Vintage Chanel Skirt from Peacock Parade

Peacock Parade is Canada's latest flash sale site.  Though it mostly features modern designers, especially those from Canada, they also do vintage.  They recently held a Chanel suits and separates event and I purchased one of the skirts, which you can read about at DelectablyChic!...

Vintage J.Crew (Circa 1996): Size 2

When I was 16 years old, I went to Chicago and purchased a gorgeous J.Crew skirt (above), which was, at the time, a bit too small for me (but the size up was too big - the salesperson recommended this size. Don't know why). Believe it or not, it was a size 2, the smallest size at J.Crew at the time. Fast forward 15 years, and the skirt is a much better fit (I lost about 5-8 lb and ab0ut 1 - 1 1/2" around my waist when I was in my early to mid-20s, thanks to moving downtown (and walking much more often) and giving up a daily dose of orange juice). At a size 2. That's right. 2 REGULAR. These days, I can barely wear 00P at J.Crew - even that can be too big. Talk about vanity sizing gone crazy...
