[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love being new money. First of all, I have the pride of having made myself out of absolutely nothing. Second, I’m not beholden to some weird WASP austerity. I buy whatever I like, and I like plenty of stuff you all think is tacky. But I’m incredibly disinterested in what the moms at my kids’ school think of my jewelry and bags. I really never hang out with them. It’s not just their clothes that bore me. [/quote]

Why are jewelry and bags interesting?[/quote]

I didn’t say my jewelry and bags are interesting. But it’s clear many of you are INCREDIBLY interested in (and interested in policing) my bags and jewelry. [/quote]

I think the point is that they don't notice them one way or the other (which is what you seem to hope for, so it's all good), but when someone makes a point of the stuff and mentions the price tag, it's shocking and kind of ... sad.[/quote]

Except no one really cares about the rice tag of her accessories, it’s just that it’s a really cliche look. She can’t find anything more interesting than a Chanel bag? One can Cleef item is t enough, she needs the earrings, necklace, bracelet and 3 rings? It’s bad taste, at best unimaginative taste. [/quote]
