Chanel or Charlotte?

Chanel is one of the most well known and classic brands known in fashion. Founded in Paris, France, Chanel has been around since 1909 and was founded by the late COCO Chanel. These classic and glamorous designer clothing and accessory items are timeless and unfortunately VERY expensive. Specializing in clothing, shoes, handbags, makeup and perfumes, Chanel is one of our favorite looks to recreate. This look can be worn by pretty much anyone because it is so classic and classy.

Charlotte Rouse, known for reasonable prices and great deals for teens and women, can help any fashionista recreate a Chanel look for less... way less. The way that Charlotte Rouse describes this look is "Society Glam" which in our opinion is the perfect term. Chanel is known to be worn by the high society and is very glamorous but that doesn't mean that a girl on the budget can't get the look as well!










Shown here is a jacket and bag from Chanel, this is of course gorgeous and breath taking but the price is something that will really take your breath away. A jacket like this from Chanel will cost you around $4710. Not a price that most people are willing to spend on one piece. As amazing as it is, how many times and how careful would you need to be with one designer jacket. Also shown here is a Chanel bag. This cute and classic purse is something that goes with everything even if your wearing a trash bag. These simple vintage handbags will never go out of style but still, the price is something that will knock your socks off. Chanel handbags run from $200-$20.000.










No worries though, we have found a way to recreate these Chanel looks for under 100 bucks with jackets, handbags, and even jewelery! Check out these pieces from Charlotte Rouse that will have you feeling like a high society classic Chanel chick. These pieces range from $10.50 to $36.50.

Enjoy creating a look that works for you. Just remember to stay fabulously faux,
