Chanel Couture, re-done

As a fashion enthusiast, I was eager to see the roundups from the recent F/W couture runway shows here in Paris.  Almost without exception, I love the Chanel collections.  Besides being elegant and beautifully done, Chanel often includes Byzantine references, of which I’m a HUGE FAN.

This season’s Chanel show was lovely, but I was very disappointed by the lack of jewelry.  So I decided that I would accessorize the looks myself, using my personal jewelry collection.  Here’s how I would wear it:

And my favorite look from the show:
