From Muriel Barbery’s The Elegance of the Hedgehog:

Colombe Josse is . . . a sort of tall blond leek who dresses like a penniless Bohemian.  If there is one thing I despise, it is the perverse affectation of rich people who go around dressing as if they were poor, in second-hand clothes, ill fitting gray wool bonnets, socks full of holes, and flowered shirts under threadbare sweaters.  Not only is it ugly, it is also insulting: nothing is more despicable than a rich man’s scorn for a poor man’s longing.
