Instructions

The first impression you make on people directly depends on your overall grooming. Clean skin, well-groomed hands - all this can be achieved without special expenses using folk remedies or inexpensive skincare cosmetics. If you are not able to give yourself a flawless manicure yourself, look for an inexpensive “no pretensions” hairdresser near your home, the prices there are much lower than in beauty salons.

Pay special attention to the condition of your hair. They must always be clean - this is not even discussed. And none! Either you regularly update your color - or you don't dye your hair. A compromise option could be tinted shampoos - better than a natural tone. Dyed hair should either show the “hand of the master” or not be conspicuous; there is no third option. If you wear a short haircut, do not forget to update it on time; a hairstyle that has lost its shape will not make you look presentable. If regular visits to the hairdresser undermine your budget, grow your hair long; it will be enough to trim the ends once every few months.

Don’t skimp on bags and shoes – they should be of high quality and quite expensive. But you can afford to choose things that will “age” beautifully - for example, buy leather dyed in natural brown tones. Even shabby they will look stylish. Don't get carried away by extravagant styles that catch your eye. If you can only afford one pair of winter shoes and choose bright green boots with rich decor, they will not always look appropriate, and in addition, they will become familiar very quickly. Visit regularly - worn heels or shabby heels do not fit with the “million dollar” image.

Choose your clothes carefully. It is better if it is made from natural materials - all other things being equal, cotton, wool, linen, and silk look more expensive than synthetics. Don’t get carried away by “interesting models” - inexpensive items with a simple cut will look better, and their origin will be more difficult to “calculate”. In addition, things “from the market” are usually distinguished by the quality of seams and decorative elements. The less noticeable they are, the better.

Keep an eye out for discounts and sales of old collections in branded stores. Not all models from the past season become obsolete immediately, but quality always remains quality. Don’t hesitate to shop second-hand there – you can buy high-quality and original clothes in excellent condition. The main thing is to be interested in the dates of delivery of new things and come on the first day in order to have time to skim off the “cream”.

Select your outfits carefully – not a single element in them should “stand out” from the overall concept of the ensemble. Try to ensure that your appearance matches the situation as best as possible - for example, for a picnic it is better to wear cheap jeans rather than office trousers. And make sure that your clothes are always clean, without puffs or pilling.

Good afternoon, dear readers!

Today we’ll talk about how rich people dress. After all, each of us wants to live in abundance. As you know: if you want to be someone, live as if you already are.

Nowadays, rich people rarely stand out from the crowd with their appearance. The only exceptions are social events, to which it is customary for the nobility to come to them in new, extravagant outfits. And in everyday life, the rich, like many people with an ordinary financial situation, choose something in a casual style, there are even those who do not disdain stock and second hand. However, there are some nuances in the appearance of the wealthy part of the population.

Casual style of rich people.

Clothing selection criteria:

1. First of all, convenience

Rich people value comfort. Things should be pleasant to the body, and also such that it is comfortable to move and sit in them. A fairly simple rule that can easily be implemented by a person with a moderate standard of living.

2. Good cut and color

Most often these are things made of plain fabrics or with discreet patterns, tailored to order or perfectly fitting. And also certain shades that match the color type.

To decide on a color type, go to an image maker or try experimenting with shades by applying fabrics of different colors to your face.

No money to sew dresses? You can buy skirts wholesale and for each of them, choose three or four tops in shades that match your skin color.

3. Simplicity

It's rare to see rich people wearing flashy clothes, full of prints and all kinds of details. Rich people don't like huge slogans on T-shirts or super fashionable things.

Although, despite the modesty of the clothes, their cost can be quite impressive. If wealthy people wear something from Christian Dior or Calvin Klein, only designers or excellent fashion gourmets will be able to guess about it. It is worth learning from the rich how to be modest.

Don't have the opportunity to buy branded items? Then it is better to buy inexpensive plain T-shirts than obvious fakes with the name of a well-known TM on the entire back.

4. High quality

Things can be either well-known brands or designers, or not so much. But it must be made from high-quality and natural materials, stitched with even lines. This is what rich people choose to wear.

5. Subtle hint

And yet, attentive people immediately recognize a wealthy person in the crowd. Someone will have an expensive watch or a neckerchief, or maybe a perfect hairstyle. Or a trail of expensive perfume. Or a branded bag, or a polished pair of leather shoes.

