Re: "People like us", let me add a vote to "not just the filmer's prejudice". There are a lot of jokes/ideas about this in our society, from talk about the nouveau rich to films based upon a person from another class joining a given class and setting things on their ear. (Of course, any story must be based upon "if this didn't happen, there wouldn't be much fo a story".)
Anything coming from *MY* brain can't be counted on to be typical, but I also notice the same sort of thing in my feeling of victory in shopping in a good men's clothing store. "HAH! Fooled you all into thinking I belong here!" Of course, I'm not really 'fooling' anyone, insofar as I'm not being deceitful. I think the only thing that makes for a real difference is that I now know about the scale of clothing prices and if I find myself looking at a $500 suit, I can decide if I want it and can afford it. That, in itself, helps keep me from feeling out of place.
Good luck regardless of your feelings at capclave; you probably have less to worry about than I do when walking into a men's clothing store, but then, my worries aern't rational either.
