What does the word POSH come from?

Just like Posh and Becks: Clergy have said they would be 'unfazed' by couples requesting a celebrity-style wedding

The POSH means is smart and fashionable. In Uran dictionary (2003) explain:"The word means rich, aristocratic, wealthy, loaded, fancy, toff, toffee nosed, upper crust, well off, or well to do. The origin of this word actually derives from an old Romany Gypsy slang word for pennies, i.e. if you've a lot of pennies, you're well to do, rich, etc. In this light, the word posh can be used as a term of light hearted derision."

Moreover, I like posh. Sometimes, I look at some books about trends information, and select some clothes suits me. Every item of the dress have own beautiful idea. Every people like different style. therefore, it makes me that I can give a person with clothes. But this is just my hobby.

Thanks