And, of course, a confident gait, a charming look and beautiful posture are a true indicator of wealth not only in the external, but also in the internal world.

HOW TO LOOK FOR A MILLION: INVEST IN CLOTHING USING THE 1/3 RULE

You can achieve a lot with Vicky Oliver's book, The Millionaire's Handbook: How to Look and Act Like a Millionaire, Even if You're Not. For example, one of the brilliant tips is to invest in clothing using the one-third principle. This means that you need to reduce the number of things you buy to one third, but the price of each of those things should be three times higher. Thus, for the same amount that you are used to spending on your wardrobe, you will buy fewer things. But - excellent quality! Expensive and high-quality items in classic styles that will last for years are an excellent investment in your appearance.

HOW TO LOOK FOR A MILLION: CASUAL

Casual does not mean careless. Casual is a casual business, office style that can be easily transformed for both work and informal settings. For example, you can replace the trousers with arrows with discreet classic jeans in a dark color and combine them with a high-quality, well-fitting jacket with three-quarter sleeves or thumb length.

Pay close attention to black things: black only looks stylish when things are new. Washed and faded black looks lonely.

HOW TO LOOK FOR A MILLION: NO LUXURY BRANDS

Big brands make the image look cheap, not expensive. Things whose origin is difficult to identify look better than a belt or bag with a characteristic print or a huge buckle with the letter H. You should also give up Chanel-style bags on a long chain, boring Burberry-style plaid scarves and other easily recognizable things, the true cost which everyone knows. This can provoke dissonance in the perception of your image: a potential employer or fiancé will think, where exactly do you get the funds to buy such things?

A person who looks presentable, successful and well-groomed always inspires favor and trust. The image of respectability contributes to the rapid establishment of contacts, the emergence of understanding, the location of the opposite sex, etc.

And to look like this, you don’t have to be the daughter of an oil tycoon - you just need to know a few secrets for creating your own expensive and stylish look.

12 lessons on creating an “expensive” look – style lessons for every day

Of course, when you have money, everything is easier. You can contact a stylist who will help you create an image, undergo a course of procedures in a beauty salon, choose expensive clothes in a fashion boutique, etc.

Alas, most of our citizens cannot afford such expenses.

But this is not a reason to give up, because there are many ways to look expensive without investing a lot of money.

The most important style lessons for your look:

1. White and black. When choosing your outfit for the day, stick to one color of clothing – neutral. “All in white” or “all in black.” Playing with fabric textures will add sophistication. And, of course, take care of your hair - it should look like you just left the salon.
2. Monochrome. An option for those who do not like monotony in their image. We choose a wardrobe in monochrome colors. We take one color as a basis, and then tastefully (!) “layer” other elements of clothing in shades of the chosen color. The emphasis is on the texture of the fabrics. For example, suede and knitwear, wool and leather, or silk and denim.
   
3. Clothes to order. There is no need to go to the studio. A talented seamstress can be found in your city and outside the studio. We draw an exclusive sketch (to the best of our ability) ourselves, and then give it to the seamstress and wait for the masterpiece. This method will help to dilute your wardrobe not with the same type of “market” items, but with stylish and fashionable ones that no one else will have.
4. Timeless style. It is not necessary to “run” behind seasonal trends; the best choice is the classics, which always remain timeless. This option allows you to look expensive and makes it easier to create your own fashionable look. For example, we put on dark branded jeans and a beautiful T-shirt with a “V” neckline. We add the right shoes and accessories to the look.
5. The final accent. In this case we are talking about the details that complete the image. Just putting on a fashionable set of clothes is not enough; you must add, for example, a stylish hat, trench coat or raincoat. A small but important nuance, which, moreover, can be removed at any time.
6. Gold. We are not keen on jewelry. The main secret of the jewelry part of the image is a little, but expensive. There is no need to hang a whole box of diamonds, chains and rings on yourself - one expensive bracelet or chain with a pendant is enough. In the absence of funds for gold, we choose high-quality branded jewelry (not market jewelry!). However, designer silver is always in trend! Cheaper, more accessible and also effective.
7. "Geometric" bags. Any woman knows that one of the most important items in her look is a high-quality expensive bag, which must necessarily match your ensemble. Don’t skimp on bags - don’t take them on benches near your house, “where it’s cheaper.” If your salary does not allow it, it is better to take 1-2 handbags, but expensive and universal ones. That is, suitable for any image. It is better to choose models made of smooth leather, preferably with a geometric shape. And, of course, with a minimum of details.
   
