Yeah.  My bedsheets are always matchy-matchy, pillowcases too, because our housekeeper does our beds.  I haven't made my bed iin 3 years.  I think I did two loads of laundry in 2014.  I work, don't throw stones.

If the sheets were left to me our beds would be an absolute wreck.

I wear my DH's cotton undershirts to go grocery shopping.  Funny to see women with cotton Coach bags look me up and down.  [/quote]
Coach bags made in cheap china? No thanks.[/quote]

I see so many intentional status symbols, the efforts spent to acquire them, and the effect they have on people, and the distress they cause.  But then, maybe not engaging in accumulating status symbols is a luxury I can afford, because 
my life has its fair share of unintentional ones, which I don't share with anyone IRL: 1} staff, 2) not really feeling excited over another trip to Paris, 3) a DH who only has eyes for me, toys held in LLC's, some select kitchen appliances because they interest me.

Anything out in public {strollers, clothes, cars) are solidly modest.[/quote]
