It Costs A Lot Of Money To Look This Dumpy: Brooklyn Moms Burn Big Bucks To Boho

Slouchy clogs and woven purse straps. Those are the new status markers of elite Brooklyn housewives these days. Business Insider reports that wealthy soccer moms are dishing out hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on those two defining accessories. And with starting prices around $300 and $140 respectively, they're an expensive update to the already-expensive styles that used to define the "mom look," which has previously included Ugg boots and Lululemon leggings. They look is one of many markers of an era in which discreet wealth is a new status symbol. Beyond just being newly chic, though, they also send a message about the look the wearer is striving for: namely, that they care more about comfort than appearance.
