What do you think of women dripping in designer items?

Lululemon and Vineyard Vines are hardly designer brands. They have outlets! I’m not impressed with your outrage over putting toddler shoes on the table either. It wasn’t Ruth’s Chris on NYE.

⬆️This.

It’s not personal.

I'm obsessed with hair but nobody gets monthly highlights. Even if you have gray, you do monthly color on roots and highlights every few months.

OP is so jealous.
Some people aren't poor just because they stop working.

I have trouble respecting that. It's just trying too hard, and I thought obvious designer labels were totally out now. What I respect is if someone's outfit looks awesome on them, regardless of who made it or where it came from.

Yeah, that whole post is likely trolling -- nobody gets monthly highlights. Unless maybe you are on a tv show or something.

A lot of disposable income. Very insecure.

They are definitely not "designer." But they are relatively expensive, especially for kids. Especially Vineyard Vines. Very preppy. Show me a family in Vineyard Vines and show me a family in Gucci and I'm going to guess the one in Vineyard Vines has more money.

No, Vineyard Vines is a mall brand nowadays. They're everywhere! I don't think wealth at all when I see someone in VV - it's akin to the Gap.

Yes, but that doesn't mean beat-up cars and old clothes - more like Loro Piana, Bottega Veneta, and custom or estate jewelry.

And also not all wealth even "whispers" like that! I know plenty of rich people - including family members - who are head to toe designer stuff with logos. It's what they like.

Vineyard Vines, especially for kids, is SUPER cheap and all over the resale markets. Like 5-8 bucks an item.

I also don’t think anyone who can’t be bothered would ever type out the brands of their whole outfit like this, that’s kind of nutty.
