[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That original thread was about women who wear obvious status symbols — designer bags and belts and jewelry that “if you know you know” and is meant to exhibit a certain amount of wealth and status.

I don’t hate those types but feel sorry for them. They obviously feel like they need to prove something to someone by wearing something that is recognizable as wealthy. Even worse are those who buy those things off somewhere like dhgate… (there’s a whole thing on TikTok right now about two sisters who were bragging about all the designer stuff they got for Christmas being called out for it being fake). What exactly are the trying to prove and to whom? Why are they wasting their money on that crap? [/quote]

It’s a pretty bad sign to know about that though isn’t it[/quote]

DP but the whole point of this stuff is that it's easy for anyone to know about it. I've never owned a Neverfull or a Tiffany love bracelet but I've just kind of absorbed what they are by osmosis. Just like 20 years ago I'd never owned a pair of Tory Burch flats or a Coach bag or a pair of 7 for all Mankind jeans, but I could recognize any of them on sight because they were so ubiquitous.

Even my mom, who has never owned designer anything and thinks it's all a waste of money (she can afford it and then some, she just doesn't care and wear Lands End and clothes from Target mostly) knows what some of the more well known branded items are.

[b]The whole point of wearing this stuff is that everyone knows what it is, where it came from, and how much it cost.[/b][/quote]

I disagree to a certain point. What if I simply find an item appealing so I want it because I like the way it looks?

For example, I love Aviator Nation sweats. They're stupid expensive but they're insanely comfortable and cute. I generally wear them around the house so it's not like I'm trying to make a statement in my expensive sweats at the store or something, but I didn't buy them so that people would recognize the brand, although they're very easily identifiable.[/quote]

THis isn't about one or two items...it's about a head to toe "look." [/quote]

That's fair I guess. But if I see a woman and I think she looks really good, I might want to copy her look without understanding that her Golden Goose tennis shoes are a hot ticket item to some people. I have definitely seen women before who I thought looked amazing and I would have copied their look head to toe whether it cost $50 or $5000. In other words, I liked how it looked without knowing how much it costs or what the brands were. [/quote]
