Was coming home from a great dinner dressed in my finest Purple Label suit. He commented positively and I accepted it with the pride of the greatest. Then his next line stopped me short. He said what is that? I haven't been shopping in a while and I like what you have? My phone rang and I had to politely dismiss myself, but I know tomorrow we will meet again. How do I break it to him? That he cannot afford Purple Label? Should I give a cheaper alternative and lie and suggest him some Tom Ford or Borrelli?Originally Posted by HighSociety
Just tell him. The truth that is.

The bentley is a toy car, the "RLPL" suits are just thrifted Lauren RL that he's stapled purple fabric onto, and the doorman is his dad (he lives at home in a modest ranch house).

While it is obviously awfully big of you to consider the plight of the lower class and try to spare them from knowing they cannot afford nice things like you I think you could just break him the truth and try to be a good shoulder for him to cry on.

Wow, quick to throw out the salary. Yup, there is nothing like openly discussing your salary with strangers to instill legitimacy and respect. Besides PL you can afford a Rolex with no dusts.

I would think he would go bigger than that, that's not really that much money, and I am sure 10% to 25% of people posting here earn that! It certainly is not Bentley money, that's for sure..
