But my problem is that each time I wear an item to family dinners, my cousin ALWAYS points it out and it makes me feel extremely awkward because it’s loud enough that the entire table is able to hear. Now, my cousin is also one who enjoys luxury items which is why she recognizes the pieces I have. I find it extremely annoying that each time I wear something designer it has to be pointed out!!
It usually goes along the lines of:“Oh wowwwwwwww that’s a Chanel”“Wowww that’s new. How come I’ve never seen it before???”“Wow your shoes are Chanel? I would never spend that much on shoes”“Oh wowww that’s new I’ve never seen it before. When did you buy it? How much was it?”“Oh woww you have a lot of money huh?”
To be honest it gets to a point where I actually feel annoyed and embarrassed at the same time. I think it’s ridiculous that she has to point out items that she has never seen me wear because I don’t go announcing whenever I buy something? Plus it’s not like she knows everything I have in my closet?
It makes me feel extremely awkward when my other family members overhear my cousin’s remarks. My cousin is a lot older and very successful in her career so it feels like nobody cares if she wears these luxury items to our family dinners. I’m a lot younger and perhaps not as successful as her yet - however I do work very hard for the things I have and I’m not in debt.
Would anybody have any good responses I can use whenever my cousin passes remarks on the things I wear? Thank you!
