The Right Way to Brag on Instagram
Louise Linton, wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, raised ire this week with an Instagram post depicting herself descending the steps of a government jet accompanied by the caption, 「Great #daytrip to #Kentucky! #nicest #people #rolandmouret pants, #hermesscarf, #tomford sunnies, and #valentinorockstudheels #valentino #usa.」 In the photos, the 36-year-old Scottish actress, who grew up in a castle and married Mr. Mnuchin, a multimillionaire, earlier this year, is clad in what appeared to be approximately $16,000 of luxurious cream wool crepe designer clothing and opulent accessories, which she dutifully tagged for any Real Americans currently in the market for thousand-dollar white pants.
This, of course, is one of the classic social media bungles! Who hasn’t inadvertently posted an innocent outfit of the day that comes across as more stuck up than aspirational? Who can keep all this millennial etiquette straight when your Borzoi just spilled emeralds all over your laptop? Well, great news for busy public-service-minded citizens on the go: We』ve compiled an easy guide to help you show off your #shoegoals without implying that you’re #abetting a #violent #racist #kleptocracy. Just have your calligrapher transcribe it and you’re ready to Instagram!
DON』T: Lay it on too thick. Instead of a florid tableaux in which you look like Khaleesi stooping to scatter millet for the teeming indigents of Slaver’s Bay to snarl and grub over, try a cute Starbucks selfie that shows off your new hat. Less is more. #hatgoals
DO: Express appreciation for the gifts the universe has given you. Less attitude, more gratitude.
DON』T: Reveal your own deeply flawed filter on the world.
