Arbitrary signifiers of wealth & luxury

'Repose', John White Alexander (1895)

-- 

whimsical & soft pyjamas 

sturdy, weather-appropriate shoes & outerwear 

simple, beautiful jewellery 

clean and healthy hair, skin & nails 

comfort & warmth 

the ability to take your time 

self-assuredness 

humility 

matching delicates 

well-fitting clothes & shoes 

something between slim & loose 

high-quality fabrics 

a well-worn & well cared-for wardrobe 

an honestly designed & deeply personal home 

knowledge of one's ancestry, those who laid the foundations 

being well-spoken & speaking well with good intention 

not sweating the small stuff 

the liberty of choice & knowing how to choose well
