Con mas ínfulas que prestigio
Could you please help me with this sentence from a novel?
Escogió la joyería exacta, con mas ínfulas que prestigio, donde sabía que se vedía y se compraba sin demasiadas preguntas She chose the right (?) jewelry, ... ... ..., where she new that things are bought and sold without too many questions. |
She chose the perfect jewelry store, with more stuffed shirts than prestige, where she knew they sold and bought without too many questions.

¿Stuffed shirts means self vanity/conceit?? Rusty, Do you know the origin?
Saludos :D |
People who put on airs are also called stuffed shirts.

Sometimes when I was little and answered back when told off, my father said:menos ínfulas, niña.
I think I had never heard that expression ever again. |
Agree with you, Maria José
Heraring it is difficult, but reading is more common. saludos :D |
