[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok,
Seems like thread only talks about moms?

We are a wealthy family.  High 7 figure income.

My wife wears many of the items you mention here on a daily basis to her DC based political job. It’s just part of her normal every day look. Cartier bracelets, Van Cleef necklace or so, some  sort of Gucci shoes and maybe even an Chanel/Dior bag among other stuff.

So when we went to open houses, this is “normal” everyday clothing for her. It is not special and she is not trying any harder than any other day of her normal life.   What she is wearing is basically a blouse and maybe designer jeans.

What “we” saw as annoying was women dressed up like they were going to a gala. High heels, fancy dress, and of course a full face of a makeup, eyeliner like they were going to a fancy Xmas party.  And what’s worse is when you see a women with a full face of heavy makeup on a Saturday morning tour.

Also, the truly rich people, more so than us, are probably the ones wearing Nike sneakers and nothing designer at all. Or possible wearing something high style that is unbranded from the outside that may be worth 10k and you would never know it by liking. But the wealthy “in” crowd can figure what you are wearing.

Kid if like truly wealthy people would never buy a LV bag with LV all over it like college teens do to show off they have a LV bag, they would buy some designer bag with no outside branding worth 15k.

When she gets really dressed I[/quote]

And she has the 20k bags, 30k plus Cartier/Van Cleef/ other designers you have  heard of jewelry that she never wears except some formal event of some sort.  All the stuff mentioned above she wears routinely is her basic “cheap” stuff[/quote]
