I just joined the thread to say that, in 2021 I can’t believe she is able to advertise st Ives face scrub with a straight face.
I don’t get why so many influencers are trying so hard to come across like lady of the manor? All the shots in linen clothing, surrounded by flowers and gardening and making a big deal of living in the country…
my grandmother wasn’t aristocratic but she was “old money”, and from the country.
she wouldn’t be caught dead with a designer bag. Old money doesn’t like anything with labels on show, they think it’s tacky.
she loved her gardening and grew vegetables, but wouldn’t dream of faffing around in a big linen dress. It was an old shirt and trousers she’s had for years.
she rarely ever updated her home decor and it definitely was nothing like the likes of Josie’s or Lydia’s brand new top of the range stuff. Old money doesn’t care about keeping up with fashion trends. When my grandmothers sofa got a bit tired she just had it reupholstered. Old money is a bit dusty and well, old. Think of that photo of princess Anne’s living room. As the saying goes, old money doesn’t buy new furniture - it goes to the attic.
