How does one shop in a non-consumerist way? I think maybe you have to be rich, so that we believe that her decision not to buy literally the entire store is about Taste and Selectivity, instead of the obvious reason why most of us don’t buy everything Prada sells
It's exactly that the article is saying. That she could buy everything, but didn't. Because she was posh, not because she couldn't afford it. Everyone not posh not buying everything at Prada is an evil consumerist and is committing sins in their mind.
From the CJN column: "Was this a pro-meritocratic antisemitic argument, possibly the first of its kind?"
Sadly not the first - "underqualified Jews are taking away university spots from qualified non-Jewish Whites" has been a talking point in certain corners of the Right for years. (Steve Sailer and Ron Unz in particular are weirdly fixated on this.)

Your slip dress looks good.
If you're a little curious about the show, I recommend Tara Ariano's recaps on The Decider. You get a good feel for it without having to sit through it. https://decider.com/2026/02/12/love-story-episode-1-recap/
