[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve attended a few open houses and tours lately. This is our first experience with DC private schools. Many of the other moms are wearing conspicuous designer items. I’ve seen more Chanel flats, Gucci bags, Van Cleef bracelets/necklaces, Hermes belts, and Cartier love bracelets in the past few weeks than I’ve ever seen in my life. Is this typical for these types of parents, or are they just dressing like this for the open houses to signal wealth and status? [/quote] I am wealthy and try to not wear anything with labels on them. [b]Old money preppy does not generally wear items with logos[/b] except some shoes like ferragmo and Chanel sometimes can’t be helped but honestly I try to find items that do not have logos. That goes for jewelry as well. [/quote] Except all the ones that do. Which DCUM does not approve of so pretends do not exist. And anyway neither VCA nor Cartier have “logos.”[/quote]
