My mother would look at her in the threadbare jackets, worn-through shoes and moth eaten kilts and feel pity. She was always asking me if perhaps she'd like some of my sister's cast offs. I had to explain that my friend lived in a thirty-some room house in the snooty suburb next to us, and that her dad commuted into the city via his private helicopter that landed in back of their house. For longer trips, he had a jet that flew out of the old Meigs Field. They were *so* rich, rich isn't the right word to describe it. That said, had I not been to her house, I'd have never known. For an heiress, there wasn't a hint of Paris Hilton about her. I doubt her family would have put up with that. The "old money" types used to behave better.

Especially with the bag and shoes. <br /><br />I heartily endorse all your observations (including those written between the lines) about fine quality in garments resting on not only design but also materials and workmanship. It required 30 winters for me to wear out a Bean corduroy skirt which was a well-cut A-line that forgave my shifting cargo. Bass loafers last longer, especially if one acquires a pair that permits the wearing of knee socks. <br /><br />The old-money rich I know would glance at the lovely scarab bracelet and exclaim, "oh, I've got one of those from Aunt..." And they would certainly approve the charming Nantucket basket as "so sweet, remember Muffie gave us those at the..." Once upon a time, Goody, one lived with grace and those of us who didn't inherit those grace notes are now fortunate to purchase them at Goodwill.Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-25374432493037063752015-10-05T20:39:34.809-07:002015-10-05T20:39:34.809-07:00I have a thing for fine corduroy, and those socks,...I have a thing for fine corduroy, and those socks, and those shoes!!

It was her job to pick bugs out of the bags of flour. I'm sure the health department wouldn't have liked it, but flour is a grain and sometimes it happens. <br />LL Bean IS for the American ruling class- at play anyway. The old-money rich that I knew growing up all looked shabby in moth-eaten woolens and ill fitting kilts. <br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-34001923950742440752015-10-04T20:29:26.223-07:002015-10-04T20:29:26.223-07:00Looking very like LLBean attired 'ruling class...Looking very like LLBean attired 'ruling class' in the cardigan, loafered, & Nantucket basket ensemble.<br />I sampled a traditional cheese in Nicaragua with maggots in it, creamy with a bit of an ammonia like bite as I recall.<br />But hey, since the border blockade here in Nepal we're reduced to eating rice which I must spend about 10 minutes picking weevils out of before cooking. I believe (or hope) the UN will be stepping in shortly.<br />That's why I gave up sewing clothes, the quality of fabric available to home seamstresses is such crap. Plus tailors make about $2 a day here so why even bother?<br />Bibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558898404184063417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-80737728332031311192015-10-04T14:44:43.723-07:002015-10-04T14:44:43.723-07:00@Propagatrix
