Araminta was poor before this - at least, her wardrobe was nothing to write home about. So I can see where she would revel in her nice new clothes. But Betts has her dress up to go to the country, which seems strange. Here's the quote (p. 151): "...since they hoped to spend the weekend walking and pottering in the garden, Araminta wore the suede jacket and one of her new skirts with a silk shirt and cashmere sweater. She wore sensible shoes too..."
Well, I'd hope she wore sensible shoes! Because honestly, this is a really odd outfit to wear for gardening, in that sort of bathing-horses-in-champagne way. Why not wear an old skirt?
