If you're following kikiastorofficial on ig you'll have heard about this: nauveau pauvre means you still have the cultural capital…the taste, the discernment, the manners, the priorities…but perhaps not the cash flow you once had…or never had to begin with. You know how to: Order properly in a restaurant. Pack for a weekend away. Choose quality over logos. Host with grace. Behave like you belong in civilized society. The bank account may be sub-optimal. Remember, old money energy was never about the money. It was always about taste, restraint, manners, and priorities. - Kiki Astor
