[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn't really sound like she's "dripping in designer items" from your description. Women who own the Cartier love bracelets usually have them on all the time, because they're locked on with a screw. Van Cleef earrings and Tiffany necklaces can be pretty discreet, as are Ferragamo belts. Goyard tote bags are honestly workhorse bags. I have one and use it all the time. I would describe myself as a pretty low-key person.[/quote]
This! All the PPs on here declaring “nouveau-riche tacky low-class!” are trying way, waaay too hard and doing the exact same thing as the head-to-toe LV people…basically trying to visually align themselves with a super-rich class they wish they could claim membership to. Sure, some wealthy people drive inexpensive cars and wear cheap clothes, but that’s not universal. In our family there’s the one in tech who must have every new gadget….the one that only drives one model of “nice” car….the one who does wear literally 50-yr old clothes, but it’s all custom-made and in excellent condition….the one who wears chunky costume jewelry….people in off-the-rack raincoats with recognizable linings, ”designer” field boots, barn jackets….whatever! Some don’t have careers, others have hustled to make their own (new!) money, some are thrifty, some are not. Some even work in fields that according to DCUM should only be reserved for “strivers”! The truth is that while there aren’t a lot of letter logos to be seen, if you grow up surrounded by good quality things, the cheap stuff looks and feels bad so you don’t want it. But you're also not going to spend time ferreting out the least-known leather-goods company with the best cost-performance to save a few hundred dollars and boast online about how you’re therefore morally superior. The thought process is closer to: “It’s a belt, ->I need a new one -> this one looks nice.” It can have a ferragamo or—god-forbid—an H-buckle…..seriously nobody cares[/quote]
