[quote=Anonymous]I realize this is a pretty puerile issue to even consider but here we are. My SIL has always been the jealous competitive type. She triggers me and brings out MY jealous competitive side as well. She considers herself as the harbinger of taste and style and looks down on everyone except few select wealthy people who she tries to emulate.

I do not mean to brag but I am no Lula Mae or what have you. I am pretty well cultured and traveled and come from an upper class European family. Most of these things she aspires to were sort of all ways in abundance around me so I never paid particular attention to them. I was raised to always be polite and considerate. I am well dressed and put together. I know how to do my hair and makeup. She grew up tomboy and did not know 2 things about how to style herself. Which was fine and I never cared except she was a mean girl to me and put me down always.

She is now married to a rich guy and has resources to undergo a transformation of sorts. Bye bye tom boy, hello socialite. Everything she wears is designer and carefully curated. Her house is being done by interior decorators and she gets all sorts of skincare treatments.

My husband and I do ok but I would not feel comfortable with the casual display of wealth she and her husband are into.

Anyway, as silly as it is, now I feel jealous and like an outsider and am envious of her vast resources. I too, have good taste, you know. I just can't afford to always splurge! [/quote]