8. Light print. Not intrusive, bright and large-scale, but light, emphasizing your style. For example, vertical or horizontal stripes.
9. Your individual style. No decorations? Don't have a closet packed tightly with a mountain of expensive items? No problem! We create a harmonious image from what we have. The main task is to create your own unique style by adding a few catchy details. For example, a fashionable hat, scarf, wide belt, gloves, etc.
10. Updating your old wardrobe! Today there are a lot of ways to give old things a second life: make beautiful fashionable shorts out of old trousers, renew knocked-down shoe toes with rhinestones, decorate old worn jeans with embroidery, beads or other decor, sew a lot of fashionable pockets on worn shirts, etc. A little imagination, one “ a magical" basket with handicrafts - and voila! A new fashionable look is ready!
    
11. Spectacular hairstyle. Even beautiful, but simply flowing hair is far from a sign of an “expensive” look. Your hair should look like you just jumped out of the beauty salon 5 minutes ago and ran on to business. Start every day with styling. Look online for hairstyles that suit you and that you can do yourself. Don't forget about hair care! A “dear” woman’s hair is always in great condition, shines with a healthy shine, and is beautifully styled.
12. Cosmetics. One of the ways to emphasize the advantages and, as you know, hide the imperfections of the skin. You need to use cosmetics only in compliance with this rule and, of course, to a minimum, and not in “3 layers of plaster.”

And don't forget about perfume! Choose delicate and refined aromas - sophisticated, not cloying.

How to look expensive and well-groomed without special expenses?

Image, of course, does not “decide everything,” as they say. But a lot depends on the image. After all, at all times we are greeted “by our clothes” - from the business sphere to personal life.

It is important to always be on your toes and keep your finger on the pulse!

Here are a few more secrets for creating an image with “singing finances” in your wallet:

• Have you bought a new inexpensive item? Add some shine to it with details. For example, expensive beautiful buttons. Today, in sewing stores you can find real button masterpieces.
• If you are on the fashionable path of a dear woman, do not use knitwear in your look. At least in public. Also pass by suede.
• Fashion trends come to the background! An elegant classic should be your beacon. Buy yourself a blazer, a pencil skirt, a cardigan and a few more classic pieces that you can work with further, depending on the look you are creating.
• We choose bags, belts and shoes exclusively from genuine leather. You can’t spare money for this.
• The polyester lining of the coat can be replaced with silk.
• Particular attention to hairstyle, makeup, choice of perfume - and, of course, to your hands. The hands of a dear woman are always well-groomed, neat, and with a beautiful, fresh manicure.
• We don't buy things at the market. Quit this bad habit and never go back to it. At sales in fashion stores (which happen twice a year) you can buy high-quality clothes at significant discounts.
• Don't grab everything when you go shopping. Learn to deny yourself nonsense and unnecessary rubbish so that you have enough money for worthwhile things.
• Don't buy cheap perfumes. Don't buy perfumes that are too sweet. Don't pour half a bottle of perfume on yourself at a time. The aroma should be light and refined.
• Get rid of bad habits, gestures and words. A dear woman will never allow herself to smoke like a locomotive in public, spit, swear, or drink more than half a glass of wine in any company. A dear woman is always cultured, polite and is a “born” diplomat.
• When purchasing things, carefully check their quality – seams, lining, all zippers and buttons.
• No creases on tights, holes on socks, snags or pilling on clothes , old underwear and elongated knees on trousers or sweatpants. You should always look like a queen. Even if you spend the whole day at home alone, if you take out the trash or run out to buy bread.

Mistakes in the desire to look expensive and well-groomed - how to avoid bad taste and vulgarity?

Everyone is familiar with the word “vulgarity”. But, unfortunately, not everyone remembers him when choosing an image for the coming day.

This word became very popular among aristocrats after the revolution in France: this label was hung on representatives from the bourgeois class who had neither blue blood, nor knowledge and traditions, nor appropriate upbringing.

Nowadays, the “symptoms” of vulgarity have changed somewhat, but still the essence remains the same.

