The New "Bling" - Modesty

Mike "Mish" Shedlock of Global Economic Trend Analysis captures a quote from Dallas (the same quote appears in the NY Times) -

"Kim Gatlin, a novelist who lives in Park Cities, in the Dallas area, said some of her friends had urged their husbands not to give them jewelry over the holidays. “They were like, you know, ‘There’s nothing I’m dying for right now — let’s just wait,’ ” she said. “It makes them feel like they’re participating, although they don’t contribute to the income stream.”

Mish continues... "It's tough to want to flaunt wealth when so much wealth has vanished."

Style does not have to be expensive, and in the coming year expensive style is out.
