[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not about old money vs new money. It’s about style. A lot of moms wear very expensive items but can’t pull it off. It’s hard to explain but easy to spot. DC moms are just not known to be stylish. You can wear head to toe Gucci and buy all the things from net a porter but pulling it off without looking like an imposter is hard. Sit at a cafe in Tribeca. Observe the moms. There’s a confidence style vibe and the cathedral close ain’t it. [/quote] Just say flashy vs conservative. The whole "old money" vs "new money" is outdated and may be offensive to groups whose families historically couldn't obtain wealth due to societal blocks. [/quote] New money does not have to be tacky, showy, flashy, tasteless, or head-to-toe-label-whore-street-walker, is the point. [/quote]