So, what not to do if you want to be an expensive woman - your potential mistakes in the image:

• Too catchy, bright, inept makeup. We remind you once again - beauty should be natural! That is, we carefully and discreetly emphasize the advantages and no less carefully hide the shortcomings. And nothing more! Only high-quality, well-thought-out makeup can become your “weapon,” but not the war paint of a girl from the village who first got her hands on cosmetics.
• Unnatural hair color. No green and purple, as well as red and blue “overflows”. This is “fashionable” for a girl of about 15, but not for an adult “dear” woman. Tired of monotony? There are many possibilities to change your hairstyle - cutting, perming, coloring and highlighting, etc.
• Don't overdo your manicure. Yes, nails should be well-groomed and beautiful, but not extended with a lot of sparkles, pebbles, etc. The ideal option is a stylish classic French on oval or square shaped nails (not triangular, not pointed!).
• Forget about eyelash extensions and creepy drawn-in (instead of plucked) eyebrows! Be closer to the image that Mother Nature gave you.
• Too much nudity. A dress with an open back is a good option for going out with your gentleman. But not for a shopping trip. You should also forget about too deep necklines, too short shorts and skirts and other things that reveal to the public what should be hidden from view.
• Bad taste is the main enemy. If you do not know how to walk in stilettos and high heels, choose other shoes. Thick platforms are for teenagers. The disheveled hippie look is for teenagers. Dress with sneakers - for teenagers. A translucent blouse with significant excess weight is tasteless. A tight dress with a too skinny figure is tasteless.
• No rhinestones or sparkles on clothes if there are too many of them. The emphasis in the image should be on one thing! If you sparkle like a Christmas tree, talking about style is inappropriate. Are you wearing a bright scarf? Just stop there. No more bright details in the image. Decided to wear a sweater with a print? Choose everything else in one color, black or white.
• Skin substitutes are a categorical taboo. Everything should be natural. Ruffles, bows, an abundance of lace - also “in the firebox”.
• If you decide to slightly open any part of your body, adding seductiveness to your image, choose either your legs, your décolleté, or your shoulders. Opening everything at once is the height of vulgarity.
• Be careful with red! Yes, it is winning, “expensive” and attention-grabbing. But only under certain conditions: you have an ideal figure, not too much red, the image is laconic, competent and complete.
• Tights with large mesh , with “original patterns”, with seals in the form of “cats”, etc. are vulgar! Choose the classics!

When creating your new expensive image, make allowances for age, body type, color type, etc.

It doesn't matter how much money you have, anyone can look chic. In this article, you will learn how to dress like you have too much money, take care of yourself, and choose items that will make you look more sophisticated and sophisticated. In addition, you will learn to behave in such a way that nothing gives you away.

Steps

Choice of clothes

Buy clothes that fit well. It’s not jewelry, brands, fabrics or a certain cut that speaks about a person’s wealth - it’s all about clothes that fit the figure. If you want to look rich, you should buy clothes that fit as if they were tailored to you. Both casual and dressy clothes should fit well and highlight your figure.

• Finished garment sizes vary as the fabric is cut by the machine. Two pairs of pants of the same size may actually be different. Try on at least three pairs in your size to see what fits best.
• Spend a little more time shopping and buy those things that fit you perfectly. If you really like a shirt, skirt or pants, but they don't fit well, don't buy them.

1. Buy quality items occasionally, and have a lot of bargains in your wardrobe. If you want to save money on things but still look rich, there is one trick that will help you. You can buy one or two expensive branded items and then complement them with cheaper ones so that you can combine them in different ways and still look good.

   Remove tags and logos from clothing. Expensive designer clothing usually does not have logos in the most visible place. If you want to look like you have a lot of money, don't wear a bunch of logos. Choose simple clothes without a brand name.

   • Sometimes fashion brands like Coach, Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana and others place their logos or name prominently. Yes, these are expensive brands, but this is not a sign of wealth. It's better to have a lot of beautiful, nameless items in your wardrobe than one Coach bag that took all your savings.

2. Dress up more often. If you want to appear rich, it is important for you to look like you are in a hurry to somewhere important. Board meeting? Exclusive nightclub? Yacht club? Red carpet? Every day you should have a reason to dress nicer.

