Mob Wife vs Old Money

Gold and a red lip, or camel and navy. How Mob Wife and Old Money split when both look expensive.

A gold object and a red lip beside camel and navy cloth

Expensive is not a style

Both searches want clothes that look costly. Old Money does it with Ivory, Camel, and Navy. Mob Wife does it with Mink, Gold, Lipstick, and Noir.

The volume is the tell. Old Money can be missed across a room. Mob Wife is the reason you looked.

What to swap

Swap the camel coat for a darker coat and add a red shoe, and the outfit moves. Swap the red shoe for a navy knit, and it moves back.

Faux fur is optional. The palette note already explains how to skip a fur coat and keep the style.

A secondary style is allowed

A week can hold a navy dinner and a gold evening. The quiz names the one you choose more often and keeps the other if it scores next.

Read both palettes before you decide the lead from a single photo.
