[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the Burberry Brit belted and sorry but I don't agree that it's become a uniform.  The cashier (guy) at Fudruckers the other day, asked me if I was wearing a Burberry Brit and proceeded to tell me about his jacket (not quilted).  There's no exclusive club here as much as you'd like to think.  People that are willing to spend money on quality should not be assumed to be desperate label whores.

I don't get how it's not ok to make fun of low income people, wearing what they can afford from Walmart yet anyone with a salary that affords them to buy Burberry is fair game.  Double standard.  [/quote]

I know, right.  [b]It's like privileged should mean privilged to buy whatever what we want, no matter the cost, and not get picked on for it. [/b] It's totally the same making fun of me for overspending on hideous luxury items  as it is making fun of someone with no real choices for doing what they have to to keep themselves clothed and warm.

I've been on both ends of the spectrum and I've worked my ass off to get where I am.  If I want to buy a damn Burberry jacket I will.  Keep your condescending sarcasm to yourself Bitch.  I know what it's like to get handouts from the church and go hungry and be homeless.  Do you???   Yes, it is a double standard.  You are making assumptions about people solely based on their appearance.  How dare you judge me for the clothes on my back when you don't know my history.

Let's face it. Pretty much everyone makes judgments and assumptions about people based on appearances. When you see a guy walking down the street with his pants sagging down to his knees, you make an assumption. When you are interviewing a candidate for a job and their suit is wrinkled and unkempt, you make a judgment. When a woman walks down the street wearing a midriff-revealing tube top and a mini skirt with 5 inch heels, you make an assumption. It's human nature to make assumptions based on impressions of how people look.

Back to the quilted jackets, though. The look has become so ubiquitous among a certain group of people in this city that, while there are certainly people outside of this set who wear quilted jackets, there is definitely an impression that women in quilted jackets give off, whether fair or unfair. But nobody ever said that life is fair.[/quote]
