What do you think of women dripping in designer items?

I think this is really cultural so I would just assume they might an immigrant or from New Jersey. with no shade, but that’s what I would think.

All of that mattered a lot less than the fact that one of the toddlers wouldn’t wear his sneakers, so they SET HIS SHOES DOWN ON THE TABLE, decided to move to a different table, took a table decoration with them, and then put the shoes in the decoration to entertain the kid…and then put them back on the surface of the new table. Brand names can’t cancel out this kind of upbringing!

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.

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.

Not akin to the Gap.

Same. You don’t see overt labels in many upperclass circles, at least not the country club or private school sets. Sure, you may see some labels, but dripping in them would be considered in very poor taste.

I’m the quoted pp and I wouldn’t consider it to be in poor taste at all, I would just consider it to be important to them because of some cultural norm.

Last time I was in Gucci in Tysons, there were families hanging in the chairs and the entire store smelled like weed. I love Gucci and other designer shops, but many customers at all these places have more money than class these days. Or not money but lots of credit card debt perhaps.

What? Yes you do. Not actual labels but lots of obvious designer stuff very common.

That is so untrue. A lot of extremely wealthy women are dripping in labels and designer branded jewellery. Most jewellery is so cheap now - eg, a big diamond is no longer a sign of wealth because of how they are now made. But these designer brands are expensive and as a result are an indicator.

I wouldn't assume anything except that they obviously like expensive branded clothing enough to buy and wear a lot of it. I would probably assume that they own a lot of designer items and prefer conspicuous clothing, but I wouldn't read too deeply into why that might be, where they are from, if they are "old money" or "new money" or deep in credit card debt, etc etc. i certainly wouldn't assume their clothing choices had anything to do with myself or other people.

I would think they care a lot about trying to impress other people

If you have it, why not wear it?

Maybe they "temporarily" purchase the items -- I walk the Galleria some days and see a lot of people retiring items.
