What did Polly wear?… Polyvore Vintage Chanel

What Goes Around Comes Around revealed their new Vintage Chanel collection this past week (check out HL coverage). Inspired by some double C’s, I constructed a few collages based on vintage Chanel handbags on this amazing site Polyvore.com.  Here are a few of the looks I came up with (as well as the one above).
