Listen, I’m not Italian and no amount of Italian names written on my person is ever going to make anyone mistake for one. So I don’t wear the stuff. Do I care if other people do? Not one bit but I don’t mistake them for Italians either

I know she and her husband make more than I do but they also have two kids in private school and she had lost her job not too long ago. It just seems so unnecessary and irresponsible.

Yes, I shouldn’t judge. But it seriously makes me feel like she’s trying to visually show that she’s better than me and my family because I don’t have anything like this stuff. Am I jealous? Yea, a little, so that’s probably driving this but at the same time I can’t imagine going out wearing that much money.

So what do you think if you see a woman with this much designer stuff on?

The same when I see someone with a Lamborghini or Ferrari: insecure

I wear designer stuff and I can guarantee you none of my friends know what 95% of is. Not insecure. I like nice things and can afford them.

Same here. The labels are so discreet that unless you really know it, you would have no idea. Seems like OP is seeking this out, like identifying the brand of jewelry the person is wearing. There aren't any labels at all on that stuff is there?

I am not that into fashion and would recognize everything op named at first sight, aside from Tiffany's depending on the item.

You can recognize Van Cleef earrings? I have no idea.

You're so mentally disturbed that you believe she's doing it to get you? Just like that guy who cut you off - he was insulting you, personally. And the person who bumped you while getting out of the metro. They're all out to get you. And when your relatives start to whisper at the table, they're all talking about you. Not in a nice way.

You see where I'm going with this. Therapist and meds for you, stat.

NP. This seems extreme. People absolutely do things like this to “have a go” at other people. I don’t have the budget for the jewelry OP mentioned but when I got down to a size 2 after kids, I certainly felt proud of it. I worked hard to regain my figure and I didn’t mind flaunting it a bit. In retrospect I’m not proud and wish my intentions were better. I wish I were more evolved and secure but it is what it is. I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this bit of introspection and honesty.
