As someone who grew up in this neighborhood, Liu Chin and her mother are very familiar with dresses and shoes. They spent most of their time traveling around the world to watch fashion week. Most of their money was also spent buying luxurious clothes and shoes.
Some of which are dresses that they haven't even worn once. To Liu Chin, this was not burning money. To her, this is an investment. Her designer bags and shoes are something that even her great-great-granddaughter could inherit.
Normally, during tea parties, some women in the neighborhood would show off their newest limited edition clothes. This is not because they are bragging about their money. No… they don't need to do that. This is mainly to brag about the influence of their family or their husbands.
Sadly people get judge in the way they dress.
Last december: I went to ask my bank how to file for a Creditcard( I am the supplementary of hubby and I want to get my own for my credit score.) I was wearing a vneck shirt and shorts and slippers. Because... I am lazy.
The lady was pretty snobbish. and was like: just look at our website. So I decided to move on and asked her for a permit for visa. then she had to look at my bank acct for my acct balance.
Then after looking at my bank acct she was like: actually, you can fill up a form now. You are preapprove for blabla.
Sigh.
