You can just feel, see and smell the $.  Whenever I am in Greenwich or other areas I get that feeling and I'm eve good at reading it. It's super understated, but you can just tell.

The flashy Potomac/DC/Loudon/McLean brand whores don't have it.  It always looks like they are trying way too hard.  We have couple friends like this that are mortgaged out the wazoo, lease their expensive cars and have massive credit card debt-but put on quite a show.[/quote]

LOL, my very good friend live in McLean and we were talking "fashion" the other day.  We have very similar tastes in brands (Loft, Gap and Target for us, Children's Place and Crazy 8 for the kids!) and she says when a friend compliments her on a new top and asks where it came from she'll say "Thanks!  BIG sale at Loft AND I had a coupon!"  They just look at her like she's nuts on many levels.  Number one, probably for shopping at Loft and not Ann Taylor, two, for waiting for a sale instead of instant gratification and 3, the white trash coupon usage![/quote]
