[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone with money, new or old, cares about looking like a WASP.  Why can’t this DCUM accept this? [/quote]

It’s about looking tasteful and like you have class- not looking like a WASP. Gobs of makeup and big hair and seductive clothing can be unattractive to others and appear to be distasteful. That’s what OP is talking about I believe. [/quote]

OP said nothing about gobs of makeup or big hair. She said they’re wearing tons of expensive jewelry and labels. Which is against WASP code and offensive to OP. They like what they have on and if OP is comfortable with what she has on then live and let live. [/quote]

No but the few I think of that stand out in a negative way have tons of makeup and big hair and wear very flashy clothing so yes they do look silly to me and to others. The expensive jewelry and clothing is nothing new to me but where I am from everyone has expensive jewelry but no one wears name tags or any items with the brand or logo showing. You know it is expensive because you have seen it yourself. Couture suits and dresses but no name tags. They don’t wear trendy jewelry that all would know. They may purchase diamond studs from Tiffany’s but it does not have Tiffany’s splashed across them. So expensive clothing but very fashionable and classic looking. Not looking like they just invaded the kardashians closet. [/quote]