   • Men should wear pastel-colored cardigans, pressed cotton shirts, tailored slacks, and fitted jackets as often as possible. Under no circumstances should you wear shorts.
   • Women should wear skirts, dresses and heels if you want to achieve a classic look. To look more fashionable, you can wear designer jeans, a scarf and a printed tank. Don't leave the house in sweatpants.

3. Buy clothes made from natural materials. If possible, the fabric should be completely natural. When purchasing, pay attention to the labels where the ingredients are written and choose items made from cotton, cashmere, silk, linen and wool. If the fabric contains several materials, they should all be natural.

   Wear only clean and ironed clothes. Of course, having good clothes is important, but it is even more important to have clothes that look neat and well-groomed. Wash items according to label instructions and do not use a clothes dryer. Delicate fabrics should be dry cleaned. Iron your clothes before wearing them.

   • The more often you wash things, the faster they will wear out. Iron your clothes and store them carefully so you don't have to wash them again.
   • Wool, velvet and silk should be dry cleaned. Cotton and cashmere can be washed at home.

4. Be prepared for the weather. It is important to dress nicely for the weather. Don't get caught in the rain wearing inappropriate clothing - always be prepared for changes in the weather depending on the season.

   • Find out from fashion magazines what will be popular in the new season. Follow fashion trends to always know what will be fashionable soon.
   • A classic look involves layering your clothes, and sweaters, coats and similar items will be appropriate in cool weather.

5. Spend money on shoes. The look starts with the shoes, and good shoes can go a long way, so pay special attention to them. Buy at least one pair of quality shoes and several cheaper pairs for everyday use.

   • Men can take a closer look at classic oxfords and loafers, the importance of which many underestimate. Ankle-length boots will look fashionable and stylish. Choose shoes made of leather.
   • It’s a good idea for women to have classic heeled pumps in the style of the famous Chanel shoes in their wardrobe.
   • Keep your shoes clean. Take your shoes off indoors and clean and polish them regularly to keep them looking good longer. It is best to store shoes in boxes.

6. Wear inconspicuous jewelry. Jewelry can let you down. A small amount of jewelry indicates wealth, while excess indicates posing. When choosing jewelry, think Jay-Z, not Trinidad James; about Queen Elizabeth, not Snooki. A couple of simple pieces of jewelry can make your look elegant.

7. Choose fashionable or unusual accessories. A real designer bag or wallet is very good, but try buying something more fashionable and original. Many people always like what is fashionable, not counting conservatives. The item must be of high quality and made of leather, even if it is not designer. Choose something simple.

   Self care

   1. Shower daily. This will let others know that you care about yourself and that you have the time and resources to take care of yourself. Wash thoroughly every day and take the time to clean yourself up.

      • In the shower, cleanse your skin with a loofah. Free your skin from dead particles to deeply cleanse and make it healthy.
      • If you exercise, shower twice a day: in the morning and after exercise. Don't let sweat stay on your skin.
      • To keep your skin healthy and glowing, apply moisturizer after shower and use mild soap.

   2. Cut your hair every 2-3 weeks. If you don't have a lot of money, hairstyle is something that many are willing to give up, but you shouldn't do it. Get your hair cut by a good hairdresser you trust 1-2 times a month. Get rid of split ends and style your hair in a way that suits you.

      • Men's hairstyles should be perfectly straight, and their faces should be smooth. Beards and mustaches should be trimmed extremely carefully so that there is not a single extra hair anywhere.
      • Women should wear neat and fashionable hairstyles and their hair should be bright and shiny. Hair color should be natural, like any coloring or highlighting - everything should look as if your hair was slightly sun-bleached.
      • If you want to save money, learn how to cut your own hair.

   3. Use cosmetics in natural shades. The makeup of a wealthy woman should be natural - the most important thing here is soft colors and a neat base for makeup. Don't draw too bold arrows and don't use false eyelashes. Everything must be done with taste.

      • Take care of your skin. A rich woman should have good skin. It is best to leave your skin tone natural. To keep your skin clear and free of freckles, use sunscreen, although a slight blush has never bothered anyone.
      • The classic elements of a wealthy woman's makeup include red lipstick. She always looks stylish.

   4. Watch your nails. A manicure doesn't have to be very expensive. Get your nails cleaned and manicured regularly at an inexpensive salon. Short nails look elegant and expensive, while long nails look cheap and unnatural. To make your look more sophisticated, choose a French manicure.

