small (black) one that’s my most recent buy, I can fit a small wallet, phone, keycase, and lipgloss. With the large size, I could also fit my eyeglasses and flat makeup case. BTW, did you see the Missoni makeup bags at that link above? I die!

So dear reader, I’m afraid I can’t really help you decide which size is best for you, because as you can see, I once posed the same questions before I bought my first 2.55 flap. It turned out to be the medium (226) size, but the real answer is that I ended up saving up my cents to come back for the other sizes.

And the real sad truth is that the XS size is still calling my name. I’m not quite done yet.
