[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think women dress like this to signal style and sophistication. They dress like this to signal something; in upper middle class suburbia a lot of safe boring moms adhere to these particular labels and items to visual communicate that they are a. well to do b. aware of the trends and c. fit in.

This look says I am rich and have the disposable income to buy a few select designer items. I am not middle class, I am above middle class. The lulus say, a. I am fit  and have the resources and time to devote to my thinness and b. I am rich so I don't mind spending $120 on luxury workout wear. The expensive processed hair says I am rich enough to afford maintenance of this type of hair.

This look does not signal style or taste; it an attempt at signaling wealth in UMC suburbia[/quote]

Bingo. It's all about this. 
If you have a gay male friend you'll get the unvarnished truth. A coworker said to me "I can tell by the way you talk that you grew up with money, [b]but I can tell by the way you dress that you don't have any now. You wear cheap shoes and no jewelry[/b]." WOW THANKS![/quote]

Ha! I grew up rich and am rich now. However, I’m not that materialistic and although I like relatively nice things, it’s to a point. I buy Lululemon and highlight my hair because I like the way Lululemon clothes look and they’re comfortable, and I like the way my hair looks highlighted. One of the earlier posters hit the nail on the head when they basically said some women do these things because they are easy. Yes I’m sure if I spend hours researching different brandsand clothing items I could buy more original clothes that I would like just as much, but who has the time? I spend five minutes and buy a bunch of stuff online from Lululemon and that’s that. I am not an artsy person nor into fashion, and the idea of looking “unique” doesn’t really have a meaning to me. I’m not trying to fit in by wearing LL, but everyone has to wear clothes so…

Yes I have the time and money to stay in shape and be healthy. I do not work out to prove to people that I have the time and money to do it. Isn’t being healthy a good thing? Both of my parents had cancer in their early 50s and I am 50 now. Staying healthy is not all about vanity.

I have some cheap shoes and some mid price shoes. I don’t usually buy expensive shoes because… I don’t know I just don’t. I don’t wear jewelry because I don’t like the way it feels, probably a sensory thing. Do you think people look at me and think I am poor?

No way am I doing these things to convince people I’m rich.  But I am rich. It is what it is. Not everyone bases their actions on what other people think. Some people just do what they want.  [/quote]
