Fake Chanel Tweed Jacket

In this world of fashion, we women are pressed to look our very best.  In addition, I give you all credit, because we do…  We can find whatever we want, whether it is original or not.   If price is the issue, and let us say, you dream about having at least, one piece of the Chanel Original or Chanel Boutique Collection.  However, that one piece has a price so far outside of your realm of reality, you have but one choice:  to find a replica or knock off.  For instance, an Original Chanel Tweed Jacket can range in prices that would be the average girl’s, entire paycheck.  However, a fake Chanel Tweed Jacket can cost less than a couple of hundred bucks.

The Chanel Tweed Jacket is so popular; the fake Chanel tweed jacket has an entry in the fashion dictionary.  It is called, faux-nel.  Pronounced (Fo – nel).

This epidemic has spread to all corners of the earth.  I wonder what the folks at Chanel think about this.  Fake Chanel tweed jackets are sold in specialty stores in Manhattan, Paris, London, and just about any major city.  These specialty shops cater to women who feel the need to live out the “dream”.  If one day, life blesses them with the means to buy from the designer directly, and those days of scrapping pennies together just to ‘look’ like they had it going on, would be over.  You would not even recognize those same women.

It is funny to think of the ways we have let our clothing define us.  We used to define ourselves by our love for our families, neighbors and community.  We banded together for one cause, unity.  In addition, I am old enough to remember.  We fought society when they tried to dictate to us on how we should be.  Those days are long gone.  These days we primp and prep for hours in the mirror, never really fully satisfied.  I guess that is why those fake Chanel Tweed Jackets are so popular.

Not to worry ladies, we are great masters of disguise.  If you want to wear an Original Chanel or a fake Chanel, no one cares.  Other people are too busy worried if you approve of their look.  The only way one would know the difference, is if you let them scrutinize your outfit hands-on.  Friends can be our worse critics.  We think they understand our dilemma, when in fact; they are going through the same thought process.  If it is not good enough for them, and it is not for us, what happens if she gets there before I do?  How many would honestly admit they have thought it at one time or another?

It is simple human nature to have desires, and our female instinct has been driven to heights unmeasured by those before us.  Who knows what we will evolve too, but it will be interesting, to say the least.