      • Men should also get their nails done regularly to keep their nails and cuticles in good condition. The desire to devote time and care to your hands is a sign of wealth.
      • Learn to clean your nails and trim your cuticles yourself.

   5. Use whitening paste. Dental care and treatment are expensive. The more you take care of your teeth yourself, the better you will look and the less money you will have to spend on dentists. Use dental floss and mouthwash daily, and brush your teeth with a whitening toothpaste twice when you're lazy. Make your smile look like a million dollars.

      • White color is not always a sign of healthy teeth, but white teeth look much better than faded and yellow ones. Don't drink too much tea and coffee, don't smoke, and your teeth will be white.

   Behavior

   1. Go out into the world to be seen. Visit new restaurants, clubs and other popular places. Rich people often appear in the newest and most fashionable establishments not only to relax, but also to show off. If you want to give the impression of a wealthy person, try to follow the news and book your seats in advance.

      • Sign up for trendy restaurant newsletters or follow them on social media to be the first to know about trends and new dishes.
      • Opening day should always be your day. It is important for you to find yourself in a new place when it first opens, and not when everyone knows about it. Be the first.

   2. Have good manners and follow the rules of etiquette. Wealth comes with chic. If you want to come across as rich, it's important to mind your manners. Even if you are waiting in line, you should remember to behave with dignity.

      • Eat more slowly and chew with your mouth closed. Take your time to swallow food - enjoy the process, and do not swallow it without chewing.
      • Stay calm and don't raise your voice if you're upset. Learn to speak in a calm and even tone, even if someone is trying to annoy you.
      • Keep your back straight and don't lower your head. Good posture while sitting and standing indicates wealth.

   3. Research luxury brands. Knowing key expensive brands will let others know that you are rich, even if you don't have the things you talk about. Wealthy people often pay attention to the following brands:

      • Clothing: Gucci, Dior, Burberry, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Coach, Louis Vuitton.
      • Cars: Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Bugatti, Cadillac, Jaguar, Maserati, Ferrari.
      • Other famous names and titles, including restaurants and their chefs, designers, artists, architects. Rich people know about local celebrities.
      • Express your thoughts clearly. Speak more slowly and quietly, pronounce your words clearly and formulate your thoughts clearly.

   4. Take up a fashionable hobby. Rich people have their own interests. Some of them cost a lot of money, but if you want to appear rich without spending money to participate, read about the following wikiHow classes to make yourself seem like a real expert at it:

      • Golf
      • Tennis
      • Skiing
      • Eating in fine restaurants
      • Sailing
      • Trips
      • Horse riding

   5. Don't show everything off. Very rich people don't feel the need to show off their money. More often than not, these people are the least interested in their conditions. If you want to make the impression you want, it is important to relax and let people draw their own conclusions. Don't impose your "wealth" on others.

      • If the conversation comes up about money, brush it off. If you are forced to talk about it, you can say something like this: “I don’t want to talk about it” or “I’m fine.”
   • Be polite to service staff, including waiters, but don't go overboard. Be courteous and act as normal.
   • If you are invited to dinner, bring a bottle of wine or a bouquet of fresh flowers. Don't forget to send letters of thanks for a pleasant evening.
   • If you have a lot of money or pretend that you have a lot of it, people won't necessarily like you any more.
   • Wear designer clothes. They can be bought in many multi-brand boutiques and their outlets.
   • Search the Internet for the addresses of outlets (that is, stores that sell designer items at a discounted price). It's also worth looking for discount coupons at these stores.
   • Learn proper table manners. It's also worth learning about the difference between creme brulee and custard.

   Warnings

   • Don't smoke or take drugs. No chewing gum. Don't swear in public and never appear anywhere drunk.
   • Remember that trying to look rich can lead to completely opposite results. Anyone who spends hundreds of thousands of rubles on a watch receives not only a magnificent watch, but also a debt of hundreds of thousands of rubles.
   • Never talk about money or expensive toys that you have or don't have.
   • If you get angry, don't threaten to sue people.
   • It's not about things, clothes or cars that can create a false impression. It's about attitude to life. Don't be greedy and rude to people. Do not wear frilly jewelry or trendy clothes that scream about their expensiveness.
   • If you pretend to be someone else, it can play a cruel joke on you. Your new friends are just friends of the false image you have created. Your former friends may be offended by this behavior and turn away from you.
